Welcome
Oh no not really however, ive talked to several lawyers, one who writes labor contracts for a living, just relying to you what hes experience of 31 years is saying. Look the first step in avoiding a trap is knowing of its existence. The first step in falling for a trap sounds alot like, " i can absolutely give a crap about what their technology says." Look, lets you and me be honest for a minute, you dont pay my bills, and i dont pay yours, fair enough? So, what do i gain taking time away from my family, talking to you about this? Maybe nothing, what do i gain if im right and save you heartbreak, nothing again...maybe. Look you may not agree with me thats up to you. However do yourself and those who depend on you a favor and reread the technology and discipline section again. Maybe you see what a labor lawyer with 31 years, brought to my attention maybe you dont. I trust him as much as ill trust any lawyer, that said have. Good night and may the Gods ever smile upon you and those you care for. JRyan
Yep, they definitely got to you and have you thinking extra. Toss a bunch of papers and numbers in you and/or co-workers faces and have you all on edge.
An old sup of mine did that long ago when they started using tech data. Came to me with a handful of papers with all the minutes breakdown between deliveries and pickups for the entire day. I was running a MINIMUM of 3 and sometimes near 4 hours over a day.
He asked me to explain myself and you know what I told him "Mr. Ryan"?
I said "you know what XXXXX, I was very hungry that day and also wanted to keep all the restaurants on my route in business. So besides my regular lunch I took an additional 4 lunches, I'm sure you can see all the extra 50 minute gaps in your paperwork. Therefore I was stealing time and I think you should fire me".
That's exactly how it went down, he had a strange look on his face, I asked if he had anything else to say, nothing more from him, and I carried on to start my work day as usual.
On a side note, if I had to guess and I could be wrong.....but from the sound of things you have about 10-15 years in here at most and might be a tad worried about your future here with the way things are going and company direction.
Myself, again I really don't care. I'm in position years wise that I can walk in today and say I quit, or if they found something on me and brought that "stack of paperwork" to me you speak of and had just cause to release me I will be ok as well. Suppose I am locked in and biding my time now.
