[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a federal agency where we have flexible work schedules and sign-in/sign-out daily logs.  I suspect a fellow employee may be entering fraudulent log in/out times yesterday and today.  As of this morning, he had not signed out for yesterday.  When he arrived mid-day today, he signed his name but had not entered an arrival time for today as of the time I left the office.  He had, however, signed out for yesterday....entering the latest available time allowed as his sign-out time.  Our bosses are out of the office this entire week.  I noticed this all today when I was trying to figure out mid-morning whether or not he was in the office and would be around for a scheduled meeting.

I am really hoping there is a logical explanation for my observations.  But there is some other background stuff that makes me think he is gaming the system.  And that makes me really upset.  What should I do?  I am torn between minding my own business (what would come of bringing it up, anyway??), asking him directly about it (I am not his supervisor so this seems really awkward, though I think I would want someone to give me the benefit of the doubt and talk to me directly), or telling someone (who? my supervisor? his supervisor? hr?) what I observed and let then decide what, if anything, to do.

[b]My conscience is eating at me[/b] (taxpayer dollars, and if I don't step up and say something aren't I just as bad in a way?).  And I am personally floored that someone would do this if it really is what it seems.[/quote]

No, I don't think this is true. I think you're just a nosy busybody. Why are you checking the logs so frequently? Do you also walk around your HOA with a measuring stick?[/quote]
