My previous boss stepped down about two months ago. The clinical director stepped in to take over in the interim until a new supervisor for our team was hired.
He's an insufferable prick, typical sociopath-like manager type, intimidating to talk to and has no clue about how our job works, and he's hardly around to learn about it. However, with that said, the good thing that comes from his cluelessness and absence, is that he is so out of touch with the job requirements that he has NO clue what my actual start time is supposed to be. I was hired to begin my shift at 8am, but that got lost in translation of my boss leaving, and a high HR turnover, including the HR Director resigning and having not yet been replaced,. So now, the clinical director has been out of the loop of when I am actually supposed to be here, additionally, I work alone in this specific office and he's rarely around. Anyway, he finally hired someone as my direct supervisor. She is okay, I like her enough, not great, but not awful. The best part being however, is that I am SO late every single day, and no one really has been in charge for months, that my new boss, and our clinical director both think my start time is 9am, and that I am showing up early when I clock in at 830 every day. When in reality, I am thirty minutes late. Every. Single. Day. but the director, my boss, and HR, all believe 9am is my official start time. So, since I have been clocking in at 830 consistently, they both now have been praising me for "arriving thirty minutes before your shift every day!" , when I am actually thirty minutes late, or more.
As if I am going to correct them and tell them that I have been so late, that the company thinks my lateness is me being on time? In fact, payroll has been giving me approved overtime for clocking in at 830, believing that 9am is my regular time as well!
Transitioning managers for sure sucks ass, because it it disrupts the workflow, and requires getting used to new management styles out of people you know nothing about and who bring a whole new energy and vibe to the workplace, but in this case, there is a blazing silver lining benefiting me in a marvelous way.
And no, I am not worried about them figuring it out, because HR confirmed my start time to my boss, since the new people there are just as clueless. Time ClockWork February 09, 2026 at 1:50 pm01

Someday HR is going to find that paperwork buried in a file that the former director left behind, and man, you're going to be very sorry for this dumb, immature , little middle-school game you're playing! You're not winning, btw. I have worked in human resources for nearly twenty years at the same company, and we sometimes do slip up, but always figure stuff out. We terminate several employees like you a year for this very sort of entirely unprofessional behavior and violation of policy. HR Lady 2 hours ago
dude, they are going to figure it out. human resources isn't as stupid as you think they are. They track employees for a reason. They are going to put the pieces together. You should get your resume together because you might be looking for a new job soon moron! anonymous 2 hours ago
Huh....interesting. Your supervisor is the clinical director. This mean you work in a medical setting or a hospital? That means you're probably a nurse (those most populated profession in healthcare), of course you could be something entirely different, but that isn't what matters. What matters if that you work in a chosen career field where you have high expectations of behavior and presentation on the job. You are responsible for the care of other people, yet you are this dishonest and manipulative? See, people are hearing these sort of stories all the time about healthcare workers, watching Reels and TikToks where you are all acting this way, and thinking it is cute and hilarious. Then, society loses trust in medicine and medical workers, because of that, and that isn't too great since you all did a number on yourselves during COVID with how you acted like medical fascists over masks and vaccines, only for later to find out COVID was only as serious as a regular cold or flu, masks did nothing, and the vaccines were not only useless, but toxic and dangerous and now people are suffering the long-term effects of that poison you forced onto people.
The public truth in healthcare has been forever damaged, and instead of many of you doing what you can redeem it, you pull stunts like this. All you're saying basically saying is ,"Screw my patients, they aren't important enough for me to be on time to take care of them," that is what people read in this post! It isn't a flex, and you aren't doing yourself , nor your profession and collogues any favors. Rae 2 hours ago
@ Rae, I agree and I'd like to add all that you commented by asking OP, when did you nurses become so damn trashy? Seriously though! When??? I am a man in my late-60's and have watched the profession of nursing go to absolute hell over the course of about thirty to thirty-five years. I would think that nursing school would transform a woman into a refined, well groomed, respectful woman with a sense of duty and integrity to others, but it seems like modern nurses are utter garbage people. I see tattoos, piercings, colored hair. They wear ridiculous looking scrubs with dumb cartoons on them, t-shirts with their scrub pants, and they are overall means girls with act snarky, condescending, judgey, and rude to patients. Nearly every nurse I've ever dealt with has been so dismissive and snotty with me, and with my family as well. Acting like they are too good to the job they made a decision to go into. I feel like dumb girls become nurses now because it seems like nursing school has been SO easy to get into, and every community college offers a program, so it is simply to just sign up and go, then act like they really did something heroic. Most end up just getting married to a doctor anyway, and then quitting. There are very few older nurses I've noticed, and I realized that is because most of these broads aren't staying in the job past about thirty years old.
I remember when nurses used to be the most eloquent, demure, and structured women. They walked into a room, were groomed, wearing their pressed and starched crisp white uniforms, shiny shoes, caps with their hair pulled neatly up and back in a tight bun. They carried themselves proudly, not arrogantly or with conceit, but confidence and knowledge. They demanded respect when they walked in, and you got quiet and listened to them be firm, yet gentle. They were efficient, apt, and their skills shined. They were basically the ones who carried the hospital, and were the defining look of medicine. You always felt secure around a nurse and trusting. They were truly great women, even off duty, were women you could count on. Their sense of duty and esteem drove them. Then over time, it was slow progression, watching nurses start to wear those baggy ugly scrubs, stupid looking cloggy shoes, and now Crocs, slump around with strands of hair hanging out, acting constantly irritated, and looking like they partied all night before and are working with a hang-over and coochie full of some rando guy's white stuff, because it seems modern nurses have become a bunch of promiscuous sluts too for some reason. It is just such a let down and so disappointing to have watched this happen. I have no respect for a woman who goes around with a chip on her shoulder anyway, but especially if she is beating her chest about being a nurse. I know she is garbage! SL Brand 1 hour ago
