Yesterday, I’m minding my own business when bam; HR hits me up with a curveball.
They want to chat about one of our "dedicated" employees. Seems this guy clocked out at 9:30 PM. Only problem? His shift ends at 3:00 PM.
Now here’s where it turns into premium cable. See, we’ve got these adorable little things around the building, maybe you’ve heard of them cameras. Oh, and our time clock? It’s not some punch card dinosaur. Nope. It’s high-tech. Facial recognition. Every time someone clocks in or out, their mug gets front-row billing.
So, naturally, we review the footage. And boom it’s him. Plain as day. We pull him aside, and what does he do?
Denies. Everything.
Apparently, he believes either:
- He’s being deep-faked by Skynet, or
- He has a criminally-inclined twin sneaking around, impersonating him just to clock out six hours late.
I’ll give it to him, it’s a bold strategy.
Now, because we’re saints (and mildly entertained), we give him a mulligan. Adjusted the time, kept it moving.
You’d think the guy would be grateful, right?
Wrong.
Today: no-call, no-show.
You seriously. Can't make this shit up!
