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

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

I know how you feel. I've been at my job two and a half months and I'm already looking to quit.

Let this be motivation to move up to a better job where they aren't Nazis.

If I'm honest I find this quite odd.. At my work we're encouraged to clock in early, my work like the saying: "to be on time is to be late and to be late is unacceptable". Of course everywhere is different. As everyone else has said, try to clock in on time, if not, it's probably better to be early than late. :)

Sounds like your boss is a communist tyrant. Maybe he needs to move to Russia or something.

I don't think you know what communism is.

OP could just not come back at all. not recommended, but an option nonetheless.

How hard is it to remember what time you clocked out, and clock in at the exact right time? I do it every day... We get written up for clocking in a minute early too, but I'm betting for a whole different reason than you do. If we clock in early, it automatically puts 15 minutes of overtime on our time card.

actually, if you're over 18 you're not required to get a break. I researched it when I thought I was getting screwed. turns out I wasn't, they didn't have to give me a break.

Where do you live coz I can't think of anywhere that not allowing breaks isn't illegal.

Someone obviously doesn't want to pay you for the several extra seconds.

this is one moment where I'm thankful that I work at the YMCA and don't have to clock in/out for lunch. getting in trouble for being late I understand, but for voluntarily coming back early its ridiculous.

YDI, if you can't follow simple rules like that then that's your problem. If all of my coworkers and myself can clock in and out on time then you should be able to as well.
