see even when u ask whether u should quit, since no-one is supporting you, think in a different way.... What would quiting do..... put u out of the office? So, try to make urself be heard to the MD, and let say, ur MD goes against u, then that would be a situation where quiting would be a solution and not now when u have not even tried ur level best to resolve the problem. Quit , but let everybody, including your MD, know the reason ........ and who knows luck and your MD might go in your favour.....?

Dear Ankur,
QUIT. The solution given by Sahiya is 101% perfect. At this age (58) changing mindset is not possible. Find out a suitable job and quit this Company ASAP.
With all best wishes and regards.

Hi
I am going strictly by the comments you have made about your boss' behaviour.
My recommendation would be :-
1) Give us more information about your MD viz. the kind of person he is. If he is the opposite (more or less) of your boss, then go speak with him
2) Also, start looking for another job simultaneously. You must be prepared for the wind to change direction.
3) With respect to sitting late - sit with your boss in the morning or noon when he comes in, draw out a list of activities / tasks for you to perform in discussion with him. At the end of the day, give him a status report on the completeness. SUBTLY imply to him that you would like to make his work easier by doing your work in an organized manner because you plan your day well.
4) With regard to his attitude towards staff, please refer point 2 of this post - there is no other way to deal with it, save for sending him on a development LAB, which doesn't guarantee a 100% change in attitude or behaviour.
5) Do your exit interviews and analysis thereof, and present the report to the MD and mark a cc to your boss. Make sure your data is properly substantiated because you can be sure that your boss will come screaming at you verbally and on email. As a test, you can request the MD to take an exit interview himself, preferably outside office. Ensure that the resigning employee is not met by your boss or one of his allies since he may be threatened by virtue of holding back relieving documents, etc.
In the scenario you describe, I don't see much use in wasting your skills by staying with the organization, except perhaps to complete a year or 2 or service. I am assuming that there is good opportunity for on the job learning for you.
Trust this is useful to you.

Dear Ankur,
I understand your situation. Ankur, when you are working in a professional atmosphere it doesn't matter where you are staying and how much time does it take for you to travel. You should think about the situation, think whether the time you are spending in office is worth staying long hours. Simply waiting for long hours is of no use.
Get into a discussion with your HR manager who would be the right person to speak about or escalate it to your reporting manager's manager. Tell him the exact problem. Tell him that you are ready to work if there is a necessity and hope that would surely help you. Your stability and reasons for leaving the company does matter dear. You should be able to handle stress and presurre. Take care. All the best.

Dear Ankur
If a HR Head is unable to boost the morale of his own team, then how he can perform is primary responsibility. Quiting the job is not at all a solution. If you are next to VP in HR, You can ask all your colleagues to leave on dot at 6.00 pm. Powers are not given. Its being excercized.
You have the patience and attitude right. Tell your boss that you can handle the situation in your team members absense. Do like that for
a week.
Your Boss seems to have lot of EGO. Host a small pizza party. Invite him.
Make him feel that he is so important. Its very easy to flatten a person with great ego. Its not a cheap technique. Its a strategic move only. Many a time during counselling we (HR) are applying lot of such tactics to convince / to boost the morale with employees. Why cant you use same
tactics with your boss also.
The Entire HR Seniors are ready to give you quality input and moral support. Wish you all the best.

Dear Ankur
Do not do anything. Just sit down quietly and introspect and answer the following questions to yourself,
What do you want in your life and from your career?
Which job are you more comfortable with?
What are your dreams and how you want to achieve them? I think you will be able to get your solution.
The question is not if you sit late or come early. The question is if you are able to complete your tasks or not. You said that your boss comes late and he give you the work. Why you cannot be proactive? Why he need to give you work? I am sure that you are handling some particular role. Do your work before hand.
There is no short-cut to success.
I hope this will help.
Thanks and Regards

I would suggest you finish your work by mentioned time and try to logout for the day.
One hour extra time is suggestible to finish the last hour work....If needed prepare a time sheet for everyday and send it to your reporting Manager by the End of the day.
All the best!!!
