There were quite a few gov-co drones who were nobodies and they had better than banker’s hours.
They could come and go whenever and would whine about all the vacation time they had to use or give up.
My time sheets were scanned for the slightest discrepancy.

At my next to last employer, General Dynamics, our RFID badges tracked the amount of time in the plant and where in the plant. I was asked by my boss why I went to the bathroom so frequently. I told him, “benign prostate hyperplasia. Do you need a doctor’s note?” “Uhm...no...thanks.”
From that point forward, I left my badge at my desk and used a bathroom all the way across the plant so I wouldn’t need my badge to get through a door.
I am so glad I don’t have to work in today’s insane SJW companies.
I used to work for a water department. Not only did you get the 13 paid holidays everyone gets, you also get 1 sick and 1 annual day a month, plus 2 floating holidays and your birthday.
Total 43 paid days off a year.
As a manager I could come in, dispatch my employees, then leave and get paid for the entire day. I could also cash in my time if I was going to go over my caps. However, my conservative mindset was not approved of.
Years ago helping a company as a temp we had to meet with a government manager type at the site. The first day he wasn’t in his office in the morning. His secretary said to come back in the afternoon. Still not there. We went back to work and another guy said “Oh - Frank? Yeah - get there by 7am and you might have to wait, but you’ll catch him.”
We did the next day. The other worker said “Yeah - he comes in, turns on his lights, puts some papers on his desk. Then he leaves for the day to work his other job. You can sometimes catch him when he comes back and straightens up - but that can be pretty irregular.”
I wish I hadn’t been so young back then. Although obviously everybody around knew what he was doing - so who was I going to tell?
