    Default Re: My Boss Has Lied to Hr and Disciplined Me Without Assigning Any Work

    You do understand that there was nothing even remotely illegal about her disciplining you for leaving work early, right? Regardless of whether it was four minutes, forty minutes, or four hours? And that if you had complained to HR about it, the likelihood is that they would have politely heard you out and then forgotten the whole matter?

    The point was that on Day 1 when I had a scheduled doctor's appointment, I was set to leave work at 4pm. I left work at 4:05pm. My boss accused me of leaving at 3:30pm. Not true and I had proof. I spoke to HR about the situation just to get advice, nothing else. Before I could talk to my HR Rep, she called her up and told her that there was no schedule doctor's appointment and that I just decided to up and leave at 3:30pm. This is AFTER my boss had already accused me leaving early and I had corrected her.

    Day 2, I left 4 minutes early. I understand she can discipline me for this day.

    I'm not exactly sure how I can be called a poor performer, not a team player if I'm not being assigned work to do.

    The employee sounds a little bit like a whiner .... want to avoid this: make doctors appointments on your own time ... take a vacation day.

    Your boss did not do anything illegal here, ergo you have no legal recourse.

    How did your boss find out that you were about to reach out to HR?
