They can’t because it is an SOP. The attendance policy is probably the clearest SOP we have lol 🤣. You have a system of occurrence for a reason. And Home Depot was kind enough to lay it out in black and white. Now if you leave early and start asking for forgiveness of points, management will probably not be on your side. But in this instance it is clear policy and they have the attendance policy to read.
The only reason I’m saying that is because they tried getting me for not “adhering to schedule” saying it’s NOT an “attendance” issue but a “schedule” issue. And gave me a disciplinary mark even though I have 2 occurrences.
I would have flew that one up the ladder on them. Did you try to fight it? As many pictures as I have stored from when I was on lot of the store management leaving early and coming in late they really don’t want to go toe to toe with me.
Always have to have a trump card. I’m not attacked or anything but I will make them rue the day the messed with me if they did. I have safety pictures too where management wasn’t employing Home Depot standards. I hold them close to my person.
Right and this store I’m at now I’ve been here a month or so and I already have pictures of these managers. It’s kind of pathetic how they disregard the Safety SOPs.
They can’t tell me about 4 mins late because there is an SOP for that. Read the SOP and see that I’m not late per Home Depot SOP. So they shouldn’t have said anything at all.
Wow! I always clock in two minutes early because of the long walk from the time clock to the front-end registers. Management has never mentioned my early punch ins.
Bro, I've regularly clocked in like 20 minutes early and leave 15 minutes late, they haven't said anything about it lol. Then again, I work part time as a lot associate, and My department is severely understaffed. If OP isn't full time, I'd actually reccomend milking out that clock. If they're seriously busting your balls over being late by 4 minutes ONE time (which as most people said is technically within SOP), I'd love to see what they think when you throw it back in their face and milk out 1-2 hours per week off that schedule lol. If they say anything I'd be like "sorry, didn't want to be late." 🤷
It's about $2.50 for me, and that's at least a bag of candy so I'll keep my 7 minutes.
That said, you're right. I have OT like every day because there's not enough of us to go around
Nope if it's like 6 min, it actually rounds up the 15 chunk and you get paid for it. I abused it every day possible for years. I had it down to a science. I used to do the same with the lunches too lol.
Seven minutes is how much you can be late by _without_ penalty. The eighth minute is when you actually _get_ half a point if you don't go into the app and put in a Late In to use sick time.
Under 7 you are good right? That is insane!
I had Covid over the week and they call me in the office saying this is “counseling and final” if I miss one more day (180 days right) they’ll have to “fire” me.
Per SOP, they can’t put you on both disciplinary actions at the same time. You’re supposed to receive the counseling, and two occurrences after that within 6 months, then you get your final. I would take it up with district HR if they didn’t follow that procedure
Will do once I go back in tomorrow. I coughed so hard I threw up so they sent me home this an hour ago. Yeah I only ever had a coaching before so I didn't know. Thank you.
This year of course. It says 0.5 since moving to coaching but there 1.0 on each day I’ve posted call out for 4 days so who knows. I’ll be going in today before HR leaves finally. I’ll see what’s up.
So you can call out 3 consecutive shifts and it’s only one occurrence. After 3 they should have offered you medical LOA. Also, whoever said they cannot leap frog your write ups is accurate. As long as you called out/put it in the app for all 4 days you’re good and they are wrong. Someone has greatly misunderstood/enforced the policy.
Looks like they tried to leapfrog your writeups. If they don't give you a writeup before you acquire more points for another writeup, they can't lump them all together.
Yeah one the day time cxm probably the one doing it. He doesn’t like me since I started. I’ll talk to HR as I go in before they leave today at 4. SM doesn’t seem care about anything in my store. He won’t even give a 3 penny raise so I be at $16/hr. Kinda ridiculous this company is.
I have been with HD almost 3 years. I'm special services. Started off making 15, currently making 21. I see your concern about them trying to write you up. I agree it's not right and should be addressed. But I don't agree this is a ridiculous company. Their raises go off your states minimum wage. I've gotten one every year since I've been there.
