Oneshot

Goes For Three
So I'm working at a large company that is very well respected. They treat us very very nicely. Everything is based on an honor system; we rarely get 'checked' on or anything like that.

I'm an intern right now, so I get paid by the hour.

There's a kid here who, without exaggeration, gets in at ~10AM and leaves at 3PM. Every day. Takes an hour lunch.

He clocks 8-5 every day.

He works in my office along with about 6 other interns, and he has zero remorse. He gets here after all of us, and leaves here before all of us. And so I asked him jokingly if he is clocking all the hours, and without hesitation he says he is.

"Well I finish my work so I go." Well yeah, dickhead, you might have finished your work, but that doesn't mean that you just get a bonus for the hours that you say you work...

Anyway, I appear to be the only one outraged here, because the others just say "Don't worry about it, it's none of your business, and it'll come back to him."

But I know that in all likelihood it wont. Anyone else have a similar experience?

PS It's my lunch hour, btw.
 
The other people saying that he will get his are wrong. He won't and will probably end up being your boss at some point. It's been my experience that perception means a hell of a lot more than what anyone actually does.
Anyone aware enough to work half days and not get questioned about it is "smart" enough to play the inter office political scene which is really all that matters in advancement.

Fuck that "snitches get stitches" shit. Tell the fucker he'd better do one of two things: 1) Clock his actual hours, or 2) Work what he clocks, or you'll turn his sorry ass in. Why should the fucker get paid the same as you when he's a lying lazy fuck? An occasional "fudge" of a half-hour here and there is no real biggie, but 3-4 hours a day every day is bullshit.
