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.

sounds like a micro- manager...riding your butt for no good reason. pull them aside and have a conversation about this, if they give you a hard time then they just have their head up there arse! # powertripping!

Just do it on time and you'll be fine

A lot of companies will reprimand you for this. Just be on time. It's not that difficult.

Sounds like you work at Captel. I had that too when I worked there.

Way back in the day, I was a manager at a grocery store. Company policy called for clocking out for at least 30 minutes for lunch for shifts longer than 5 hours. It was all computerized, and one of my jobs was to monitor it and make corrections, if needed. There was a dairy manager who would constantly take 20-25 minute lunches, no matter how many he times he was told to clock out for 30. I worked a different shift, so I rarely saw him. The store manager eventually wrote him up for it, and it stopped. Late a few minutes back? Who cares?

Maybe you should just try being in time...

You get punished for making a shorter brake? How messed up is this? In Germany employment law requires a 30-minute break for 8 hours of work. And since I am a nurse my break often just does not happen. Does that mean I am a bad employee? Luchbreak-facism, wow...

Try clocking in RIGHT when the time signals the given amount (not too early or late, right on spot) and see what happens.