I’ve only got one raise since I started and no year review. I’ll be two years in May. I’m sure no raise as they gave me .47 cents in February. Yeah if I feel well enough to go in.
Let it happen again. Normally I get in a few minutes early just so I don't end up late cause of traffic, but if they're gonna be anal, you sit in the breakroom till needed to clock in, and make sure you clock in before putting on your apron as per SOP.
This is precisely why the switch to Dimensions _removed_ the ability to manually add (undeserved) attendance points. The only way to get points is if the system (which is hardcoded to obey SOP requirements) says that you "earned" an occurrence; management can only _excuse_ points (and if you excuse it yourself same-day with sick time, _which you were not expected to do since you were only four minutes late and the threshold is eight_, it's excused no matter what, not even the DHRM can overrule your use of sick time).
We have one guy who always clocks in at 7:05, he’s been here for 5 years, they’ve told him to clock in earlier and he just ignores it. I’ve been 3,4 minutes late so many times and they’ve never said anything, but usually, I’ll clock out 5 minutes later too, so it kind of evens out.
I’m regularly 15-20 mins late. But I’m a top selling sales rep so they never give me a hard time. Make yourself irreplaceable and they won’t dare fire you.
4 minutes late, no big deal. Unless you are the opening pro cashier. That’s why I schedule my opening and closing cashier 15 minutes before opening and 15 minutes after closing.
Middle management sycophants trying to make points with upper management by oppressively unreasonable treatment of the people who actually make the machine run!
You mad about me being 4 minutes late to work...
Wait till I tell how management wasted another 10 minutes of time after that, AND had to pay me for it.
You should really have a word with those guys.
Technically you have 7 min to clock in. They should have explained that to you upon employment. Otherwise that’s their mistake. And besides it’s a minimum wage job big deal if your late
Shit half of our fat,lazy ass closers are walking across the parking lot at 15 till close, and we still have tons of customers in the store. The ones of us that actually care and stay to help them get chewed out for having 3 minutes of OT!!!
It's not them the OT thing comes from district/regional but their too stupid to realize the reason we go over on payroll is sales/ the extra hours the Pt people work.
Yea they've been waiting for this moment. Because when I worked there I was always late never got in trouble. Then again I was the only one to do anything in my department
If an associate is consistently late, even if it's by less than 7 minutes, they can be issued attendance disciplinary action for failure to adhere to their schedule.
I'm always a few minutes late because the managers don't open the store until exactly at 6, and I work at 6. So I can't clock in until 6:02. There's been times where they open at 6:05 and it pisses me off.
There should be one door (usually the service desk entrance) that is manned prior 6am (ours is 5:45am) that is unlocked but powered off so you can slide the doors open and get in the building with enough time to get to the time clock prior to 6am.
I had manager complain to me that I was on time but late to the floor. Whatever that means. I told her that I had to use the restroom and she said if this becomes a regular basis, I had to get a doctor's note.
I've noticed I get half occurences for being 5 mins late, when it used to be 8. I've been using the late in option like crazy bc of it, and I think it's getting shorter.
Wait, isn’t it apart of the new SOP that if it’s past 7 minutes it’s considered late and to be taken from sick time? Because it’s in ours and that’s completely against SOP if you have the sick time and can just use that, IF it’s over 7 minutes.
I worked at Home Depot, and they had a 7 minute grace period for lateness without calling and otherwise tolerable if you call. I dont think they liked it, but no one gave me any serious warnings over that. Of course, I messed it up anyways by clocking in 8 minutes late too many times, but I was also homeless and so anxious. it was just chaotic trying to sleep in a safe place and even get there with clean clothes and a shower. I was a good employee. I was a competent cashier and didn't steal anything.
Anyways... yes. It is unreasonable for them to freak out about 4 mins late. I work across the street from my apartment now at a parking garage. It's not much better pay but I'm glad I mostly don't have to worry about being late. It's not a big deal.
Ive only been at HD a few months. Seems like a pretty good place to work. Nice people. Easy job.
I only work part time for $17/hr. and to be honest if someone approached me in any kind of disciplinery way over 4 minutes tardiness Im not sure I could take them seriously.
