    In the convenience store story, I completely blame the manager. There should have been a written list of everything that needed to be done and who needed to do what when. Plus, the manager should have handled Richard a lot better by asking op questions and observing their work. Terrible management.

      You've obviously never worked in a convenience store. The manager's time is spent with doing all of the accounting paperwork for the store, depending on if it is corporate or a single place of business this paperwork can take hours.. You double-check that every employee who was on a till has correctly counted out, find anything missing, count all the money in the safe, and then balance the registers for the entire day, not just one shift. Check the stock levels in the back, and make sure that your supplier knows what they need to bring on the next truck, etc, etc, etc. It always feels like a never ending shift. Every employee is trained for what they should be doing by someone who has been doing the job, if they can't remember that checklists can be provided in some stores, but it isn't that difficult to figure out if you've been doing the job for more than a month. Convenience stores function on 'bare minimum' employees, so managers have to get everything financial finished before the bank closes, get it to the bank, get everyone's payroll figured out, double-check that no one is stealing, respond to any incident reports, and lest we forget this is a convenience store which means high turnover, read through any new applications and either file them for call back if/when someone gives notice, or circular file them if they aren't a good fit. Sure, your local McDonald's might have a manager running around telling the crew their jobs every five minutes, but in a gas station you're expected to know your job.

      @@randomizer1666 Your business lost a minimum of 12 hours worth of overtime payroll when it could have taken one hour of time to talk to both parties and delineate tasks and timelines. I have no doubt that the manager is super busy but it's absolutely their job to sort this kind of thing out and if they can't, then that's something they need to delegate. If they can't trust an employee to do their job then that employee isn't a good fit for your model of organization, which still falls back onto the manager for not hiring or disciplining correctly. There's literally no way to spin this story, at least as we know it, to where the store didn't suffer as a direct result of poor leadership.

    For the person that was "playing manager", they just really had a great concept of time. I'd say they were akin to a shift lead or something. If they have a work list, perhaps it'd be better to make it time-sensitive. It runs that way for overnights at my store. Before I was promoted to night manager it was "here's the list, here's the time frame, ready, go!" And we pretty much were flying by the seat of our pants until we found a rhythm with each specific coworker.

    Wow, I have ADHD and... if I was unmedicated, I don't think I'd be able to handle all of that. As soon as OP suggested letting Richard do the scheduling, my knowledge of my own executive functioning issues just... I cringed at the thought of how well that would go. You can barely keep track of your OWN tasks, much less those of OTHER people if you haven't practiced coping mechanisms. Manager should've also worked with Richard to create a list of some kind, for sure. If it wasn't needed before Richard's arrival at the company, it was certainly needed after, at least for his benefit! I don't really blame OP, mind you, because honestly? They were just pointing out a huge flaw in the system which was that Richard wasn't being properly managed. I don't really blame Richard either, though I think he clearly needs to work on how he handles his disorder, therapy and coping mechanisms and medication (if needed) can be life-changers. I'd also suggest some self-awareness, which would have told him the fact that no, he definitely shouldn't be in charge of any kind of scheduling of tasks.
    My current retail job doesn't have a list of things to do, actually, but I've written one down (after working for several weeks with my coworkers learning how to close and open the store) and I keep it in my purse just to glance over before I leave to make sure I've done everything I need to. But yeah, yikes @ that story.

    I had a boss that loved to take credit for other people’s work.
    Now I had written a couple of programs that really simplified our jobs. I come back after a long weekend to find he had tried to take credit for my work. I explained to his boss that I had written them.he gets called in to explain the the program and of course couldn’t.
    Humiliated by this I’m instructed to place documentation (comments) in my code, so he could understand them. So here comes malicious compliance enters. I can speak a little bit of German (I have a Military certification as a translator). All my programs started to use German names for variables, and German in the comments section.
    Surprisingly the program develops a bug, he is called in to explain the problem. He can’t, so his boss prints off the (my) program and realizes it’s in German (not the syntax, but variables and comments). The big boss realizes only one person spoke German, and I get dragged in to the office to explain myself. I explain that I was upset with this guy ripping of my work and claiming it as his own.
    The next few hours I get grilled by the big boss, and it became very clear that I had written all of the productivity tools. My immediate supervisor is called in and in confronted with all the listings, and asked to go through line-by-line. Obviously he couldn’t explain anything.
    My former “boss” now drives a taxi cab, and can’t get a job back in the computer industry.
    A shorter second story, I had a young guy assigned to me and I was to “teach him”. He was a quick learner and very smart. I asked for a meeting with my manager & director. I had written him up, for a bonus award, which thankfully management agreed with. I don’t think that to this day that he knew it was me that recommend him.
    In the Army I had a Major, his philosophy was simple: “If you look good, I look good”. Meaning he had recognized talent, and promoted it. It was not his job to kill tanks, that was my job as a gunner. His job was the get the Squadron in a position that the gunners could kill tanks.

      That Kronos one isn't messing with times though, if they clocked out at 2008 they'd get paid until 2015. It's hourly rate broken into quarterly payments. A lot of companies do that, you just don't know/realize it because honestly it's negligible. One day they round down the next they round up, or your on point.

