Chewed out today for helping

I work at a dog daycare, and today I happened to have a lot of down time as I really only had work every other hour/hour and a half. So I figured I would hang out up front and “run dogs” – essentially either putting dogs that came in into the play yards, or grabbing the dogs who's parents came to pick them up. Turns out the owner of the business was watching our cameras, and doesn't want people “hanging out up front doing nothing” or running dogs when they aren't scheduled as a runner.

We also have TVs in all of the yards to communicate with the yard counselors which dogs need to be sent out to go home, but today they were out of commission. So instead we have to personally run out, figure out which yard the dog is in, and grab them ourselves. I had every intention of sticking around to help with that, as there was no runner scheduled, but instead I just went home early when I was done my shit.

Guess I'll just never take initiative at work and twiddle my thumbs when I have down time.