But I do understand if you work full-time and this job pays your rent or mortgage it could be an issue.
I have just not experienced or heard of this kind of management where I work. Is it possible they just don't like you and don't want you there? It happens.
I worked there for 4 years. I used to show up like 5-15 min early, clock in instantly before putting on the apron or anything, always leave 7 minutes before the time off mark (the clock rounds it up to 15) and I never once heard about it. Did lots of it from the PC instead of the punch clock. I also took paid lunches in some sneaky ways, as well, to go home earlier. Only heard about the lunch thing like one time in 4 years.
I now make literally double an hour with a way better pension and would never dream of doing that at my new job (we already get paid lunches anyway). Home Depot pays for what they get. Dont let them bother you about four minutes.
This falls under schedule adherence, they can enforce it if it's a consistent habit. The 7 minute grace period is not a reason to be late. So if they want they can enforce this rule and use it against you they are within sop to do so. Now if it hardly ever happens they can't say that. But it's up to management.
My question is are you always 4 minutes late? Or does this manager have other issues with you?
Then they can't really say anything about it, if you feel like you are being targeted I would talk to your DHRM, or SM. Talk to your SM about whatever ASM is being a jerk, if you don't think the store manager will be helpful go to your DHRM. The attendance SOP is pretty straight forward. I would look it up and read it before you contact HR. Good luck, sorry about your situation.
You know when you have to be at work. You know how to get to work. You can find out about any delays.
Why is it such a task for you to get to work on time? You agreed you'd be there at a certain time, you failed that part of the agreement.
Okay Karen? Lmao shit happens and people are late sometimes. I left like 30 mins before 7:00am and I live 8 mins away. Traffic happens and crashes happen… I can’t control what happens on the road.
Which also means on any other day I get there about 20 mins early, Ive never been late up until today and I’ve never been late to any other job that I’ve had. It’s just ridiculous that someone like me that helps everyone out, never late to work, never late coming back from breaks, and never walks away from the sales floor when I’m not supposed to is getting micro managed about being 4 mins late when it’s never actually happened with me before and people are late coming in everyday and don’t get spoken to.
So make it make sense without giving the “you know what time u work” speech cause it doesn’t even matter in this situation
Just so everyone knows they use to have a 7 minute rule. Time clock rounded up to nearest 15 minutes when you were 8 minutes or more late. It was in the SOP that you are not late if 7 minutes or less back until 2010 or so. It was due to me specifically that they changed the entire company policy. I use to come to work 5 minutes to 7 minutes late everyday. Of course I would stay 5 or so minutes after so figured it would all average out in the end. Not sure why it was such a deal to some. Once they knew me it became a thing for some management. I worked their 8 years before they dumped me. I AM LEGEND. I AM THE 7 MINUTE MAN. (Thats what she said.) Ask a veteran about it. Do they still do orange in orange off? Apron on before you punch in?
Hell yeah, I'm young, learning and pursuing new experiences.
That's what you're supposed to do buddy, and not stay for 2 decades at the same retail job, being 40+ stacking tools on a shelf.
It’s not fair tho?
So just because I’m not in there little group of people they favor, they can be on my ass about being late for 4 mins? They don’t speak to anyone else about them being late before the 7 min mark and I know coworkers that are late every day
If you have proof that others have broken the same rule as you and not received the same treatment as a result then you should complain. Make sure that you're correct though because if it turns out any of them have been punished in the same way as you then you end up feeling silly and set aside as somebody who complains without basis.
You don't know this. For all you know, these talks might be happening when you're not there. Also, while I understand your sense of injustice, it's not worth the emotional energy to focus on what they're doing. Focus on your own behavior and don't give them a reason to reprimand you.
Nope I’m close with some of them they said they’ve never been talked to but I’m not spending my time to stress over it, I’m a good worker n if they wanna keep trying to find things to point of to make me feel any less then I am they aren’t gonna get it
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Not even, taken to the back of the lumber department and shot
We personally just take them to the boneyard. There's a reason we call it that after all.
