Ok, congrats. I will no longer be a productive employee.

Wow. I'm reading a text on my lunch. My boss left to go get lunch at the exact same time I went in to make mine. She came back 50 minutes later. "Aren't you done yet?" Well no, I get an hour, and you were just gone the exact same amount of time, and you're still on your lunch, so how do you reason I'm no longer on mine? We both get an hour.
She then sarcastically says, "oh yeah, make sure you get your extra minute", sits down, eats for 25 minutes without working, and when I asked her about the sarcasm in her voice she replied, "You can't treat this as 'tit for tat', full time workers don't always get to take their full lunch, I never do"...
This woman come in 40-50 minutes late EVERY morning. Like, we're all suppossed to be here at 8. I am, the other AA is, she arrives about 20-25 minutes before the 9:08 meeting.
This woman also leaves to run errands and buy her lunch somewhere every day. Only because we've been swamped lately has she not been gone 60-75 minutes (sometimes much longer), then comes back and eats for another 20 minutes.
She then has to occasionally run extra errands, and leaves work to do this for an hour.
I don't care that you abuse the timecard. Really, I don't give a crap. So you really work a 32-35 hour week. I don't care. But don't you DARE accuse me of playing a game when I come in on time, take the appropriate lunch hour, and if I ever stay on longer (or spend some decent time posting on GRB), I stay late to make up for it. I don't stand for that.
So I'm done. I'll be like everyone else. I'll leave for lunch, maybe take extra time if I want and not make it up. I think I'll start running errands or doing school stuff when I need to without regard to anything else. Hey, I'm on a computer, it looks like I'm working.
I might as well do what I'm being accused of. I'd love to be fired and have extra time to work on my MA.
