‘I refused to falsify my time sheet’: Boss accuses employee of time theft despite seeing proof of attendance, then tries to make them use sick time to supplement the alleged absence

Most of us don't want to go to work every day. We'd much rather spend our days at home on our computers, working remotely and allowing ourselves some time to do the household tasks we'd surely put off if we were working in the office. Not everyone has the remote work luxury, but it's not like we're purposely going MIA and refusing to go into the office—that would be workplace self-sabotage.

Time theft isn't a joke. If you're caught clocking in hours that you didn't work, you'll be terminated immediately and will also owe your ex-company some money, as if they need any more.

What do you do when you've clearly worked the hours you've claimed to work, but your manager refuses to believe you? It's as if you have a target on your back or some sinister siren calling to your manager, advising them not to take your word for it. This is what happens in this next story, and the employee has no idea how to proceed. Scroll to read.