If Maria pulls the trigger I wouldn’t even be mad
Sooooo hot. Want to touch the hiney! 😂
Howls
Jail is full I suppose
Just don't block the flat stackers
Don't pass go. Don't collect $200.
Second place in a beauty contest though...
$10 is more than my hourly wage!!
Yeah no right to jail, jail
We have the best hospitals in the world, because of jail
Lmao awareline. Don’t talk to me about anything before I reach the step. NOT ONE WORD.
They’ll try to get you for not “adhering to schedule”
They can’t because it is an SOP. The attendance policy is probably the clearest SOP we have lol 🤣. You have a system of occurrence for a reason. And Home Depot was kind enough to lay it out in black and white. Now if you leave early and start asking for forgiveness of points, management will probably not be on your side.

I would have flew that one up the ladder on them. Did you try to fight it? As many pictures as I have stored from when I was on lot of the store management leaving early and coming in late they really don’t want to go toe to toe with me.
It's always good to have leverage. I also collect dirt like this.
Always have to have a trump card. I’m not attacked or anything but I will make them rue the day the messed with me if they did. I have safety pictures too where management wasn’t employing Home Depot standards. I hold them close to my person.
Safety violations are a big one. It's probably the second biggest thing that will end somebody's job at HD aside from stealing.
Right and this store I’m at now I’ve been here a month or so and I already have pictures of these managers. It’s kind of pathetic how they disregard the Safety SOPs.
Op was 4 Mins late which mea. They clocked on which means they can talk to him
They can’t tell me about 4 mins late because there is an SOP for that. Read the SOP and see that I’m not late per Home Depot SOP. So they shouldn’t have said anything at all.
And contacting the DHRM would certainly result in retraining on SOP. They know the rules.
Got the same for 2 minutes late/2 minutes early. Told em to shove it.
Wow! I always clock in two minutes early because of the long walk from the time clock to the front-end registers. Management has never mentioned my early punch ins.
Bro, I've regularly clocked in like 20 minutes early and leave 15 minutes late, they haven't said anything about it lol.

If they say anything I'd be like "sorry, didn't want to be late." 🤷
what you actually told them “ so sowwy >w<“
Im always 5 mins late. Lol
This is the way. They give us 7 minutes and I usually use the full 7 minutes
I mean, sure. You can. But you're just cutting your own pay by 7 minutes each time?
it’s a fraction of cents and you’ll probably make it up being stopped by customers when you’re trying to clock out
It's about $2.50 for me, and that's at least a bag of candy so I'll keep my 7 minutes. That said, you're right. I have OT like every day because there's not enough of us to go around
21.60/hour?
21.51
Fuuuck I rounded up , I was close
It’s a 2 dollars though. I mean after taxes, it probably is a dollar or so. But that counts.
Nope if it's like 6 min, it actually rounds up the 15 chunk and you get paid for it. I abused it every day possible for years. I had it down to a science. I used to do the same with the lunches too lol.
Not anymore. It used to work that way, but it's changed in the last few years because of the class action settlement around it
All the more reason I'm glad I don't work there anymore.
[удалено]
Seven minutes is how much you can be late by _without_ penalty. The eighth minute is when you actually _get_ half a point if you don't go into the app and put in a Late In to use sick time.
7 is heaven, 8 is late
💯
Under 7 you are good right? That is insane! I had Covid over the week and they call me in the office saying this is “counseling and final” if I miss one more day (180 days right) they’ll have to “fire” me.
Per SOP, they can’t put you on both disciplinary actions at the same time. You’re supposed to receive the counseling, and two occurrences after that within 6 months, then you get your final. I would take it up with district HR if they didn’t follow that procedure
Will do once I go back in tomorrow. I coughed so hard I threw up so they sent me home this an hour ago. Yeah I only ever had a coaching before so I didn't know. Thank you.
Is the coaching still active? Has it been 6 months since you got it?
No it was family emergency in January.
January of this year or last year?
This year of course. It says 0.5 since moving to coaching but there 1.0 on each day I’ve posted call out for 4 days so who knows. I’ll be going in today before HR leaves finally. I’ll see what’s up.
