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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. 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 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, 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 got yelled at for calling out for mandated overtime at work. They told me if I don't switch to another day I will get suspended. 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
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML

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

Maybe bring your own lunch?

Either way they would have to clock out, how would bringing their own lunch solve anything?

Not having to leave the premises, order something, pay, and then eat, I think is how they thought it might help.

Maybe just clock out and in on time so that you aren't getting paid to eat lunch or getting your employers in trouble for technical violations of labour laws? YFDI

No. Probably has a very limited payroll. Wants to pay everybody for exactly 8 hours a day and is very strict. Just have to come back a few minutes early and clock in right on time.

Your boss can get into trouble if you come back early, because if your company got audited you could claim your boss made you cut your break short(they have to give you a certain amount of time for break.)

Sadly, that is probably the only way to make your boss happy. On that note you should probably show up about one to two minutes early and just clock in as soon as it is exactly time to clock in.

Time to brown bag it...every single day. FYL, my friend.

He doesn't have to brown bag, just show up early, but clock in on exact time. It's not rocket science, I have faith op will figure it out.

@5, bringing their own lunch will prevent them from being dependent on traffic or lunch hour crowds.
glabberfasted 16
Traffic isn't the problem. The problem is OP doesn't know how to clock in on time. They got written up for clocking in early, that had nothing to do with traffic.
crazytwinsmom 25
But OP got a verbal warning before for coming back late, that could be due to traffic.
REALAfroninga 11
@72 Yes, and so could big foot... All the OP tells us is that he tried to be early so he wouldn't get yelled at, but he should have just showed up, and waited for exact time to clock in.

Maybe you could synchronize your watch to the clock...like spies or burglars always do. :-)

You'll also get in trouble if you don't take your lunch break at all. Just clock back in when you're suppose to. If you get back early, wait until it's time. Set your alarm on your phone if it'll help keep track of time.

....or u can just be on time, not early not late just on time

one bowl too small, other bowl too big, last one just right. Goldilocks makes perfect sense in this scenario.

Gandalf works too. "A wizard is never late! He arrives precisely when he means to!"

Tell them to average it out then you will have been on time both days!
