I work for a medical equipment manufacturing company in rural Kansas. We have a “parent plant” in Kansas City, MO that is union; we are not.
When I got hired on, I agreed to work 2pm to 10:30pm Monday-Thursday, and 11am-7:30pm on Friday, with some overtime being required. Now, over 6 months later, I’m working 2pm to 12:30am Monday-Thursday, with an 8 hour shift on Friday. I got verbal permission from my supervisor several months ago to only work my 8hr shift. I did more than 8 hours almost every night even with his permission, yet I still got a write-up for “missing time” even though I worked my scheduled shift, and he had given me permission.
Fast-forward to this week. It’s so incredibly hot, (triple-digits in the afternoons), and still working 10hr shifts. In our plant, our day-shift counterparts typically leave at 8hrs, some will stay until the 9 or 10 if they have work, but lately they haven’t and they left early yesterday.
Should I report this? Night shift works 10s or we get written up or fired, but day shift works whatever hours they want to without seemingly any repercussion.
