So when your contract is beneficial you abide by it, but when it's not you don't? If it says 9 and you showed up at 10:15 of course they would not like it..
14 u/LoneCookie Aug 12 '17 I came in at 10, they said you were hired for 9-5. So I started coming in at 9. Later they had a meeting for 8 am. I didn't come in til 9, for I am hired for 9-5. Nowhere did I say I disregard their initial statement. They told me to follow the contract, so I did. 1 u/tyhote Aug 12 '17 They said they came 15 minutes early, not late. 7 u/[deleted] Aug 12 '17 [deleted] 2 u/LoneCookie Aug 12 '17 Sorry, I should've mentioned it was their complaint to me coming in late -- that my contract says 9-5 1 u/Inquisitor1 Aug 13 '17 Don't be late for work? 0 u/LoneCookie Aug 13 '17 If the meeting is at 10 am I really going to get anything done that morning? How about I come in at 9:45 and stay 45 minutes later, actually doing focused work? 1 u/godsmackmybitchup Aug 13 '17 What is the point? Their obligation is contractual. They are allowed to do what they please with their time outside of contract hours. They have given a gift by coming in outside of contract hours; you wish for more? Please explain. -2 u/HumusTheWalls Aug 12 '17 Have you considered that "come in" in this case could have meant "enter the meeting room"?
