My best friend has a manager who wants 8 hours per day accounted for toward case files (sorry for being vague).
No saying you had admin or training or meetings. You still need 8 hours on case work, and there's no OT or credit hours.
Last week, she had enough and started questioning everything. This led her manager to call her in for a meeting to talk about her ongoing “timekeeping issues.”
An hour before the meeting, my friend said, “I would like to postpone because I'd like a union rep to be present.” The boss said no; they'd hold the meeting and then can meet later with the union rep if they want.
Now, that's what I call a MASSIVE FUCKUP.
My friend sent me a draft of the grievance she was going to submit to her manager, which would also go to the union. It noted a pattern of Labor Law violations that included her unknowingly starting the day before her actual first day (unpaid), disallowance of accounting for training or admin duties as part of the normal workday, and the refusal to wait until a union rep was available to be present.
She sent me all the info, but is disjointed. When I was done, it was a work of art.
I will be very surprised if this doesn't lead to the manager's retirement, especially because the unpaid day involved reviewing sensitive client data, which means that client information was, theoretically, exposed to an unauthorized individual.
