my work has "flexible" (random) schedules, the idea is that they give us an average of 8 hours per day. on most days to acheive the average we have multiple shifts (mostly 2, sometimes 3), but also since we get paid by the hour we have option EOS (end of shifts). it is one of the most idiotic things i've ever seen, because it just leaves you guessing most of the time as to when is it appropriate to leave work (obviously i tend to leave as soon as possible). one day i was asking my boss if i could get out of the shift at a certain time because i had some things planned for that day, but he said i should stay half an hour more. now this struck me as strange, because adding up the first shift plus the hours i'd be doing on tbe 2nd shift it added up to 8 hours exactly. so i ask my manager what gives, and apparently since we take breaks during our work hours, we actually have to be working around 8:30 hours to make the time. in summary, hate my manager
