[quote name='ApneaBlue' date='Sep 8 2005, 03:54 PM']Well........I've been at my job 6.5 years and I automatically get stock in the company! And I stroll in at 9 in the morning when everyone else gets here at 6 & 7. Actually, I expect them to be calling me on this any day now.

We don't really have "stock," or a "company."

Yeah, we don't have time clocks. Grant is the manager, over Ryan, who is the supervisor. It's basically Ryan's job to snitch on us.
I was told over and over that I needed to be here around 8AM, and a few minutes was no big deal. So here I am, going along thinking I'm doing great, not even thinking about if I've been late because it's always right at or within a few minutes of 8AM, if not earlier. Then yesterday I get this call from Grant and he wants me in his office. I thought I was going to be praised for completing my cross-training and becoming the only person in the group trained on all the systems and on two other seperate jobs. Turns out I was getting written up for something I didn't even think about!
It's ok though.. it's not like it's a huge deal at this point. And the warning only sits in my personnel record for 6 months.

The point is, my supervisor said that I could come in 'around 8' and then writes me up for being late, then can't tell me when the infractions occured!
STFU Tony!

The good think about where I work, Luis (RIP) always used to say. If your late 30 minutes, then you should stay back 30 minutes. He always understood cause you can't control peak traffic and if there's an accident then there's nothing you can do and that, it's not your fault.
He only would say something, if you did it too many times. He was a good boss.

my boss is great. hope he doesnt find out im almost always late....
it does suck that if hes supposed to be supervising all of yous and he accuses you of being late he shouldve had proof of the instances you were late and the last time he spoke to you and told you to not be late and such. i dunno what kinda "relationship" you have with your superiors but if its really that big a deal id talk to the guy that actually gave you the verbal warning and bypass the other *****...
then if keeping your job is important, id try to set up a meeting maybe once a month for the next few months with both your superiors to discuss how youve improved on your tardiness or if tehres any other things that they feel you should work on, that way all 3 of you are on the same page.

I've had jobs where I could roll in 30 minutes later and no one would care, and other jobs if you were 1 minute late you got an ear full. Some people are a little more high strung than others, and I think thats what it comes down to. Because what easy going person is gona care about a few minutes here or there?