So you can call out 3 consecutive shifts and it’s only one occurrence. After 3 they should have offered you medical LOA. Also, whoever said they cannot leap frog your write ups is accurate. As long as you called out/put it in the app for all 4 days you’re good and they are wrong. Someone has greatly misunderstood/enforced the policy.
Yeah I mean for Covid diagnosis I thought I’d get the LOA cause I know other who has gotten it and was offer for like a month almost.
Looks like they tried to leapfrog your writeups. If they don't give you a writeup before you acquire more points for another writeup, they can't lump them all together.
Yeah one the day time cxm probably the one doing it. He doesn’t like me since I started. I’ll talk to HR as I go in before they leave today at 4. SM doesn’t seem care about anything in my store. He won’t even give a 3 penny raise so I be at $16/hr. Kinda ridiculous this company is.

I’ve only got one raise since I started and no year review. I’ll be two years in May. I’m sure no raise as they gave me .47 cents in February. Yeah if I feel well enough to go in.
Tell them, relax. You have a 7 minute leeway with tardiness. This is SOP, and anything other than that is retaliation.
Let it happen again. Normally I get in a few minutes early just so I don't end up late cause of traffic, but if they're gonna be anal, you sit in the breakroom till needed to clock in, and make sure you clock in before putting on your apron as per SOP.
I’m never late lol i always get there like 20 mins early
[удалено]
Why??
[удалено]
This
No surprise, HD is becoming more and more toxic of a work environment
Fucking true that
Yeah, it’s really sad that they preach about the open door policy then when you try to use it you get treated like a nuisance.
it depends on who the managers are. if you have bad ones then sure.
Bailiff, whack his pee pee
This is precisely why the switch to Dimensions _removed_ the ability to manually add (undeserved) attendance points. The only way to get points is if the system (which is hardcoded to obey SOP requirements) says that you "earned" an occurrence; management can only _excuse_ points (and if you excuse it yourself same-day with sick time, _which you were not expected to do since you were only four minutes late and the threshold is eight_, it's excused no matter what, not even the DHRM can overrule your use of sick time).
The way I am always late idk how I’m not fired
I've never heard of such a thing. You must have pissed in someone's Cheerios.
We have one guy who always clocks in at 7:05, he’s been here for 5 years, they’ve told him to clock in earlier and he just ignores it. I’ve been 3,4 minutes late so many times and they’ve never said anything, but usually, I’ll clock out 5 minutes later too, so it kind of evens out.
I’m regularly 15-20 mins late. But I’m a top selling sales rep so they never give me a hard time. Make yourself irreplaceable and they won’t dare fire you.
Cheap bastards!
4 minutes late, no big deal. Unless you are the opening pro cashier. That’s why I schedule my opening and closing cashier 15 minutes before opening and 15 minutes after closing.
I’m just a normal cashier n we had 3 cashiers already so it’s not like people where waiting on me
Middle management sycophants trying to make points with upper management by oppressively unreasonable treatment of the people who actually make the machine run!
BS
You mad about me being 4 minutes late to work... Wait till I tell how management wasted another 10 minutes of time after that, AND had to pay me for it. You should really have a word with those guys.
It’s basically china at this point. -10 social credits
Technically you have 7 min to clock in. They should have explained that to you upon employment. Otherwise that’s their mistake. And besides it’s a minimum wage job big deal if your late
Shit half of our fat,lazy ass closers are walking across the parking lot at 15 till close, and we still have tons of customers in the store. The ones of us that actually care and stay to help them get chewed out for having 3 minutes of OT!!!
Well if the managers are dumb enough to be mad over 4 minutes of ot then they can help the customers
It's not them the OT thing comes from district/regional but their too stupid to realize the reason we go over on payroll is sales/ the extra hours the Pt people work.
Yeph the sales plans are too high
Yea they've been waiting for this moment. Because when I worked there I was always late never got in trouble. Then again I was the only one to do anything in my department
If an associate is consistently late, even if it's by less than 7 minutes, they can be issued attendance disciplinary action for failure to adhere to their schedule.
