Serious question, a foreman at a Dallas jobsite gave me one line about my timesheet and it cost me $400
Two winters back I was doing punch list work on a hotel remodel near downtown Dallas. The foreman, this older guy named Ray, looked at my Friday timesheet and said I should stop rounding my hours down to the half. I brushed it off because I wanted to look like a team player and not nickle and dime the company. Six months later I added up what I had been shorting myself. Roughly $400 in 30 minute chunks I never billed. Ray had been right. He even said it straight to my face that the company counts every minute and so should I. Now I clock in and out to the exact minute and write the real number. Has anyone else had a boss or coworker give them a money tip like that and you ignored it for a while?