      @@hattrick8684 Except not, it rounded to the time the center closed, regardless of how long they worked past that. Note the "5 or 15 minutes" that calls at "19:59 or 20:00" could easily last. They'd have to round to the half hour or full hour for that to still round down, which it sounded like it did. Either that, or do what it sounded like the OP was saying, which was simply cutting hours off (auto-clocking you out) at closing time.
      My brother worked at a company that did that. He quit, because his job required him to stay for upwards of an hour past closing time every day he worked. He calculated it as costing him his month's gas bill every week, and given that he had to drive for half an hour each way to get to and from work, that's a lot. He now works for more per hour, closer to home, with less shit on his plate, and no timesheet fuckery. They actually round up to the quarter if you work more than five minutes of said quarter hour.

      I worked a job where it wasn't essential for all of us to start at the same time, so we had "flexi-time". You could start or quit within an hour either side of the nominal starting and quitting times so long as your accumulated time deficit or credit didn't go over certain limits. If you got too deep into a time deficit, you had to get rid of the deficit by working longer hours for a while else risk being fired, but if you got a day's worth of credit or more (you could accumulate up to 3 days worth), you could ask for time off, which would generally be granted so long as it wasn't too busy.
      It was a pretty good job all around. Government job, which is why it had such good conditions.

      I got fired from a home security customer service job because I was back late from lunch by a matter of seconds one too many times.
      They had an "occurrences" system where you get a ding for even being a second late back from break/lunch.
      Well, at the time, they were canceling breaks and pushing back lunches because the call queue was always 30 mins plus, and the goal was under 5 mins. Why they thought moving lunch break back would fix it is beyond me, but there it is. I suggested to the company that if we're expected to be precise on our time, they need to precise on our time as well and honor scheduled breaks and lunches. If they couldn't, they should implement a policy of reducing the number of occurrences at half the rate they accrued. They said "this is against policy".
      So, I eventually maxed out occurrences and got fired. De escalated 3 phone calls that week that were asking for a manager and raging mad when they first called in. If they can't respect my time and don't value my skills, then I don't want to work there anyway.

    Sorta feel bad for the first guy (Richard). He was a guy who clearly works best as an assistant/follower, mistakenly trying to act as a leader. My guess is, he never had to shoulder that sort of responsibility before and just bit off more than he could handle.
    Everyone works differently, he sounds a lot like me; in need of making either lists and reminders to keep track of everything. Alternatively, working as part of a team that doesn’t mind planning things out so long as you do your share of the work is great if you are lucky enough, but that should just be a crutch until you can learn to manage things yourself.
    These things come with experience and self reflection. You just have to be willing to put in the effort and work to overcome your weaknesses.
    (And play to your strengths. I’ve made multiple excel spreadsheets to help calculate everything from taxes (adding and removing), dividing gratuity for shift workers based on their position, cost-profit analysis for late night events and if it is worth staying open and pay this band again, etc. being reusable with a few variables. And even make them for other employees when I can.)

    Something to note about the Richard with ADHD: I have ADHD, and some common symptoms include poor organization, forgetfulness, executive dysfunction (task importance and switching tasks), procrastination, and poor time management. They're not well-publicized issues, but they're big issues regardless. Sounds to me like Richard needs some assistance with managing his symptoms. Whether that involves medication or not depends on him and his circumstances. But if simply having an employee buddy to remind him when it's time to switch tasks or start tasks is enough to help, then he should be just fine coping with task managing techniques.
    In short, Richard wasn't trying to be a 'Richard' on purpose. Richard was just frustrated with his own condition and trying to break free of his coping mechanisms. Turns out Richard needs those coping mechanisms.

    Electrician? Yeah reverse the genders and you have my parents. Only my father would just thing the world is insane. (He really has not even grocery shopped in forty years. So out of touch on pricing.)
    As to the office. . . I have now been both those workers and the manager having to tell them to do things that messed up. As insane as middle management might seem sometimes. Remember they have bosses too. And this idiocy trickles down hill. Example, I work in a distribution warehouse. We send materials to many sites and companies. My boss tells me we don't see that much work. Just hold it till 1655 then do them all. The pickup window opens at 1700. He has also told me to make a pickup driver (UPS carrier mind) to wait an hour while he wrote a sales order and sent it down to be filled. Obviously I ignored him on this. So because I ignored him on keeping drivers. He demanded this schedule. I was the only one that worked till close. Everyone else in the building leaves at 1700. Except one salesman to take calls till 2000. So I stay on to get those orders and drop them off on my way home. So what is the crew to do from 0800 to 1655? Sweep and count the inventory. We do this for two days. The crew pulling orders for me in the last five minutes and me frantically trying to process them all to get some of the stuff on the contracted trucks. I prioritized the large but simple orders. Like get me two cases of X. Put those bulky items on the carrier trucks. And I would do small parts on my own later. Then the crew left promptly at 1700. Yep pulled for five minutes and gone. We had more than a few errors as I filled in for my team. Then I had a scheduled in advance day off that Wednesday. My boss had to fill in for me on his policy. He did not come down to even see the orders till 1645. According to my guys he went white as a sheet. Begging them to stay. Now just a bit of clarity. My boss? He is also one of the salesmen sending me orders. One of. He did not know the volumes of the other salesmen and assumed they did far less than he did. He was wrong. My guys cheerfully clocked out in rapid succession at 1700 to leave him manning the phones and the entire warehouse himself. He had to load the company van, twice. One for each of the major package carriers, as nothing got to their trucks and they would not wait for him. The next day when I came in I got coffee, sat at my desk and began correcting every inventory mistake made and noting each one. Putting items in our tracking log. And noting the errors. So when the owner came down to demand to know why he had over a dozen complaint calls from good customers I let him vent. Including much profanity that I am told no one else in the building would tolerate. Then I calmly showed him the work instructions. My replies on it being a fool idea. The logs of errors noted for the night my manager filled in as well as the no overtime note I had gotten for my crew. Then reminded him, I wasn't even here that day. He stormed off. Later that day I got an email indicating I could run the warehouse as I saw fit again. Our error rate dropped back to near zero and only the late orders ever had to be dropped off. One or two items at most.

