Some employers have this tendency to assume that you're trying to get one over on them, constantly accusing their workers of claiming time they're not working or flat-out stealing from the business. Whatever the accusation is, it seems they're always looking over their shoulder, waiting for you to drive the knife in and pick their wallet out of their back pocket. Despite their constant insistence, you'll probably never see any evidence of this happening, with stocktakes always coming out clean and workers even going as far as underreporting their hours to avoid difficult conversations about overtime and workload.
Maybe, just maybe, their insistence that this behavior is taking place (even when it's really not) is really just an admission of the fact that they themselves wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of something in their favor and are constantly trying to figure out how they're going to get more out of you for less pay.
Still, nothing causes people to band together like facing a common enemy, so when this boss decided to implement a new clock-in system in order to track the time their workers were working more closely, the workers—including the manager—banded together to put the boss in their place.
