[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.

If you're salaried you may be able to justify that you're already working more then your contract states. Seen many companies implement a clock in clock out only for it to bite them in the ass when all the extra labor that the team is putting in suddenly vanishes. If you're hourly, just make sure that the company is paying out OT and they'll quickly realize how expensive this kind of BS policy is. At least that's the hope. Best of luck to you

Sounds like OP is salary and in the worst of both worlds—no overtime, rigid time system.
