Question about a situation.
Today at work the manager got me a little mad. He told me, not asked. Told me to clock in early (10min) I refused and said no I'm going to wait for my time. *smile and smirk* He gave me a look and asked me.. You're not going to clock in? (raised voice)..... I said no... U can't make me. He said that he could fire me for insubordination... I said. How? I'm not even on the clock, I could just walk outside and act like I'm not here..... At the end I clocked in beause the other manager asked nicely lol.
My question: can he really fire me if he wants me to clock in before my time? Or make me stay passed my schedule?

Sounds like a typical ex army guy, all bark and no bite... Lol.
he could fire you for whatever he wants, he is the boss. I would just chill in my car until it is time to clock in, or just do it and work,as hard as possible to make him look like an *** to his superiors.

He would just fire you for no reason while your on the clock.
Businesses have a lot of power over their employees.. And with California being an "at-will employment" state, they can let you go for literally no reason at all.

Depends on why he needs you to cloak in early. But, if he intends for you to continue to work your entire shift, he has to pay you for the time you clocked in early. He cannot by law, make you start work early without paying you for it. Unless, he lets you go home early to make up for it.

yeah bro, try and conserve your job. I've been unemployed for over a year now and its a bitch to find anything that pays enough to cover the bills and toys. At the same time talk to that f#cker and tell him youre not a kid, tone down the attitude and you wont mind going out of your way and doing a little extra work.

I'm a small business owner and after reading your post, you would be in position to be black balled. Call it brown nosing or whatever you want to but the fact of the matter remains you let down the company you work for by not getting started those measily ten minutes early. I HAD an employee just like you and saw this "I work my shift, no more no less" attitude and it affects those around that are busting their butt to make a difference. I'm not saying totally cave into the man but wait until it's your time to bring any personal issues you may have with him to HR.

Next week there'll be a thread; "I mouthed off to the person who writes my paycheck, anyone know of a McDonalds that's hiring?"
My boss used to tell me to come in 15 minutes early to clean up metal shavings around the CNC machines, and start the bandsaw for the day's work, and stay later to do the same before the night guy showed up. I'd be there about 9 hours yet was paid for 8. The other guy that sat at the table until 7:01 in the morning was first to go when it came to lay-off time. Yeah, nobody can tell you to do anything. You're an adult. Take the initiative and be a better employee, and chances are you're less likely to be treated like a little kid, in the long run.
