So I was just given a talking to by my assistant supervisor that I leave 1 minute early everyday to go home and gave a big speil on how we are contracted to give 8 hours a day yada yada. Conversation started with, how would you approach someone that is leaving early everyday? I soon realized he was directing the question at me and said well I would ask them if their watch is on the correct time. He then asked me, hey, is your watch on the correct time and then proceeded to say I cannot leave the parking lot until the exact time my shift ends.
This is one of the many reasons I left my previous employer, the micromanaging bullshit like this just drives me batshit crazy, especially when I always get to any job I ever had 30 minutes prior to start, even sometimes finding myself starting my job before my shift… yeah, that's my bad but I don't know any different.
Anyways, what would you guys have said if you were told this? I need some clever comebacks to throw in their face if I'm ever pulled aside again for “leaving early”.
