Today, my boss at my new job yelled at me for being 15 minutes early to work. Last week he yelled at me for being late for my shift when I arrived 5 minutes early. He's considering this my final warning before I'm fired. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told by my boss if I was late one more time he fired me. I replied, "Can I quit then if that's the case." He then said no, and gave me more shifts. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. 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, my boss told me that my attitude to work is awesome and that he'd follow my example of coming in half-an-hour early every day from now on. I relish those 30 minutes as the only time I can get work done without him constantly interrupting me. So much for that. FML
Today, it was my first day on a £600 a week job. I was fired for being 10 minutes late. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for not finishing my work on time. Yesterday, she cut an hour from my schedule every day until further notice. 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 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, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML

5 minutes before work time, you're late. 15 minutes before work time, you're early. You OBVIOUSLY need to come in 10 minutes before work time to be right on time. Logic and all. But seriously, if your boss is like that, I'd just start job searching now.

Sounds like he doesn't know at what time you're suppose to go in...might want to double check with him before he (wrongfully) fires you. It'd be even better if you can get it in writing/email so you have proof.

I hope you have to clock in somehow for your sake. Print a log for yourself and a wrongful termination lawsuit when he fires you so he can hire his girlfriend.

Well if he does, you sue for wrongful terminating and subpoena the punch clock and your own schedule.

I know it's a tough job climate, but I'd start looking for a new job right away. Put in as many applications as possible. Your boss sounds kinda crazy.

I guess you're from USA? Otherwise, contact your union.

We have unions in the USA. Not for every job, but we do have them.

If I were you, I would keep pictures of when I clock in. If he fires you, you'll have proof and fight it.

Curious about your boss' nationality. Not to generalize, but I supervise several employees from a certain Caribbean nation with a very poor sense of time. "15 minutes is not late!" they scream, when they live in the building.

Are you clocking in on the time clock early? I don't know about the late part, but sometimes if you're too early on the time clock you can get your managers in trouble with corporate.