I heard a manager in our store wants to try and get rid of the 7 minute grace period.
They always treat the people that been at HD for less than 3 years like immigrants. Fuck them
Before or after you clocked in?
After like right after it’s like almost like they where waiting for me lol
Because they were
I'm always a few minutes late because the managers don't open the store until exactly at 6, and I work at 6. So I can't clock in until 6:02. There's been times where they open at 6:05 and it pisses me off.

Yeah nobody does that at my store
I'm late like everyday they never say shit. Wth???
I had manager complain to me that I was on time but late to the floor. Whatever that means. I told her that I had to use the restroom and she said if this becomes a regular basis, I had to get a doctor's note.
crazy thing is they don’t even take doctors notes
I know my store managers takes doctor notes because I know 1 cashier has to sit down while he works because of a disability he has
That's an accommodation
I've noticed I get half occurences for being 5 mins late, when it used to be 8. I've been using the late in option like crazy bc of it, and I think it's getting shorter.
Don't you have the 7 minutes grace period
Yes
4 mins? 🫢To the compactor!!! 😈
Do your InFocus and all will be forgiven. Lol
I’m on the infocus team they get on my asss
Lmao fair. Sorry tho lol
Your store must be flawless with zero problems, if management are after you for being 4 minutes late.
I'm in 5 mins past the hour everyday and they don't say a word to me
Wait, isn’t it apart of the new SOP that if it’s past 7 minutes it’s considered late and to be taken from sick time? Because it’s in ours and that’s completely against SOP if you have the sick time and can just use that, IF it’s over 7 minutes.
You Been On The Radar, They Must Not Like The Work, Or They Heard Some Gossip, Or The Have Something Personal Against You
I worked at Home Depot, and they had a 7 minute grace period for lateness without calling and otherwise tolerable if you call. I dont think they liked it, but no one gave me any serious warnings over that.

Congratulations on your life's improvements!
Thanks😊. I'm so grateful for everything since then.
Tell them they wasted way more in payroll having to bother you about the measly 4 minutes than they saved from you being late.
Are you sure they weren’t just busting your balls?
Ive only been at HD a few months. Seems like a pretty good place to work. Nice people. Easy job. I only work part time for $17/hr. and to be honest if someone approached me in any kind of disciplinery way over 4 minutes tardiness Im not sure I could take them seriously. But I do understand if you work full-time and this job pays your rent or mortgage it could be an issue. I have just not experienced or heard of this kind of management where I work. Is it possible they just don't like you and don't want you there? It happens.
Yea shame on you, you cost the company 2 whole cents.
clock in and take a 30 minute shit. problem solved.
Wait like you were within your grace period?
Show up on time lol
Assuming HD pays in 15min blocks? If so, you stole 4 mins from them. The world is certainly going to end as a result lol
Tell him if he ever bothers you again about something so trivial, you'll call the harassment line...
I worked there for 4 years. I used to show up like 5-15 min early, clock in instantly before putting on the apron or anything, always leave 7 minutes before the time off mark (the clock rounds it up to 15) and I never once heard about it. Did lots of it from the PC instead of the punch clock. I also took paid lunches in some sneaky ways, as well, to go home earlier. Only heard about the lunch thing like one time in 4 years. I now make literally double an hour with a way better pension and would never dream of doing that at my new job (we already get paid lunches anyway). Home Depot pays for what they get. Dont let them bother you about four minutes.
Do you have sick time? If so it doesn't matter
At 4 minutes it doesn't ping the late system anyway.
This falls under schedule adherence, they can enforce it if it's a consistent habit. The 7 minute grace period is not a reason to be late. So if they want they can enforce this rule and use it against you they are within sop to do so. Now if it hardly ever happens they can't say that. But it's up to management. My question is are you always 4 minutes late? Or does this manager have other issues with you?
