A few months ago I was involved in a meeting that went much to the tune of, “working should be your main priority.” This, of course, was immediately followed the next week by, “you guys are working way too much. Your time clocks are being capped and if you try to clock in early or out late you need to talk to HR.” While also belittling the amount of work some people do, as apparently there’s “no reason.” It should take that long.
Whatever. Annoying, but no biggie, right?
Wrong.
Because my pay keeps getting messed up. Any events we work aren’t accounted for by the allotted time clock hours. I have to email HR constantly. They also keep messing up my hours. Normally, I watch like a hawk to make sure I get paid correctly.
They’ve tried to give another coworker a bunch of my over time hours because the email was somehow misconstrued, and these last few weeks I’ve been out of the office.
I got married and put in for PTO. I didn’t assume I’d get it since I’ve only worked at this company for maybe five months, but I at least worked a few days in the period before I left.
Did not get paid a dime because I haven’t had the opportunity to email them, I guess.
I understand everyone in the company is spread thin, but I just can’t keep this up. It’s confusing and stupid. I always come in early so I can get stuff done or else my boss gets cranky. That’s unpaid work bc it’s not allotted by hr or the higher ups. If I don’t do it, my boss gets grumpy and makes my day hell.
What even is the point?
