Marking Time Until You’re Called To HR
I work with three other coworkers. We do not like [Coworker #1]. She likes to track the times we are in and out, and no one is allowed to do that. [Coworker #2], [Coworker #3] and I are in [Coworker #3]’s cube near our signout board.
[Coworker #1] walks over to the board and writes down where she is going. She turns to walk away.
[Coworker #3] is in the middle of a sentence.
Coworker #3: “…and I just don’t understand — 12:49! — why they did that; it is so tacky.”
[Coworker #2] and I look at her in shock.
Us: “Did you just say that out loud?!”
Coworker #3: “What?”
Me: “You just said the time really loudly as [Coworker #1] walked away. “
Coworker #3: “Oh, I guess because I was looking at the clock when she signed out and it was stuck in my head and it just came out.”
Us: “You better tell our boss what you did before she complains that you are marking her time.”
