My boss hates it when I am late so I have to speed to get to work somewhat on time.  Is it right for his hate to make me break the law?

I don't care what my boss hates. He won't fire me because he' a cheap barstid and doesn't want to pay unemployment!

Just put it to him plain and simple (but try not to place the blame back on him - he clearly can't handle it).  Say something like: "This is such an unusual request, I'm sure I would have remembered if you had asked me."  Then just move on.  Ask him what he wants you to do and when he needs to get it done.  Try to be gracious.  Unfortunately, it sounds like your boss is a jerk.  We've all been there...

lol well I once had a boss that was really anal about time, so I would show up early, stand by the time clock till I was 2 min late, then punch in lol\n\nit was a little protest for being yelled at for being 2 min late one day, you would have though I did a no call no show.

Being on time is a respect issue,\nhe apparently does not respect you or your family, talk to him about this issue. about respect

there are no laws... but in the employer's policies there might be something about being sent home early.  Like where I work, we do not have to go unless we want to and they can not work us less than 4 hours unless we want to work less.

The stock answer is that the law in this matter should cut both ways. Rea;ity is that this is not always the case. Some will find it hard to believe that any man can be offended by the actions you describe, so be ready for some flack if you go through with filing a complaint. Realize that to make your position unassailable that you should first let your boss know that you find her actions totally inappropriate. If she persists drive on and do what you have to do.

Yes u do have all the right to be mad at him..\nHe is chickening out..A golf game and for that matter any game can never be more important than spending time with loved ones..\nAlso he is in a way trying to show u who the boss is..you are on dangerous grounds..u got to think with ur head without any emotion influencing it..\nThink a lot before u say or do anything..this is about ur life so dont take it cool

This is because managers want you at work when you are supposed to be there.  If you have a schedule of work hours - you are scheduled between those specific hours for a reason, so that they have coverage to conduct their business.  Being late & absent regularly does not put you in favor with your manager.  They are not looking to do you favors & help you out, let's just be realistic.  By them telling you that the hours can't be made up, they are sort of punishing you too.  I am sure you don't get paid for hours that you don't work so they aren't going to reward you for being late by allowing you to make up the time & money.

He can't tell you who is saying it but you can ask him to talk to this person.  Perhaps they have a personal vendetta against you.  Your boss should have enough experience to help this person get over whatever it is they think is wrong. Just let your boss know that you feel attacked by all of these false charges and that you want people to take the open door policy more serious, not just complain whenever they want to.

My boss is a world-class jerk. He rewards the slackers and puts all of the work on the high performers. He should be relieved of his duties.

you must tell you boss all about it.. give a good notice period and wait for the reaction.. no matter what it was you did what you had to do and he is the one who will feel bad if he reacted in a disrespectfull way

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

Wellll, hmmmm\n\nIf you don't want to wreck the place, or call people names, or do anything that your boss can take you to court for to get paid for - like wrecking things, losing clients, and running up the phone bill...\n\n...then you could refuse to do work you disagree with\n...be late repeatedly\n...leave work early without telling anyone\n...be absent repeatedly\n...take unscheduled breaks frequently\n...make your lunch hour last and last - day after day\n...if you have a computer at work download a \n   messenger and chat the day away. \n\nIf you do all of these it really shouldn't take long before you find yourself on the unemployment line.

Lawsuit?  Absolutely not.  I can't think of anything he did wrong but be an idiot.  But I don't think you're wrong to have been a little creeped out.  That's ridiculously unprofessional behavior, and quite juvenile.  Does your boss happen to be 6?\n\nIf he remains to be that way for the next 2 weeks you can consider not finishing the 2 weeks.  I told my boss I was giving him two weeks once and he said, "You F***ed me.  You F***ed me."  Kinda felt reassured to know why exactly I was leaving.  You should feel the same way.

If this is continuing I would explain to the officer that having him come to your workplace is causing you distress. Ask him politley if you can go to his station and discuss the matter with him there when you are not working.\nIf you are curteous and explain yourself he probably would be happy to accomidate you. Just make sure that you show up when you have made an appointment.
