Manager: Frank, i've been looking at your timecards, and I notice that you don't punch in 5 minutes before your start time ?
Me: Yes ma'am, that is correct. I punch in at my scheduled start time.
Manager: Why is that ?
Me: I just don't.
Manager: But why ?
Me: Why should I ? Is it mandatory to punch in 5 minutes before the scheduled start time ?
Manager: No Frank, its not mandatory for you to punch in 5 minutes before your start time, but Frank you're missing out on FREE MONEY !
Me: What ? FREE MONEY ? Since when did Fedex start giving out FREE MONEY ?
Manager: Frank ? You're missing out on 25 minutes/week, that could be in your paycheck !
Me: Do I look like I'm that hard up for money ? I have too many other things going on in my life at this time, to be staked out at the time clock with a bunch of other couriers desperately waiting to punch in 5 minutes early. No disrespect, but I just can't do it !
Manager: Well, like I said, you're missing out on FREE MONEY.
Me: Okay, whatever you say, but I also recall several times when I did punch in 5 minutes early you and the other ops manager kept telling me I was in the building too long ! That's the other reason why I don't punch in early, because I felt like I was being harassed by management.
Manager: I only recall asking you about your length of time in the building maybe once.
Me: Its been more than once, and I could give you the dates and times if you're interested.
