| Sounds like the kind of place where employees “live for Fridays” and “have a case of the Mondays.” Enjoy! |

I don’t think this is true. |

OP my staff who is newish he seems to have issues punching in and punching out. I have to look at his dumb time sheet every day.
He needs to work 8 hours and take a minimum of 30 minute lunch. For instance he wanted to work 8-430 pm with a 30 minute lunch. But with traffic let’s say he gets in 830 he has to stay to 450 if he takes a 45 minute lunch he needs to stay an extra 15 minutes. He also tried to make up time. His problem is o worked on clock when 23. We started at 9 am but my boss wanted us all in office at 830 am. We had 30 minutes to BS, read paper, go to cafeteria, go to breakfast and bathroom and punch in at 9am. We then punch out 5:30 pm. Did not have to leave but had to put all work away. Could not even answer phone. I am off the clock but I am there every day between 8-820 and leave between 5:15 and 6;15. He won’t last. Personally my kid gets on bus at 7 am so I am up and dressed in morning. There are people off the clock and we work OT but people on the clock don’t. He mentioned to me after 90 days he is eligible to apply to WFH two days a week. He is there 60 days. I almost peed in pants. HR says that all new hires. He can ask but answer always no. My CEO has a 120 mile round trip commute to work and does not WFH and he has kids and a wife I am quitting my other job next week. Sticking with this. I enjoy in person. But he even has cameras in parking lot. I got a $70k raise to give up WFH so I will stick it out a bit. |

| Sounds like a miserable place to work. Have fun OP. As long as you don't have to take care of any children, you can probably make it work. |

And yet some people still wonder why Gen Z and Millenials are saying hell naw to jobs that want this kind of environment. I'm Gen X and I would have started looking for new job on day 1. |

| This company is a class action waiting to happen. Lots of misclassification and overtime violations. Better hope there’s no office in CA or it will get very very expensive. |

OP zero mod classification. My on the clock staff has zero access to a laptop or mobile device he can’t work outside the office. We have a Quadruple punch rule. He has to punch in, punch out lunch, punch in lunch then punch out again. We badge swipe on an out and he is on camera 24/7 unless in bathroom. No OT unless pre-approved. We don’t want anyone even working one minute overtime. We also have break room and cafeteria. They can’t work during lunch. I am off the clock but I have swipe in and swipe out. I am supposed to be at work physically 45 hours a week. 8 hour day plus lunch break. No problem me. I like it. No more searching for staff. We even removed all cameras desk computers and external speakers. They can’t zoom in as staff. Cameras are only VP or higher. We also have time and motion and productivity reports and self audits. Also surprise audits of staff. We even removed garbage cans at desk, it up to me it be worse. |

I worked at a place with cameras on your computer screen so they could monitor that you weren't doing any personal work (checking gmail). You had to badge in and out at all times. People were docked pay/vacation time if they came late or took too long lunches. Nothing to do with productivity or quality of work. They lost a lot of good people.
One person worked through lunch to leave early, with supervisor approval, but when super-supervisor found out, they were told they could not do that. Awful place. They pay very well, so they have a lot of applicants and don't seem to mind the churn. |

I worked for a place like this years ago AND we didn't get paid overtime because we weren't hourly employees. But had no flexibility in our schedules and had to take PTO in 15 min increments and never below 40 hours a week. Couldn't make time up in lieu of PTO.
It was the worst. This was before I had kids. Now it would be impossible for me. |

This right here. When the pandemic hit, the company bought iPhones for everyone and had them set up for our work calls. We already had a VOIP system but they didn't want work calls being taken on personal cell phones. They've kept up the policy of every new employee being issued an iPhone when they're hired even though we're back to 100% in office. I leave that work phone at work on Friday evening. I never check my emails while on metro during my commute in. If the first hour of my day is spent responding to emails and triaging what has come in overnight, so be it. |
