I do hope your boss is able to work out something, Sophia.

Oh, wow, yeah, I hope your boss can get you the bump. That's a whole lot to suddenly have to rearrange.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sophia, that absolutely sucks balls.
I am hourly and also cannot work overtime without prior approval, but we do not click in and out, so me working my hours is all on the honor system. And if I work overtime by error or guilt without expecting comp time that can happen too.
Office staff being on punch clicks makes zero sense to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Phew!
Ugh, Sophia, that sounds so counter-productive. I hope you can get that salary bump and not punch an actual time clock!
Palm Springs for December sounds very nice, meara!
I am trying to decide how much time to dedicate to trying to see Princess Kate, and I think the answer is 10 minutes. I'll walk by when I can but not wait around.

That is so inane, Sophia! I’m glad to hear your boss sounds supportive. Hope this works out for you.
I’m jealous of a month in Palm Springs!!!

So apparently I did see her in the car -- I thought it couldn't be her in the front of the first car, but someone said it was. I saw a white woman with long hair in the Princess's motorcade, at least.

Good job, Jesse!
I hated that when I was last hourly, Sophia - clocking out for lunch complicated everything, it was customary to stand by the time clock waiting for it to be exactly a half hour so you could clock back in exactly on time, and people would do the same thing at the end of the day to hit 8 hours exactly, but I did not. If I was under 40 hours for the week they wanted me to use my vacation time to make up the difference (which I finally convinced my supervisor we really did not have to do, they could just pay me for the 39.75 hours or whatever it was). We had a physical timeclock at the time although I believe we went to virtual when everyone was WFH under lockdown but I was salaried again at that point and just, you know, working constantly. I'm glad to hear your boss is in your corner, Sophia, and I hope the powers that be show some sense.
The whole thing where it's made out to be the worker's responsibility to work exactly to time makes me so mad. It costs them extra if they require too much work from you, but that is somehow your fault for doing too much work! Argh!
