I'm so used to working late I consider getting off on time leaving early.
gabble13gjgj360
I'm still working right now. Lots of downtime to imgur but I get paid.

You must be close to overtime

Old manager would "let us leave early" on Fridays, just to cut our hours. After we stopped leaving voluntarily he'd just kick us out.

Ahh serendipitous!

This isn’t as bad as my manager saying no one can book the Christmas period off. But she had already booked it off for herself

He didn’t lie

I love these. So how early is “early enough” to be considered early?
Cthulily
Technically not wrong.
Elguerrero1397
No, literally not wrong.

Sad thing is I would be ecstatic. It's not much but at the end of the day 3 minutes is one less shitty phone call I have to handle.

My boss often leaves at 15 when workday ends at 16, always makes the same joke: I'm taking half a day off. He always thinks it's funny lol
ViciousOtter
You said lol tho
It's funny that he keeps thinking it's funny. Hence the lol :-)
trigonman3
the boss thinks it's "funny lol"
brakiachi
My favorite is at the end of the day on Friday "you know what, why don't you take the next couple days off"

Stroll back in the office on Wednesday...

Especially when they've forgotten that you're scheduled for the weekend. Real gutbuster.
Take them at their word

Same happened at our shop... let us out anout 10 minutes early... I still got home at my regular time...
doobette
You've worked hard all year for that extra 10 minutes!
You are most certainly right my dear!!! <3

I took a shot with my boss before leaving work to celebrate the holidays so there's management and there are bosses
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My manager always introduces me as his colleague. He treats me that way too. It's a good work environment.
lionel1024
Jokes on you, his boss thinks you're at the same level and your boss just wanted a subordinate.
AmazingSpiderCam
I kinda did this a few days ago. I told an employee to leave at 4:10 but put 4:30 in his time sheet

Completely throwing pretense out the window and fully reinstating the feudal system!!
"You mean back to knights in shining armour?" "No, none of the cool stuff"
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could take the best parts of the past, do away with the shitty parts, and advance as a society?
So... a Renaissance Fair?
Groovechild
Had a supe that'd say (on slow nights) we could go home early if we wrapped up our work. And we would. Then he'd spend the next 3-4 hours...
Finding piddly little things to do and ten minutes before the shift ended he'd cut us loose. Real magnanimous sonuvabitch, that one.
Datarage
That’s the army special. Get your work done real fast so you can be done. Oh wait plt sgt gets to decide not me never mind.
biblioteker
A) You volunteered. B) You're on duty 24x7x365.25, so suck it up. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, be grateful you're not in Afghanistan.
On duty 16 hours a day, army requires soldiers have time for eating, grooming, and sleep and commanders enhance this w company policies.
Plus Afghanistan wouldn’t mean dirt to me I’m strategic satcom
As a former SFC, I was making a joke. Senior NCOs are not known for having a sense of humor, it's been thoroughly documented. *Soldiers, *w/

Now wait to see if you get paid for those three minutes

Well, he was probably expecting you to stay until 5...

My supervisors got upset one day bc I always used to stay an hour late but that day I couldn’t...I come in 2 hours early as well.
They’ve since gotten over themselves and they do appreciate me, but man if I didn’t feel like a traitor in their eyes
Managers know that 20-30% of the employees gets 80-90% of the work done. Think about looking for another job.
ComradeTrotsky
That's the problem with doing that sort of stuff. People wind up expecting it as your base line rather than something special and nice.
Dukenukemx
Your supervisors suck. Did you at least get paid for the extra hours you worked?
Oh yea I get overtime pay for those hours, thank goodness!
DocWino
Our Xmas party went in to overtime we won’t get paid for. Oh, we paid for the party as well.

It was at a crappy Mexican restaurant. We had to buy our own meals.
it would be funny if it gave you stomachache after all
I didn’t eat most of it. I love Mexican food. Can’t stand canned enchilada sauce or gringo/Mexican food.
theshinobi23
Right. I mean, why wouldn't he expect you to stay until 6?
