Payroll
Once again we have had a payroll meltdown in our lab. The time clocks just stopped working recently. Now we are on the honor system and report our hours in writing to our supervisors. What is so frusterating is that this has happened before and just keeps on happening. I wonder why, if the company that does payroll is not performing the way it should, a new company is not hired. And so, we will get paid based on some assumptions about our attendance, and it will all be fixed on our next paycheck. So I am told. I find that I have to scrutinize my paycheck to keep the company from errors in their favor - never in my favor, of course.
Remember, this is a Fortune 500 multinational company, and they can't get the payroll right all the time.
I am a lab rat. Don't mess around with my cheese!

My evil global biotech company went to an online timecard system last year. Every two weeks, alternating between paychecks, we have to enter our hours and submit them for online approval from our supervisors. Hourly employees have to do this every day (I'm salaried). In theory this is a sensible method, and everything is instantly archived and digitized. Unfortunately, the server goes down all the time, particularly when everyone tries to get on at the same time, at the end of the day or, especially, at the end of the two week period when it is due. Sucks. But it's still better than an actual punchclock!
By the way, thanks for linking to my site!
