I worry about what others are doing because I believe in fairness. If I work my ass off and meet my deadlines consistently and do my work with pride, I'd expect others who are getting paid the same as me to do the same. If they aren't then something needs to be done about them. That's B.S.!!!!!
That is for their manager to track and decide. What do you do? Tattle to your supervisor if someone leaves early?

Yeah, too bad if the manager does not care or does not bother to check. No, I don't tattle to him. But I sure wish he could figure it out on his own and do something. Why should I have to work more hours than someone else? Again. B.S.
Because they get more work done per hour than you do and it's a salaried position?
Exactly. What about the person who hunts and pecks at the keyboard to type up his/her notes vs. the one who types 75+ wpm? Should speedy typer suffer for being efficient? People need to mind their own business and worry about themselves, IMO.

Y'know, I had co workers once who thought I was slacking off because it "seemed" I was doing less work than the other 3 of them. They went to our manager to complain. It was a job where metrics could be tracked and so she pulled reports, saw that not only was I doing significantly more than either of them individually, but at times more than the 3 of them combined, faster and more accurately.
She told them to mind their own business and do more work. She told me I could continue as I was, and if between work loads I chose to read a book, I was more than free to.
My coworkers had no idea that I had already been to her looking for extra projects and busy work to do on top of our expected work load because I'd get bored, and that when she had something for me to do I did it, but otherwise I was free to do what I wanted (within company policy), but to otherwise just be on hand and ready for work when it came in.
People like you make the workplace miserable for other people.
if you dont take lunch that is your option but you still must stick to the times you agreed to.
most employers want you to take lunch bek hungry people are irritated and tired people
I'm not in healthcare, I'm in an office. Are salaried people really able to get away with leaving an hour early if they skip lunch?
I'm with the poster who talked about those who sit at their desk and peck away. I never allow myself more than ten minutes to eat lunch, because I feel like I'm robbing the company if I take longer.
Eight hours work is eight hours work. You get a certain amount of personal responsibility handed to you when you are a salaried employee to get your work done. Some take advantage of it.
When things got hot, salaried employess are also expected to put in 9 or 10 hour days, or maybe weekends, and not get paid. Or how about travel and not get paid for travel time. Make sense?
Salaried employees are usually exempt. Exempt employees are not subject to overtime laws. Consequently, exempt employees often have a bit more flexibility with their schedules. That's the positive. The negative is that exempt employees have more schedule flexibility because they generally work more than 40 hours in a week.
