@mawinder you're nuts!!! How did I miss this thread?
I think you just have to stand up for these fools and don't let them bully you.
However, if it is your boss, then you need another strategy i.e.
1). Be very organized
2). keep track of everything emails
3). Manage your boss as follows:
4). when he/she asks you to do something at 8am take note of that,
5). when he/she calls you at 8:30am for another job remind him of the 1st job that started at 8am and was taking 2hrs,
6). Let him/her choose whether to stop working on the 1st job or not.
7). If he says drop no.1 and embark on no.2, remind him/that you after you're done with no.2, you will need 1h 30mins later to complete no.1, which was only 30mins through.
8). Repeat (5) to (7) for job no.3, 4, ...n
9). When total time for the jobs in that day => 8 hours, raise a flag and tell your boss that so far all these jobs will take more than today!!
10). Let him decide
11). when you go back to your desk, summarize what you just discussed and agreed with him/her on email and send saying "
As discussed..." and
copy his/her boss, then smile and get on with work, kubaff
Don't be rude, don't argue, don't smile, but just be professional.
