[Rant] I’m fucking annoyed. (reddthat.com)

My already soul-sucking job that has me carving out 9 hours a day just announced that going forward we’re supposed to be dedicating an extra half hour and that this will be rigorously enforced with a clock-in/clock-out system (we didn’t have one before), and I’m livid. Naturally, there’s no mention of a pay increase or any such because apparently “this is what we should’ve been doing all along”, even though we’re paid peanuts and there’s next to nothing by way of incentives or anything of the sort.

I worked my way up here precisely so I wouldn’t have to be subject to this sort of Big Brother scrutiny and this is just beyond annoying.

You know what I'm gonna say.

Rule5: Many problems look much better as they recede in the rearview.

It's resumé time.

But let me say that I fill TWO time sheets each week. It's not a punch clock because sir, this isn't a Wendy's, but it's two time sheets and the numbers don't match because #management.

My buddy at the next desk fills three. Same reasons but worse

Before you ditch the current hellhole for another, decide objectively what you need and how close this place is to it.

I'm finally at a job where I do zero time sheeting and I think at this point if anyone asked me to I'd probably tell them to shove it in a professional manner. The best advice I can give is find a company culture that considers your work and your contribution as performance rather than the number of hours you put in. It may take some time to find as the plague of middle management has seemingly taken over every single industry, but once you're there it's incredibly liberating.

Rule1: always, always, charge 'em until ya like 'em.

If they mandate timesheets, the likability goes down and they'll need to offset that. .. by a lot.
