This is gonna be a quick one.
My job used to be when you are done go home. The earlier you are done with your task the sooner you can go home. So I work skip my 30min lunch and 2 15min breaks to go home early.
Recently we got a new manager and they changed a lot of rules. Now we must keep going back out until everyone is done and our work load has tripled.
Now on to the Mc. I had finished my work fast with no breaks. Then helped someone else. I came back to the office already had 12 hours on the clock no breaks. The new boss yells at me that not everyone is done so get back out there.
1 person needed about 30 mins of help. But he was 20 min drive away. So even if i started driving now I would barely get there in time to help.
I tried to explain this to the manager.
"Nobody goes home until everyone is done."
Ok i jump in the work truck drive to a nearby drive through and clock out for lunch.
30mins of relaxing and eating a burger later. I clock back in and call the guy who needed help. He is done and the manager had called it a day.
I go back to the office. The manager is there steaming (they tracked me on gps)but cant do anything cause I followed the rules.
I am never rushing this job again. Im gonna take my sweet time. Every single day is going to be 12 hours or more so might as well make it an easy 12 hours. Im gonna take all my breaks now too.
