Just to add to it, looking from time perspective you feel like a fool, there were many occasions in span of several months when SU/meeting couldn't be attended; already constrainted due to timezone difference, you'd think he'd make an effort to at least be available during short overlap hours, but couldn't because:

I had this happen too. I started a spreadsheet to keep track just to show my bosses that I wasn't crazy, something seemed very off. The excuses I got were more questionable than these. I got very lucky when they were let go as part of a layoff, never had to really confront them about it.


>- i'm on m1

I assume that's a mac, can't blame the poor fella :D