The good thing was, you could manually adjust things in case you forgot to clock in, or if you talk to your supervisor and approval to adjust your time card. But now we have a lame system called SAP. Now, we have a 7 minute time frame between our standard clock in and out time. Sure it’s good to clock in and out 7 minutes early/late, but if you’re 8 minutes late or clock out a minute too early, that’s 15 minutes on you.

    Kronos rounds to 15 minute incremental. 7 rounds to 0. 8 minutes rounds to 15. If you clock in 5 minutes early you won't be paid for it, unless you spend an extra 3 minutes after, that 8 rounds to 15 minutes pay. It also means that with 5 minutes early clock in, everything from 3 minutes after to 17 minutes after will round of to 15minutes extra pay.

    The Extra breaks for the employee in question might be a “reasonable accommodation” worked out between the employer and himself. To me I would leave this between “Richard” and the company.
    It kind of pisses me off because OP seems to get a shit ton of “reasonable accommodations” for OP’s disabilities... Two people with ADHD/OCD banging horns?

    • @SilverMe2004
      @SilverMe2004 5 лет назад +2

      what r u talking about? what “reasonable accommodations” did OP get?
      Also "Extra breaks" can not be a private "“reasonable accommodation” ... between the employer and himself". It needs to be cleared with the co-workers.
      'Extra breaks' is right up there with 'Pay myself out of the till'
      Now we have only got OP's perspective on this but the way I see it; Dick didn't want to put in the effort to keep up with OP so instead asked (through the manager) for OP to slow down, maliciouscompliance, now Rick has to work harder anyway
      It sounds like you have a different perspective on this and I would like to hear it

      probably breaks to deal with his frustrations or something like that.
      also they can.considering the employer can not disclose things about disabilities and reasonable accommodations for several legal reasons having to do with ada and hippa.
      Richard displayed all the symptoms/common problems with adhd.so he was trying but he can't do much cause of his adhd.

    • @starandfox601
      @starandfox601 5 лет назад +1

      @Liz Lee you're the one that's being the condensing one considering you think everyone's experience with adhd is exactly like yours.also it can be depending on the situation.you also think everyone should be happy all the time and that everyone should get rewards when working when that isn't how most places work.
      we have no idea what's full going on with him fully and he also could have more then just adhd going on that he doesn't want discussed for some reason.
      you also just admitted the problem is not richard but management for butting both parties in that situation.

    The last comment reminded me of something.
    Me and a colleague were between 2 project. So a nothing to do. One of the sites did send back a petrol generator that was not working. We found that the spark plug was bad and the cable to it too.
    Changed that and it start to work. After seeing the condition of the spark plug and 6 hour of the shift we thought it needed a service. As we just start our boss walk in we told him we got it working but needed more service. He flat out told us how stupid we were to repair something that wasn't broken. He firmily told us to stop and put it back so he can send it out. We tried to explaining that but the looks of the spark plug something was really worg. He would have none of it. And shut us down every time we tried to explaining. Ok then. Next week we did here that the team that got the generator run it for like an hour before it destruction strikes. They were said they were forced to rent one and it costed boss man 1000$+.
    One of the guy told us that the problem would have been a easy fix and like 10$. Now it was definitely worth noting and boseman loses 990$ + a new generator

    You should have looked in the comments of the first story.

Heard the story read by another person before yours.

    All companies have added cost to labor, example if an employee is making $12.00 a company will figure cost of insurance and benefits etc. Plus a profit on the labor. Maybe 10% $1.20
    Insurance is .01% or $0.12 other benefits say .02% or 0.24 that would be $1.56 +$12.00 = $ 13.56
    Different companies have different expenses so it can vary amongst companies.
    In 1998 our company stated that their avg. Hourly cos was 18.00$ per hour per Employee.... this included all salaried and hourly from CEO, office management, labor, infrastructure etc.
