My favorite were the old ladies asking what would happen if they murdered me on the spot and whether I’d go to heaven or not. Lady, I’ll gladly pull the trigger if you had the gun to free me of this hell on earth and being in front of you for a second longer.

I’ve been working at a new job recently. I always come in a few minutes before starting time, and my boss has been giving me an attitude about it. Like start time is 7 am and I show up at 6:55, and as I drive up he rolls his eyes and shouts “here comes last-minute pencilhands!”

The other day he took me aside and said “look pencilhands, in my mind, if I’m not 15 minutes early, im late. I want to see you start showing up early. Do we need to give you a shift that starts later so you can be early?”

I just replied “uhh what? If you want me to show up earlier why not make my shift start earlier? How does that make any sense?”

He just mumbled something about “if you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time your late, and if you’re late that’s unacceptable” and walked away saying something about “this is a team, we work hard and we play hard.”

Later that day HR informed me I had been given a formal write up.

Sounds like something you could ride all the way to the Supreme Court, OP.

When I worked at a liquor store I once had a guy who asked me if I was gonna be on the side of the lord in the coming civil war. It was super weird. I later found out he’s a registered sex offender.

Essentially he is asking you to work 15 minutes before your shift. If you are hourly you can have a chat with HR about it and they can shut it down quickly because the company can get in trouble. Or you can start clocking in or add 15 minutes to your timesheets or leave 15 min early.


No one believes in the 15 minutes early on time BS, i am always 1-3 minutes late on every meeting as a consultant.

Is it just me -- a person who was not raised religious & is not currently religious -- or is 10% a very low percentage to be giving God? :raise:

It's fashionable to be half an hour late for a reason.

Point out to any boss how utterly unfashionable they're being for asking you to come in early. No wonder they're never invited anywhere in polite society.

Would the easiest way for HR to shut it down be to find some reason to have you fired? Seems easier to cut the single employee advocating for themselves than to try and shift the entire perspective of management on the idea of wage theft.

It sure is.
I had an NCO that pulled the "if you aren't 15 minutes early you are late" crap. Fine, whatever; it's the military and stupid poo poo is the norm.
He then started punishing people for not being 10 minutes early to being 15 minutes early for the same reason. That one blew my mind.

The Captain tells the XO he wants an all-hands call at 10:00.

The XO tells the Divos to have everyone ready by 9:45.

The Divos tell their Chiefs to have people lined up by 9:30.

The Chiefs tell their LPOs that everyone needs to be there by 9:15.

You end up standing in formation for a loving hour just so the Captain can spend 3 minutes wishing you a nice weekend.

When I was working in China, we had to sign in with our finger prints so the management knew when everyone arrived in the office, and then sign out so they knew when we left. Our working time was 09:30 am - 6:30pm. I was, and still am, in the habot of getting up early, so I would often be in the office at 8 am or early. This was fine since I was the only one there so early, and the internet + VPN in the office was much better than at home so I just spent the time shitposting here, checking social media (I know I know) or watching youtube. But I always made sure to leave at time.

During my yearly review one time, my manager told me: "It's good that you come early, but you also leave on time every day". I don't remember what I replied, but it wasn't like they were paying us for overtime or anything. I quit that job soon after.
