Sharon’s a real gem, isn’t she? No focus on workplace performance, or what Ryan brings to the office each day, or how he’s been interacting with his team. Only the type of strictness usually reserved for minimum wage jobs that require you to clock in with precision.
This is an interesting look at workplace culture, too. I genuinely think that with this level of smarmy scrutiny that Ryan could bring some kind of HR case for himself. Is she acting like this for every employee, or is she singling him out? He could insist that every employee get the same treatment, and see how things shake out from there. I just can’t imagine she’s clock-watching this hard for every employee.
It would also be very funny if Ryan replied all to her email with a public apology for those 3 minutes wasted. There are a lot of possibilities here, and most of them result in Sharon’s humiliation.
