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.

Your boss is a piece of...well you know. You should get that stuff in writing, if he fires you, it's lawsuit time.

I've been here. Got threatened for working 7:30am-7:30pm because the OT wasn't "approved" after they fired my co-worker, made me take on her responsibilities, told me to come in to open (at 7:30) and said nothing about leaving earlier since I always closed. Then I got the whole "You can't have lunch until the last patient leaves, but you have to be at your post by 2pm no matter what" This ended up in 7:30am-7:30pm 5 min lunches, no breaks, and them refusing to pay "unapproved OT" They still owe me over 100hrs of that OT worked.
