I had a terrible temp job in an office full of temps. (You don’t have to give temps health insurance, and this company looooooved that.) We had to sign into the system that clocks us in by 8am sharp every morning. If you logged in after 8am, you would get written up and have to get your manager to sign a form where you explain your reason for being late. A dream job, right?
One morning, I got stuck waiting at the elevator banks in the lobby because there was a huge crowd. Once I finally got to the 10th floor, I had to RUN to my desk to sign in. Alas, my official clock-in time was 8:00:02am. Two whole seconds late, and I was written up. Total BS. I was quite bitter about the whole situation, so in the “reason” section of the form my manager had to sign, I just wrote, “I woke up two seconds late.”
F that place, seriously. It’s the only job I’ve ever actually quit.
