Should I just leave “early”

I've been issued a warning letter a few weeks ago, due to my “time management” failed, because I didn't show up and clock in “on time” which is half an hour before my work starts. My contract stated that my Saturday work time is 9-4, but I have been working from 730-7 on Saturday previously. Should I just leave early, as in leaving at 4?

Activision Blizzard confess that they abuse worker’s passion

In the following article, https://www.activisionblizzard.com/newsroom/2022/05/king-diversity-space-tool, Activion-Blizzard seems to admit that they abuse worker's passion by using tool made by engineers in their free time: ​ According to King Globalization Project Manager Jacqueline Chomatas, once MIT handed over the basic software, the team at King spent the last few years honing and developing it, mostly as a volunteer effort. People were spending their off-hours working on the tool, simply because they believed in its potential so much. The article also is an obvious PR stunt to try to wash out the fact that there's been multiple allegation of an toxic working environment mired with sexism and discriminatory practices. Especially following the last few weeks about their maneuvering personal around to deny them unions.

Employee near tears

Hi guys. I'm not sure if this will belong here. It's not really about a boss, but how employees are treated by customers/public. I called to make a dentist appointment about 3 months ago, late Feb I think. The lady on the phone was hesitant and said the absolute soonest they had was second week in May. I was like, well ok, let's do May then. She said really?? I told her yeah that's fine if that's what you'll have. I could hear her voice almost crying. She said omg thank you. She told me that everyone that had called for an appointment got really angry, even nasty, with her because they were so booked out. She kept saying thank you for being so kind about this. No one else has been. We went through days and times because I wanted to schedule my husband and I together, but that…
