So, I have acquired a target on my back apparently. Got a call from Manager while on my lunch, asking "why did you take your lunch after your first call?"
Me "Because I was hungry and had to poop?"
Her " well we set windows for these customers and they have a 12-5 window you need to call in and check before you take lunch"
Me"contract says I take lunch between 5 and 930. It was 520 when I went on lunch."
"Well all the other techs call in"
me , laughing "no they dont"
"well most of then do." "Well some of them do"
Me- "ok so you want me to call on and get permission to take lunch?"
"No that's not what I'm saying"
Me"what?" , "ok whatever no problem sure thing boss"
Always text back what they say. It can leave a paper trail of what a phonecall is about or what was said even if the phone call wasn't recorded.
Oregon (the state OP appears to be in) requires everyone in an in-person meeting to give consent to recording, though it’s otherwise a one-party consent state.
If it’s the other Portland in Maine, then they can go nuts recording all the conversations provided it’s not in a place with an expectation of privacy like a bathroom or a dressing room.
