I literally tried the “I’m always staying at least 30 minutes late every single day, does that not count?” argument and got met with “any other company would have fired you on the first offense but we give you more chances because we care” so yeah, they don’t give a shit. lol

In my company salary folks have to punch the clock to prove they were there that day. But it doesn’t matter when they punch in – just that they do.
Back then, you could dock a salaried employee if they didn’t work a full 40 hours.

In the Co-op where I worked, only the manager was salaried. All the supervisors and assistant managers were paid hourly.
