Should I confront boss?

I haven't been at this job very long& when there was a meeting for the new employees to go over the handbook,they did it before I was scheduled to work then told me to just read the highlighted items by myself. I let them know today that I was going to be late 30 minutes, 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there. The company is small &usually laid back but they wrote me up saying its policy to call 30 minutes before my shift. The manager who wrote me up also spoke to me about another employee&I socializing too much and basically threatened me to "hustle" or I could be fired. No one spoke to the other employee about this issue. I feel like this manager has a personal problem with me&I have no idea why. I'm technically parttime &have already been told by another manager they put more into their fulltime employees&parttime doesnt matter. I want to talk to the owner(like i said,small company.)Should I talk to the manager w/ the issue first?Or ask to talk to both together or forget it

honestly I freakin hustle and there are people around me that will just stand there. And I wasn't given the handbook meeting like everyone else therefore I did not know about the 30 minute policy.

I wouldn't talk to both of the managers together, as they could 'team up' against you. Generally, I'd say speak with one manager at a time, let them know your concerns, and show your side of the story. Don't get heated. Fighting, yelling, etc won't help your case at all. If that doesn't work I'd go ahead and speak with their higher ups.

One thing--I keep a voice recorder in my pocket at all times and record my conversations, to back my story up later

yes

calling in 15 minutes before the shift wasn't acceptable, especially since the company's policy is a 30 minute notice. Sorry, but when you work for someone else you have to go by their rules. Good luck, and no, I wouldn't confront anyone about it.

tell you the truth I know its frustrating, but your better off just letting it go

confront the manager, ask them strait up. it's a job, you can always get another

If you haven't been there very long, and you are new to their rules, then you are in no position to confront them.

Follow the rules and "hustle."

GOING OVER THE MANAGER'S HEAD WILL ONLY MAKE HIM ANGRY, AND WILL PROBABLY ONLY CAUSE YOU MORE MISFORTUNE! YOU SHOULD TRY RESOLVING ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS WITH THE MANAGER HIMSELF! IF YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS THEN MAYBE THAT PLACE ISNT FOR YOU!

talk to this company's biggest boss!!!!

First try adjusting your attitude and being more on the ball. If you are really meeting all their expectations and the harassment continues, talk to your manager and see what's up. Involve the owner only if you find its an issue like discrimination or such. He / she does not want to be bothered with part timers whining about his manager.

I would talk with my direct supervisor first, since that is the chain of command.

it would probably be a good idea to bring it up with the manager, especially if you're feeling that it's personal. Let him or her know that it bothered you, especially if this other employee, who may or may not be part time, wasn't talked to.

good luck!

I think you should speak to both of them about it. It wasn't fair to you that they went over the handbook with the other employees and told you to read it yourself. Did they give you a chance to ask questions regarding the handbook after you read it? Does the handbook state that you're supposed to call in late 30 minutes before you're scheduled to come in? I think that's just petty. Sometimes you don't know you're going to arrive late until the last minute (unexpected traffic, etc.). Speak to them now before you do something else which may get you written up again. Also, make sure you study the handbook so you don't get in trouble by not following their silly rules in the future. Good luck!

just keep your cool and try not to be late~ dont confront anyone it will put fuel to the fire!

talk to the nicest person in charge. and the owner. this petty stuff takes away from valuable company time that, although it is extremely important to you, there are way more productive things to be done as far as a business is concerned. it looks like these faulty managers are not really looking after the company's best interest. i would go to the owner and just tell him a short summary of the situation and how you feel about it. tell him that all you want to do is your job and do good. You feel that this is wasteful of the company's time and that you don't want to be singled out. any reasonable boss/company owner should see the right and wrong of the situation.

If you are the type that will not call in for being late very often then you want to tell the boss that this was a one time deal and you want him/her to understand this. Include the fact that you value your job and do not want to risk hurting your chances to remain working there. A bit of kiss *** is needed for some. Some bosses have an ego that needs to be stroked from time to time. It is sad but true. Get on the boss's good side. No need to go to the owner. This may give reason for the boss to feel you are going around them and threaten their ego. Do you job well and be on time.

I wouldn't bother the owner, read the handbook and start following the rules from mthis point forward. I would just try to do you job and leave the issue alone.

as employee we are bound to the company rules and regulation any violation against their rule must be treated accordingly. This is not a hustle for us if we commit violation or infractions against the company rule that we recieved any warning. It is normal to a boss to remind us the company policy, maybe if we commit violation for the first time the company gave us stern warning before they gave us heavy punishments.
