The hours do not matter. All that matters is what did you actually worked out for yourself. As far as the problem goes, if you can't work it with your head, don't try to work it with your arse.
Who should be happier, you or your boss?

If I was a manager type bloke (like I dress up as a girly in my spare time) in charge of people (of various genders who can dress up how they like) I don't think I'd be doing performance appraisals.....
Make of that what you will.

Hello Frank,
Yes, the guys in our company thought so as well. However, when someone couldn't help but chuckle he went ballistic and screamed into his face. Basic training is often no fun.
The other things he told us probably dates back to the 18th century: "As civilians you came, as men you will leave" and "Anything that doesn't immediately lead to your death will make you tougher".

And your DI wants you to believe that they know every trick in the book. ;-)

I recall one of our engineers turned up in a thick roll-neck jersey his wife had knitted for him, with the Fourier transform equation knitted in. That's commitment ;-)

One of our guys turned up in a suit on the first day. Unfortunately, on the first day you get your photo taken for your security card.
We did warn the latest guys to join us not to wear a suit....
Regards Ian
No, that's just involved.
In bacon and eggs, the chicken was involved but the pig was committed.

Hello Michael,
But the older ones do know a lot of tricks that aren't in the book. Like never to wear freshly washed socks when 15 miles of hiking in full gear was required. Gets you blisters in no time. They told us to wear the socks from yesterday plus some thinner ones over them. It worked. No blisters anymore.

We didn't do a lot of marching. They cut almost two full weeks out of basic training, so we were transported in a tractor trailer across the base rather than march so we didn't drop one class. They also pulled a number of double PT sessions in the hot August & September sun at Ft Knox.
I was thinking more along the lines of they thought that knew every trick a GI would pull to get away with something. They never expected a private to play mind games on them, and when they realized what I was doing, it scared the hell out of them. ;-)

I currently work offshore, on a survey ship. Parts of the crew works two weeks on and two weeks off, other parts of the crew works four weeks on and four weeks off. In this sort of situation, everything is exaggerated by a factor 50 or more.
Start with the food and housing. If any of these are poor, the performance of the whole ship is affected. People who complain about the food spend energy on trivialities, that drain from their work capacity. People who don't sleep well, get tired and worn out very quickly.
Next, the contact with friends and family. A 10 minute phone call every
couple of days may be OK to stay in touch, but not to sort out domestic problems. What was that $1000 bill that dropped in the mail two days ago really all about? Why was the 5-year-old sick in kindergarden today? What are my chances with that girl I met at the part last weekend? These are more or less trivial questions in everyday life; they can become enormous at the best of times when one is prevented from following up quickly and personally.
Then there is the weather. When at sea, you have to work on the grace of mother nature. If the weather is too bad to do any work, there
is nothing you can do about it. Maybe you even have to seek more sheltered waters. Different people have different tolerance to sea sickness. You are expected to do your job as long as there is working conditions what the VESSEL is concerned. If your tolerance is lower, then you have a problem.
So you see, there may be lots of relevant "non-work-related factors" to consider. True, at sea the conditions may be more extreme, but the general principle and line of thought applies everywhere.

Is there any other sort of employee?
