Today, my boss threatened to fire me for showing up at work early. His reasoning is that it looks bad when his workers show up before dawn and work later than he does. He assigned me these hours specifically to accommodate one of our clients. FML

OP here. I normally get to work before dawn; so he was just being a dick. I work as a home care provider for a little old lady with severe mental issues, who's husband/primary care provider works early mornings, as he owns his own lawn care business and where I live the heat is oppressive by noon. However, today he had to work late to make up contracted appointments he'd missed last week because of equipment problems; and for once cleared the hour change via the office. Hence, jackhole supervisor acting a fool. As for finding a new job; I plan to finish this one then move on; her husband is retiring in less then a year and she is extremely picky about care givers. I'm one of two that has lasted more then three weeks; and I refuse to put her and her family through finding a new provider like that.

That I what you would call an idiot and I wouldn't Stand for his stupidity. He can't fire you for showing up early , especially since the moron assigned you those hours. Labor relations is where it's at for idiot employers.

"Early" means to clock in before your assigned hours. If you are there on schedule, which is before he arrives on shift, you are not "early." As in you are on time for hours assigned to you. As in you are a model employee. As in unfair firing if you are fired.

Your boss is an idiot. I hope you're not the only employee with a brain in your head.

It also looks bad if the boss can't remember what he told his own employees.

Could be worse, he could just take credit for all the work you are doing.

Your boss's mindset is a bit off...that's actually a good way to move up the ladder...if you are fired keep it up...

Honestly remind him and ask him what he would like you to do about the client? It is all about the client. One thing or the other will have to change. Either you won't be getting up as early and get to sleep in, or he'll be less of a dick wad because he obviously doesn't want to accommodate the client's needs himself. It's a win-win for you (for now).

Sounds like a crummy and lazy boss.
