This is something I've faced many times over my career, and it is something that needs to be sorted out so that the manager doesn't simply think you're incompetent, slacking off etc. Especially in small companies (where the manager might even be the owner etc.), you'll find plenty of people who feel like they could do all the work better themselves - explaining your added value is good. | |
