Agree, sometimes, people are just too much. My company has changed the timecard record system recently and conference calls had been sent up for admins to raise questions. Some admins reported that their workers refused to take breaks and lunch, stay in the office but not really doing their works. I thought that it's normal if they have a lot of works to do and most of us want to go home on time. But, they pointed out the reason that these workers claimed OT everyday (total of breaks and lunch hour). They saved the break times for OT. Even the admins warned them that it's illegal (CA laws state 15 mins break for every 4 hour work and 30 mins lunch for 8 hour a day) and they cannot claim OT because of that, these workers ignored it and their managers usually approved the OT anyway.
Another case to share - there's an assistant of the regional manager who is the boss of the area manager who I directly working under. This woman is not my direct boss but she's my indirect supervisor since my manager report to her manager. Sometimes, she can ask me to do something for the region. In return, if I need direction and don't know how to do some of the stuff, she's supposed to be the source to help. But, in reality, she's so lazy and always pass the work to me. When someone asked her questions, she directed them to me and asked me to do it. My manager hates her too because she always rejects the expense report without reading the details and most of them, we have to resubmit it. When I was about to take maternity leave, she wanted to pass my work to another area admins. However, that admins resigned because of family issue 2 weeks before my maternity leave. And, I have to take an earlier leave because my ob said that I would deliver early. I'm so happy to leave all the things to her now and see how she can handle all those.
