Today, I decided to show up early for work and really try to get off my manager's shit-list. On my way to work, my manager called to bitch me out for already being 30 minutes late. Yeah, I forgot about Daylight Savings Time. FML

You are far from the only person who forgot to change their clocks last night.

This happened to a coworker of mine yesterday. She's in the same situation as you. Don't worry OP.

This makes zero sense. This is just more proof that people make up stories on here! You would have been an hour and a half early to work cuz we set the clocks forward not backwards. Ugh. Scums

No, when the clocks go forward you lose an hour. If you normally go to work at 9 and you didn't change your clock (and somehow didn't see a cell phone?) you would go to work when you think it is 9 but it would actually be 10. You would be an hour late.

Wrong! If your clock says 6 am but it is really 7 am and you arrive at 6:30 am by your clock to be early for a 7 am start time you are a half an hour late.

I honestly can't even think of how someone could not know about daylight savings time if they have a cell phone. Now if you don't use your phone as your alarm, I can see how you might wake up an hour late and then freak out and have to rush to get to work on time (if you're working on Sunday as OP presumably was--by Monday there is no excuse!). But I don't know how you could get to the point of "on my way to work" without having ever glanced at a phone and realized your mistake.

Sometimes I don't bother turning my phone on until my lunch break... not everyone is completely dependent on their phone...

Usually if they are so quick so accuse you of cheating it's because they have a guilty conscience. Maybe he's the one cheating??

Just another reason why we should get rid of daylight savings time.

But. We sprung foreward, so if you were an hour behind, you should've gotten to work an hour and a half early.