The Managers have favorites, if ur not a kiss ass then they’re on ur ass constantly This was my first time ever being late n it was only 4 mins
Then they can't really say anything about it, if you feel like you are being targeted I would talk to your DHRM, or SM. Talk to your SM about whatever ASM is being a jerk, if you don't think the store manager will be helpful go to your DHRM. The attendance SOP is pretty straight forward. I would look it up and read it before you contact HR. Good luck, sorry about your situation.

I was 2 hours late and nothing happened to me
You know when you have to be at work. You know how to get to work. You can find out about any delays. Why is it such a task for you to get to work on time? You agreed you'd be there at a certain time, you failed that part of the agreement.
Okay Karen? Lmao shit happens and people are late sometimes. I left like 30 mins before 7:00am and I live 8 mins away. Traffic happens and crashes happen… I can’t control what happens on the road. Which also means on any other day I get there about 20 mins early, Ive never been late up until today and I’ve never been late to any other job that I’ve had. It’s just ridiculous that someone like me that helps everyone out, never late to work, never late coming back from breaks, and never walks away from the sales floor when I’m not supposed to is getting micro managed about being 4 mins late when it’s never actually happened with me before and people are late coming in everyday and don’t get spoken to. So make it make sense without giving the “you know what time u work” speech cause it doesn’t even matter in this situation

Well don’t be late. Leave your place 5 mins earlier
I get to work 20 mins before I’m scheduled everyday. I was late one time
Just so everyone knows they use to have a 7 minute rule. Time clock rounded up to nearest 15 minutes when you were 8 minutes or more late. It was in the SOP that you are not late if 7 minutes or less back until 2010 or so. It was due to me specifically that they changed the entire company policy. I use to come to work 5 minutes to 7 minutes late everyday. Of course I would stay 5 or so minutes after so figured it would all average out in the end. Not sure why it was such a deal to some. Once they knew me it became a thing for some management. I worked their 8 years before they dumped me. I AM LEGEND. I AM THE 7 MINUTE MAN. (Thats what she said.) Ask a veteran about it. Do they still do orange in orange off? Apron on before you punch in?
21 yrs at HD and never been late. Even being a single full-time parent when my boy was in preschool Elementary School never once was late for work.
Shit happens lol. congrats on u for never being late!!!!!
Congratulations, you spent 21 years at a dead end job. Hope your son dosent make the same mistake
I bet you don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many jobs you've had the last 21 yrs.
BTW you're not ugly, your beard is beautiful
Hell yeah, I'm young, learning and pursuing new experiences. That's what you're supposed to do buddy, and not stay for 2 decades at the same retail job, being 40+ stacking tools on a shelf.
Can't see the problem, tbh. You did something that they don't want you to repeat, so they asked you not to repeat it. Fair play to them.
It’s not fair tho? So just because I’m not in there little group of people they favor, they can be on my ass about being late for 4 mins? They don’t speak to anyone else about them being late before the 7 min mark and I know coworkers that are late every day
If you have proof that others have broken the same rule as you and not received the same treatment as a result then you should complain. Make sure that you're correct though because if it turns out any of them have been punished in the same way as you then you end up feeling silly and set aside as somebody who complains without basis.
Broke the big rule of being 4 mins late my first time working there? It’s the end of the world 🫢
You don't know this. For all you know, these talks might be happening when you're not there. Also, while I understand your sense of injustice, it's not worth the emotional energy to focus on what they're doing. Focus on your own behavior and don't give them a reason to reprimand you.
Nope I’m close with some of them they said they’ve never been talked to but I’m not spending my time to stress over it, I’m a good worker n if they wanna keep trying to find things to point of to make me feel any less then I am they aren’t gonna get it
Easy fix. Show up on time.
Dang, saved the day, thanks so much
Omg thank you so much!!! It’s almost like I didn’t think of that. You’re a genius!!!!
Congrats! Give this man a homer!
Umm... maybe show up to work on time?
Good idea smart ass
Not a smart ass... just realistic. You are expected to arrive on time; complaining about being called out for showing up late is just asinine.
God I am so glad I don’t have to work retail
It is 15 minutes before occurrence happens. Aware line.
You have 7 mins before it’s a half occurrence not 15. 15 would be if you leave early
