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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

That's kinda ridiculous, sounds like the only way to avoid screwing yourself over is to bring something yourself.

Sounds like Walmart. This has happened to my friends who worked there.

How hard is it to follow the rules? At my job you get a 30min lunch break if you work more than 5 hours in a shift. If you clock out at 2pm then clock back in at 2:30. If you clock in too early then it's a violation. They have to give you a break by law & they're trying to stay out of trouble. Coming back late isn't acceptable. I pack a lunch because it's hard to go out for lunch & still have time to eat.

Companies dont have to give breaks and lunch depends on state guidelines and how long your shift is. That is a common misconception.

In Washington it's the law to allow a 15 minute meal break if the employees work for over 5 hours. My towns Dairy Queens closed because the owner was making teens work over 40 hours a week and with no breaks.

If you clock back in early, then it looks they didn't give you a legal length break. The company gets in trouble for that.

Stick up for yourself & tell your boss that's bullcrap!

oh yes talk back to the person who permits you to bring food to your home. Some people don't understand that you don't **** with those who have authority over you.

It's not bullcrap. Employers are required BY LAW to give the employees a break when x amount of hours are worked, so clocking in early, causes your employer to break the law.

Whenever I go to costco I see a bunch of employees standing by their clocking machine just waiting for the time to change to the right time.

At my work, we've had a new thing where the time limit is 30 mintues EXACTLY. Clock out and clock back in exactly a half an hour later. For hour lunches, it's also exact. The hard part is remembering when you clocked off to the second.

Get a lawyer.
ksks1234 33
Why? Is the lawyer going to clock in and out for them? That seems like an expensive way to have lunch.
