Obligatory “title, but.” I received a disciplinary action for not finishing a task that I spent my entire shift working on. The task is reliant on machinery which takes a set amount of time to do certain things. I work from 1-10 pm and had to do a task which was two segments repeated a few times. Essentially, stage 1 is an hour long process and stage 2 is a 45 minute process. The task had to be repeated 6 times. 1 1/2 hours of my shift are for breaks and lunch. I was able to repeat the process 5 times, but could not complete the last repetition due to time and not being allowed overtime. For context, the task was glorified trash removal, and not centrally important to my actual job. Apologies for vagueness, I'm escalating the issue to my boss' boss and don't want to say anything that might get me in trouble and just needed to rant. I'll probably post an update for anyone interested.
