Intimadated by my boss
I just started a new job, well, not JUST, I've been working there for about 2 months now.
Well I've always been a little afraid of my boss. I didnt think she liked me a first because she was only giving me night shifts, but then I guess all the other girls I work with told her I was a good worker and then she started being nicer to me and giving me the afternoon shifts. Well we had been getting along quite well but then today, she called me upstairs. She had a sheet of all the times that I had punched out of work at the end of my shifts. We have a computer system where we have to swipe our ID card to get paid. Well she said to me " you've been logging out early". "And make sure that you log out on time or I'll dock you 15 minutes pay".
Well I didnt know what she was talking about because I always log out on time. But when she showed me the sheet it said I had logged out once 1 minute early!!!
I couldnt believe I got in trouble for 1 minute!! She said if it happened again she would deduct 15 minutes from my pay. I told her that I thought it was my watch because I always leave on time. Then she told me to look at the clock on the cash register. Am I overeacting or was that pretty silly?

I think your boss was overreacting and probably just trying to frighten you. (My mom had the same problem, except she was clocking IN too early, and they had to pay her for the two or three minutes extra a week, and they made a huge fuss.) Just try to ignore the evil boss and clock out a few minutes after time, just to make sure it doesn't happen again. Let's hope she doesn't start complaining then about you clocking out late.

It's stupid.
Your boss is dumb. But, that's what bosses are right? She's only doing it because you're the "newbie." Although, you've been there for two months, it seems the shortest. Just make sure you clock out a couple of minutes after your shift is actually over. But yes, I think her docking 15 minutes from pay is pretty dumb for clocking out one minute early. & You're most definitely NOT overreacting.

It is very silly. Ridiculous even.
But check your pride, she is your boss, and as such, is allowed to be a little ridiculous or even pretty silly.
If you are new there, and there is no one above her to speak to easily, then you have very little power and just remind yourself, they are paying you, if they want to pay you for doing something stupid, so be it. This is only a minor inconvenience to you and probably not worth ruffling feathers over.
Trust me you won't be the only person in the world sitting around and waiting for the time clock to be the precisely correct time before punching out.
(Try clocking out one minute late and seeing if she pays you for an extra fifteen minutes...)
