So I recently started a new position at new company where I submit a time sheet every week. This is different for me compared to other salaried positions where I just show up, work a number of hours and leave. Also my previous role was remote and it wasn't required for me to submit a time card and time available was a bit more lax.
This is a senior level position BTW and low six figures salaried. The kicker is that any time over 40 hours I work I am eligible for overtime which is
I recently got adjusted to my new place. For two weeks I was staying at a friend's place and coming in between 9 - 9:30 and putting my 40 hours in.
I ran an errand the other day and notified my boss in person I was working on some passport stuff (I may go out the country in a few months for this job).
So today is very busy. This is my fourth week in the job and I am still learning. He has told me that I'm not expected to be 'productive' until about three months in. I'm still learning and honestly still working on getting all my access I need to perform my job.
Long story short I check an email later that is attached to my time card. To paraphrase it stated that I am supposed to submit my lunch hours in my time sheet. He also stated that I am expected to be at work on time at 9, not 9:30. This was my first and final warning.
To be clear, I was never given a set time to come in. This is my fourth week in and the only time I was told to come in at 9 now was during a shift turnover and since then I came into work before 9. Also, I never took time off for lunch. I went to walk and get food within our building and came back and ate at my desk.
I can be meticulous and report that small time if that is what they want though.
I feel like I need to clarify these things with him just 1-on-1 and honestly for the most part he has been pleasant to work with. Even with the passport stuff he just said "just take the time you need and get it done". The expectations of the role are quite loose for this position and to produce good work.
Maybe there is a cultural clash here. Coming from a remote position where no time was set and I even worked during off hours to complete things was nothing. I also was in a company prior that I would say was far more lax than the rest of the tech field.
On one hand; I get it. I should be there on time. I also was not set the correct expectation for that initially. I also did not like the email talking me down.
I frankly took this position at a time because I wanted to work. I suffered a layoff a few months ago and took it, but I admit I have some trepidation with the parent company. I am wondering how I should smooth this out but I also feel like I should stay in contact with many of my peers I know and look elsewhere if some sort of real clashing comes to surface.
