It has been known for nearly 100 years that you can never criticize your staff.

“I will speak ill of no man and speak all the good I know of everybody.”

― Benjamin Franklin

Last job, my last performance review. There was literally only 1 complaint against me. I was late >40 times. My boss told me he was disappointed in me. I was upset because I was never ever late to work; I was always early.

I asked him to tell me when I was late. He pulled it up. Everytime I worked the weekend because I was oncall 24x7; I would swipe in and because I swipped in after 8am or whatever it was considered a late.

So not only was I going above and beyond helping people afterhours, I was taking a hit in my performance review because of it. Dont care how stoic you are, that hurts.

I hope you then worked out how much TOIL you where owned and pointed out to them the definition of salaried employment.

About a month after that. I had a coworker speaking to me in my office. He was quite angry at 2 coworkers and said he was going to kill them. To be clear, this guy hangs out with gangs and has rifles. He was serious in his rant.

I reported this to my boss. The next day I was fired.

Salaried employment doesn't mean unscheduled.

Possibly in some cases (eg doctors on particular shift in a hospital) - but normally as a salaried professional you manage your own time.
