Have you clocked in yet? How else would we know you really are profit generating
My job recently abandoned clocking in. Also, I don’t have to generate a profit for the union, so 🤷 Feels much more free than before where every single minute was counted
I like believe the clock system does not exist to micro manage me but it exists so I can use my collected overtime for a day of
That’s good if you can do that but unfortunately that’s how many of my coworkers ended up with 500 hours of overtime lol. Some of them now have to work 4/5 at 5/5 pay for the next two years to compensate.
5 o’clock is still 5 o’clock but I travel with public transport so I tend to be a bit early and eventually that will add up to a day or compensation for when the train does not drive
What is public transportation like?
Update on public transportation: Today once again my train was cancelled because it broke this caused the next train to also get cancelled and the next train I was able to take to still come on time for work had a 10 minute delay this caused me to miss my bus and forced me to wait 30 minutes at the bus station in the rain
Are there not station covers at bus stations?
Yeah but I wanted my story to sound extra sad so I left it out
Pretty good delays are a problem though they are not big 5 minutes most of the time I used to go to school to a nearby town and a different train to that area left almost every 10 minutes work is a different town though. Yesterday there was some unexpected railway construction so I get to go with the bus and showed up and hour later because of that
Of course, my job IS to handle the machine and overview the shifts.
What do you do when your fellow proletariat does not clock in?
I write them in manually of course, if it’s justified. 👍🏻
So no one is ever late to a shift?
