It's important to point out that this manager does NOT put in extra 
hours at home or in the office, no matter what. I'm not aware of her 
daily tasks/goals but there have been at least six times where some of 
her work has wound up on my desk because "she couldn't get to it."  What 
irritates me so is that this individual does not go above and beyond 
like some of the other managers from the list seem to  (ex. checking 
email in the evenings or during commuting time, etc.). She goes on 
vacation and comes back and checks email for one or two days when she 
returns. Her attitude is if it cannot get done during business hours, it 
doesn't get done. In addition, we are constantly waiting for her to 
review our work, which holds us up, instead of occasionally bringing 
home the work to review.

BTW, my point in mentioning that we both have children the same age is 
that I manage to check my email in the evenings and BEFORE I return to 
the office from vacation. No, I don't think this is SUPER HUMAN, but I 
do think it is part of the job and what a responsible employee will 
likely do when they give a hoot about their job.
