Today, I got written up at work for clocking back in from lunch early. Yesterday I got a verbal warning for coming back late. I'm scared to go to lunch at all now. FML

Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

Today, I got written up at work over false accusations that I didn't do some safety tasks. The same tasks that were done before I had even arrived. FML

Today, I got a warning for not covering a shift, on my day off, for someone who didn't want to go to work. Apparently the next time I “do something wrong", I'll either get warned again or fired, whichever they feel like doing. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML

Today, I worked security by myself in an office, which meant I had to eat at the desk and wasn't allowed to leave. I got written up for my husband dropping off my lunch. FML

Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML

Try and be right on time is the only advice I can offer.

Honestly, it is your responsibility as an adult to make sure you clock in and out on time.

Getting in trouble for being early and then for being late? Oh no! Whatever shall you do? I guess there's only one thing left to try... But... No, no.. You couldn't possibly... Too risky... But maybe.... Well... Maybe you could try... Being ON TIME? :P

This actually depends on the time-frame. Without a little bit more specific info on whether "late" and "early" means 5 minutes or 20 minutes...

You're screwed no matter what if you're in the two minute window and they're still mad. IF they're pissy about that then **** em! I don't respect that type of BS and neither should you. Just start looking for a new gig because if you're the only one getting yelled at then they're gearing up to fire you anyway. If they ask you to sign that little form that says you agree that you made a mistake don't sign it. Bottomline find a new job and just stop showing up and see if they notice in two weeks.
