Bah. You're probably using stale overroasted beans, and you're definitely destroying any taste left in them by letting the grounds sit in the doser all night.
As somebody said: keep grinding after two clicks, but make sure the doser is empty. That way, you'll only have one shot of coffee going stale at night, and it's easier to chuck the first shot the next day than to throw away an entire doser.
Instead of grinding finer, you could also try to dose more coffee. My guess is that your boss is probably skimping on the amount of grounds in each shot (and please don't tell me that you have to use the same puck twice??).
This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....
