Just took a new position and my boss pulled me into the office after my first month. He noticed I was punching out at 5 everyday and said other employees can see me leaving that time everyday and have said something. He said it doesn’t look good for me to be punching out at 5 on the dot. I’ve been really efficient in getting my work done and helping others when I’ve had down time. My commute time increased by 40 mins each way, if I wait til 5:30 or 6 my commute will be over an hour. I also get in early each day but I guess that doesn’t matter.
Im really bummed because I took a pay cut for this position and people in the office are angling to get me fired already.
