I have to chuckle when I see posts ending with the boss saying, You’re still coming in right?
That being said, here is my story pertaining to “You’re still coming in right?
I was hired as the assistant manager – salaried position at first then corporate decided it should be hourly.
There were three key holders (opening and closing duties) the manager, a full timer and myself.
The manager loved to golf ,so the full timer or myself usually had closing duties and on the weekends we had both opening and closing duties as he did not work weekends.
The full timer had a bit of a problem with alcohol and lost his drivers license, and the corporate policy was you could not be a key holder with out a drivers license.
The manager was not about to give up his weekends nor was he willing to come in to open the store and then let the full timer work the store and then come in to close. That duty fell to me when I supposedly had the weekend off.
I wasn’t happy about it, but then I was punching the clock so I’d come in on my weekend off punch in do the opening of the store than turn it over to the full timer and punch out. Come back at closing, punch in and do the store close.
Than on a Friday I was told I was getting my review, but it turned out that I was being written up for abusing overtime.
I sat there a little stunned at I was getting reamed out and that I needed to sign the write up. I told him that I would so after I wrote up a response to be included to included with the write-up, then reached over to the store computer, brought up my hours for the week and saw that I was just slightly over the 40 hour limit, so I said that I needed to punch out and head home.
As I was headed for the door the manager said, “You’re coming tomorrow to open, Right?”
I turned and looked at him and replied, “What part of the conversation that we just had didn’t you understand?
No I will not becoming in to open tomorrow so you best adjust your Tee time, and you best be looking real hard at my schedule, because I will not be putting in any paid or unpaid overtime.”
