Off time means off time!

This guy shares how his boss got mad at him for not working off the clock and leaving work on time.

Check out how things got worse between them.

Started a new job, they gave me half my agreed upon hours for the second week because I left work…..on time.

As the title says, I started at a pizza place, and for the interview I said I’d like my shifts to be as long as possible, and the manager said the best they could do would be 8 hours.

UH OH…

I needed a job, so I went along with it.

My first week, and my first shift with the manager he sent me away 10 minutes earlier than when my shift finished, but I still stayed and helped with making a few extra pizza bases for them.

The second, and now last shift, with the manager, 8pm rolls around (the end of my shift,) and I say “well Frankie that’s 8pm!” And he basically agrees and says yeah that’s it, off you go.

Things started off on the wrong foot here…

Well I go home and he’s sent me the rota, and instead of the 3-4x 8hr shifts he’d promised, I’m on for FIFTEEN HOURS.

I tell him, I need X amount of hours, and not to sound rude but if you can’t give me that here I’ll need to look for work elsewhere.

He basically says, bye then, and I was the one that decided to leave on the dot at my end start time, implying that’s what I get.

He had no idea what they wanted!

Like? What?

I told him, you never said that I could stay longer, or I would have. He said, well you never asked, and “I asked you after everything I told you if you have any questions” (he said it twice…)

I told him I didn’t presume I’d have to ask, as you know I want as long shifts as possible but said the best you could do was 8, so I presumed staying longer wouldn’t have been preferable to the restaurant as it’s extra wages, so I was going off what the rota said.

He said, assume, presume, it doesn’t matter anymore.

That’s INSANE!

There was a little bit more back and forth, he’s agreed to pay me for my time and I’m waiting on that.

How am I supposed to know you want me to stay longer when you can’t even rotate me on for those hours, then presume I’m lazy for that?

GEEZ! That sounds a bit problematic!

Why would the boss not communicate what he needed?
