Always thought I was the most law abiding person until I attended a recent webinar in work. It was about "time theft" & how doing anything other than work tasks in work time is stealing from the company. Based on my daily routine I feel like Al Capone - ThreadSky

That's a toxic work culture. They expect you to be a robot. I'd be out of there straight away.

Artifical Intelligence Capone?

This sounds like a terrible place to work.

My best mate only shites at his work during the week.

Move jobs now. Any company viewing inputs rather than outputs isn’t worth working for.

Funny how these companies never hold webinars about wage theft.

Used to work in retail. Did out-of-hours call-outs when the store alarms got set off (got a great fess about one incident). Regularly worked way over my contracted hours for fuck all overtime. One morning, I turned up 15 minutes late – having got to bed at 2am after a call-out. Got a disciplinary.

Because fuck you that's why. Capitalism is great!

carlbateman.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I wonder if they discussed unpaid work and "wage theft".

mfelps.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Everyone is like that. It's why they have those webinars. Even the person running the webinar is like that.

that webinar was life theft

Time theft is the extra time you spend working but aren't paid for

billhayden65.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Like your commute, for instance.

stronglikebear.bsky.social•18 hours ago

No. Exactly not like your commute, unless you spend that time working.

outabidagain.bsky.social•17 hours ago

are you doing it because your job requires you to? do you lose time by doing it? then it should be compensated.

stronglikebear.bsky.social•16 hours ago

No. If your job requires you to be at a certain (fixed) place between certain hours, then it’s entirely your responsibility to be there on time. You could move closer to work.

No. It is unpaid time related to work.

delburton.bsky.social•20 hours ago

This is a huge red flag.

treveli.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Just remember, when you see your boss needs help with something that's not your job, "Sorry boss. That'd be time theft."

I've got quite a few Al Capones at work!

justhere4coffee.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Now you need to check with your colleagues about who's actually getting paid for all their hours, including overtime; "wage theft" is a much bigger issue than time theft ever will be, and an accusation like this from management is a huge confession that they're ripping you all off!

richinglasgow.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Time theft, what a fucking notion. If you want a robot, fucking hire one.

organik.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Fuck that company

plodinnotts.bsky.social•18 hours ago

on the one hand, not steaing time is fundamental to who I am - on the other, if my bosses started lecturing me on it boy would I be a-thievin'. And most of my wasted time is due to bosses trying to bond, enforced"fun" and utterly unnecessary meetings

My take would be, if you are working for a major global corporation that likely make hundreds of millions in profit a year, you are more like Robin Hood.

mike20000.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I read this during my 30 minute going for a poo break at work.

redmanc86.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I would care but then my work makes us get together for lunches every other week and we are away from desk for 4/5 hours, just to eat a sandwich in the same room. None of it matters.

grumpymuppet.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Sounds like that webinar was time theft

bluesky133.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I only go shoplifting during my workday. Double bubble

merijn.nu•20 hours ago

This is what everyone does. Also just overestimate your time logged by 50% and nobody will mind

djeebee.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Don't feel guilty, that's called real life. I'd look for a new job though, any company putting its staff through that webinar must be fascistic at best.
