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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Eat lunch at your desk maybe?

Well of course if you come back late you'll hear about it. Early depends on how early you show up because too early isn't good. Just come back as close to on time as possible or even on time.

Use a phone timer to alarm you as soon as your lunch break time is up. I use it all the time.

Sorry, as a former manager in fast food I have to say you deserved it. You cannot clock in early and you cannot clock in late. Mangers are under pressure from higher ups about labor numbers. For me I had to make sure labor costs were under 20% of net profits for the day and no one can work more than 130 hrs a month. For a store that only make 1500 a day (very low considering it was one of the larger franchises) with near random/awkward busy periods that's hella difficult. I had to have a certain amount of people working, give them enough hours that it was legal, but don't let them work too much. D: Don't clock in before your break is up and be back exactly when your break is over. There some serious meanies in the upper levels that will have your manager's jobs if they don't make good numbers so they can be a bit harsh about clock in/out times. I hated doing this but I also needed the job. Thank god I'm out of that :P Heads up for anyone heading into minimum wage jobs!

I set alarms on my phone to make sure I don't go too long.

Yep...I remember getting in trouble like that. Go to school then get a degree and a job where you don't have to watch the clock as much.
