Yeah, when my ex-boss complained that I didnt come in until 10:30am but didnt complain that I worked 14 hours a day. So then I started working 8 hours a day and of course that was unreasonable in his mind. I am a software engineer, so the exact hours dont really matter since I dont interface with the customers on a regular basis and he did leave the schedule up to me.
@wlonsdale1 ny is an at will employment state. They don't need a reason to fire you and many companies explicitly adhere to schedule and if you are late ot leave early you get written up.
I once worked for a large drywall company in the 80's. There were 40 men and we had a 30 minute safety meeting on a Monday morning and afterwards 10 names were called out and the rest of us went to work. At break I asked what happened with the 10 guys and was told that they were laid-off! I jumped up and went into the job shack where the project superintendent and head foremen were taking a break and announced that if they EVER treated me like that I would send motherfuckers off of the building. I said, "By God you fire me like a man on a Friday after I get my check. You let me drink up my disposable income over the weekend and fire me Monday morning after making me come to work and it's going to be your ASS!"
Odd take, since in truth, the more productive workers are rarely promoted. After all, if the company promotes them, they lose out on the profit those worker's productivity and skill generate. Also, it's weird to advocate for wage theft.
@ynmonroe it is more likely that someone who goes above and beyond, will get promoted, over someone who does the bare minimum and creates an issue over something this trivial. Maybe my experience is different to yours, but I got promoted to the most senior position in my trade after being with the company for less than two years. I am now senior to people who have been in the job ten or more years, but who won't put themselves out one inch. People like that are usually more than willing to take from the company, any chance they get. You do it your way, and I'll do it mine, because my way has worked out very well for me.
@@calibrazxr750 You're kidding yourself. You could poll random people and find out that that isn't the reality of the masses.

@ynmonroe as I said, experiences vary. At my company, my willingness to go the extra mile got me promoted, ahead of much more experienced candidates, and I earn around €600 a month more than them now, and get a company car. So it was certainly worth it in the long run. That is my personal experience, how that matches up to yours or that of anyone else you might know is irrelevant and of no interest to me.

@@calibrazxr750 Yeah, Loe Whaley did a skit on that with a "co-worker."

HR said if they gave us donuts then it's a free breakfast so they don't have to pay us. ☹
Do you normally eat donuts for breakfast I know I don't
Nope. If its mandatory or expected for an employee to be there, then its payable.

So true! That or a pizza lunch! Worked in an office for years!
I almost don't care that I'm seeing repeat vids from different channels
Almost.
