this type of behavior?

It's a territorial thing - the manager is a very lite programmer (rpgII),
takes control of all specs,holds no department meetings, really doesn't want
us talking to each other, and really fears new ideas. Perfect example: night
processing & saves takes 3 hours, many sites are 24x7, Qinter is ended &
users are off. Each nite job is "disconnected", so when one ends, next only
starts at appointed time. Wasted time is almost an hour.  I said"I can fix
that so when one ends, the next starts". Well, my 6 month project is too
precious to take a few hours to do this, and the night users are "used to
waiting". Answer is No. (Also,
previous contract person messed with nite process, and many mornings qinter
was still down and process halted.)
Not what you and I consider common sense. Would actually make her look good
to users, but if not her idea, it doesn't happen. Would love to see a
satisfaction survey with the users. Problem is, since the users know the
system as "the 400", their simplistic view is that it is a "bad" machine.
(praying for new management)
