Accused!

Posted on July 8, 2010 | No Comments

I easily empathize with a friend. She told me that her boss accused her of time sheet tampering once and she really threw a fit when she realized the absurd accusation. Of course she wouldn’t do that. She has nurtured a good reputation for the past ten years she’s been working in the company and she wouldn’t tarnish that reputation with the tampering she was being accused of.

The problem started when she had her ID changed to reflect her married name. The human resources staff asked her to wait for it and for the meantime just log in her time in and out manually. That’s what she did. She couldn’t use the barcode scanner because they blocked her old ID already. Her only mistake was not to put the exact time of her in and out. She rounded it off to the nearest hour. But she wasn’t even guilty of any tardiness or undertime so my friend couldn’t see where the big fuss was about.

In the end, her boss apologized to her for the insinuation. It was a big misunderstanding, according to her, but my friend knew all along what she was accused of. At least the big bosses in their department knew her very well not to have believed her immediate superior.
