My already soul-sucking job that has me carving out 9 hours a day just announced that going forward we’re supposed to be dedicating an extra half hour and that this will be rigorously enforced with a clock-in/clock-out system (we didn’t have one before), and I’m livid. Naturally, there’s no mention of a pay increase or any such because apparently “this is what we should’ve been doing all along”, even though we’re paid peanuts and there’s next to nothing by way of incentives or anything of the sort.

I worked my way up here precisely so I wouldn’t have to be subject to this sort of Big Brother scrutiny and this is just beyond annoying.

    You know what I’m gonna say.

    Rule5: Many problems look much better as they recede in the rearview.

    It’s resumé time.

    But let me say that I fill TWO time sheets each week. It’s not a punch clock because sir, this isn’t a Wendy’s, but it’s two time sheets and the numbers don’t match because #management.

    My buddy at the next desk fills three. Same reasons but worse

    Before you ditch the current hellhole for another, decide objectively what you need and how close this place is to it.

        zero time sheeting and I think at this point if anyone asked me to I’d probably tell them to shove it

        Rule1: always, always, charge 'em until ya like 'em.

        If they mandate timesheets, the likability goes down and they’ll need to offset that. … by a lot.
