I Need to Rant
I am a salaried employee, but my "shift" is technically 8:45 to 5:15.
I RARELY take lunch unless I need to run to the bank or something. (my boss had remarks about me taking a 30 min lunch daily so I stopped doing that long ago)
I have not left before 5:30 in ages. I usually leave at more like 6. (my boss used to comment that I "act like an hourly employee" when I would leave at 5:15 every day so I stopped doing that)
I am not usually late but yesterday I was 15 mins late due to traffic and this morning I was 30 mins late due to traffic and needing to scrape all the ice off my car. I also have to drop my daughter off at school in the morning, so I am not able to leave any earlier.
My boss had the nerve to walk in here and tell me today, with quite the attitude, that I need to "watch my time" because I was late yesterday and today. All I could muster up to say was "Sorry", but here's what I actually wanted to say:
Dude, I am salary and should not even have a "shift". I do not punch a clock. I do not get paid overtime and I put in at least 45 hours a week, even though I am paid based on 40 hours of work. I have not gotten a raise in two years and I have been with the company for thirteen. I have absorbed the FULL position of SEVEN PEOPLE in my time with this company without relinquishing any of my own responsibilities, and I still get my work done. How are you going to lord over me about my start time for two days, when I stay late EVERY DAY? Go drink bleach. *spit*
