Irritated here. Someone who apparently doesn't have enough work to do bc they watch my every move has been clockwatching me when I'm in the office. They made a complaint that went to my boss's boss who then raised it to my boss. I explained I had spent less time in the office for about a week bc my husband was out of town and I was handling both pick up and drop off for daycare. During that week, I logged on after hours to finish up. There have been zero complaints about my actual work. (Cont)

(Cont) my boss had my back and thought the whole thing was really petty, and even said he'd approve whatever schedule I needed. He even said he'd go to bat for me to his boss. I told him better to just leave it be bc this whole thing is stupid (among other things). Here's the other kicker - half my team is remote, including my own boss! And the other offices are apparently very lax. Moving forward, I'll just try to make extra effort and give my boss a heads up when I'll be in later, but this is really stupid. We're all professionals here, and this isn't kindergarten. Have you ever dealt with a hidden clockwatcher?

I don’t think it’s right but so many of us have been in a role where we work so hard and others are online barely 5 hours a day and we pick up their slack (months and months). It can be frustrating. However it doesn’t sound like this is your situation. And a week is nothing even if you barely worked (what happens when you are sick?). This doesn’t sound like it was handled well and wasn’t warranted…not your coworkers responsibility either.

Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
