    American employees waist 20% of their work day

    Committment Letter?

    I agree with sundale. It is up to management to decide what project you work on, let them sign the document, if possible. I believe if your manager assigns you the projects, ask her/him kindly to make the commitment, on her/his own behalf, not yours, and when the time comes you will gladly...
