    Had a boss who messaged all the time. If I didn't respond right away he'd phone or come over. He insisted that IM had to be open all the time so he could micromanage.

    I cleared the way for him to find someone who was prepared to work that way.

      Used with a bit of common sense, there is value in having something like skype distributed amongst the team. Used without common sense, it's annoying.

        I opened the desk drawers so he had no where to sit and he sat on the desk next to mine.

        This could be a long battle until the contract ends.

            he just want to be all matey and make you feel relaxed. he is almost certainly trying to set up a rapport prior to inviting you to join the squash club then inviting you out for the 'office splash' every evening.
            after that it will be the swinging sessions and only a short step to wearing the gimp mask and the rubber gear.
            If you dont like the idea of being Pegged by big Annie from Accounts
            tell the fcker to get his @rse off your desk NOW.

                  Unfortunately there is a definite lack of 21 year old attractive girls working in corporate IT
