  • does anyone elses boss act like this over literally two mins of time

  • Dariaskehl So, make your boss's priority your imperative. Stand up and walk out precisely on the second. Eventually, (rapidly, really...) you'll be asked why. "On Mar 31, you make it implicitly clear how important timeliness is to you when you accused me of theft of company resources. As you have made so clear, it would be careless at best were I to obligate the company into unplanned overtime expenses. " And keep notes. Writes legibly, by hand, on paper; with dates.

  •  was a complete pushover for most of my life

  • puppet_master34 Years ago in a past role I used to get in early often due to train times and if I did I'd start early as I didn't mind. Then came the day I was 5mins late due to the train as I was still adjusting to the new train schedules from a house move and I got told off. So from that day on I never started early and if I did arrive early I'd just sit in the kitchen until it was 8.30am on the dot.

  • _Flavor_Dave_ Had an operations manager try this on me and other programming staff. We usually came in late after working well past 5 the previous evening helping with issues. It was an informal comp time arrangement that never equaled the time we had spent on extra work, but helped us regain some time back so we didn't get behind on stuff outside of work. Started leaving right at 5pm after getting a 'talking to'. CEO came to us within the week and set things straight.

  • 30am was a problem, she said I would need to file a reasonable accommodation for that.

  • GreyerGrey The concept of "clocking in" in an office... uh no. No thank you.

    An old-school punch clock, where employees punched in on their time cards.

  • ohlaph Wait until he's late one day and start emailing everyone looking for him. Do that any time he's late. Loop in his boss, directors, everyone. See how important two minutes are.

  • 02, you didn't steal a d In thing and your boss can kick rocks. Downside is that it leaves a paper trail of a time when you were tardy. Others here are right, stop staying late, unless you log that, too and collect pay OT for the extra minutes
