RoboBoogie posted:No one believes in the 15 minutes early on time BS, i am always 1-3 minutes late on every meeting as a consultant. But the 15-minutes thing is a good habit when used as a tool for being on time to something where punctuality is really important. I had no idea until this thread that people can be dumb enough to think that being 15 minutes early is the end goal instead of just a helpful habit.

You might want to reread all the posts where it is, in fact, the stated end goal. Literally my boss considered "on time" to be half an hour early to do unpaid work. "Early" was 6-7am. Punctuality in life is important and good, I despise being late, but that is not at all what people are talking about lol

Does it count if your manager texts you hours before you shift and asks what your weekend plans are? Because I get a lot of notifications. And if I see one from him I think like, I should say something relevant like, I'm going to go pick strawberries and eat a lot of them. I feel like this is exploitative in some way.

If it's important to be ready to go on the hour then sure, I could see getting there a little early to put my things away and get an update from the crew. Should that take more than 5 minutes? I had a boss tell me I needed to be there 15 minutes early, but I just ignored him because I didn't need to be. A security job demanded everyone be 15 mins early to do pass ons with the previous shift, which would end at the hour, unpaid. Then I noticed none of the managers would ever arrive for the passons, and in fact would arrive 15 mins after the hour to then get caught up and disrespect the supervisors. I instead would show up at 5 to, and take over from the person in the comm office. They just went straight home and I didn't have to fiddlefuck around with their group huddle horseshit. gently caress the bosses, pay me.

Yeah, if starting on the hour is super crucial for whatever reason, pay should start on the quarter-to. You know it’s a way to get unpaid labor out of workers because this doesn’t happen at jobs where the employees have a bit more leverage. Ask any dev if their morning stand-up meeting is unpaid and they’ll assume you’re joking.

Dumbass would drop her off at 5 for her job, come eat breakfast and read the paper in the break room, then clock in at 7. He’d work until 3, then sit in the break room again until it was time to pick wifey up at work again.

His manager told him he couldn't do that any more, so then he started coming in, parking, and sitting in his car for at least an hour before work. When his manager asked why he did it he just said he "hated his wife".

Assert your dominance over your manager by aggressively mounting and humping him during the next staff meeting. When everyone else sees you dry humping away as he flails beneath you then you have become the new alpha of the pack

Manager here in tech - I tell my team to show up whenever, as long as they get their poo poo done on time and are at least semi-available to message during “normal work hours”. We’re extremely efficient. Though about half of our leadership team falls into the stereotypical lovely American Manager stereotype. I can tell you they’re mostly like that because they have horrifically low self-esteem and dislike being home with their families. So they try to compensate by getting all weird and militaristic in whatever way they can manage. The things that come out while they get drunk during teambuilding activities.

I can suck up not getting paid for the commute (even though I pay about $5 a day for the privilege due to tunnel tolls. non-tax reimbursable, btw). But, if I get there and it takes me like 10-15 minutes to find a parking spot? I claim that poo poo. I work on a compound with around 5k people, so it can be rough sometimes. But, I'm also a gov't civilian with a boss that doesn't really give a poo poo. So, it works out. It was worse when I was in the Navy and worked at Norfolk Naval Station, the largest navy installation globally. Where you'd end up having to park like a mile, mile and a half away sometimes. Then go on deployment for X months, just to come back to pretend to know where the gently caress you parked your car.

My boss told me if I come in early and work then I get paid the moment I start, no bullshit. I can clock in, restock the Sprinters, scrub the hepa filters, go fuel em up and test the compressors. I can drag that out for a couple hours before or after work. I'm not much for working when I don't have to, but it's cool to know there's always overtime as long as I can find something useful to do. Each thing done needs a report files with pics, so there's no need to "prove" anything, it's right there.

When I was union my manager tried to pull that poo poo where your pc needs to be booted with all programs launched by 8, so why don't you come in early just to be prepared. We could clock in 3 minutes early at most. The computers at the time were total poo poo. It was met with crickets when someone asked if people could be scheduled at 745. Anyways the union shut that poo poo down real quick when they tried to discipline lol
