I was like, "But I already drove to work. I'm here now."
this is why there is/can-be a rule that says that if you were scheduled for and showed up for work, that you are entitled to at least 3 hours of pay, regardless if you worked it or not. if you show up and they send you home, they have to pay you at least 3 hours. (only applies to hourly work I think, and of course anything will vary by region.)

Actually, based on what he said, it sounded like he was going to be paid for the whole day. But the pay isn't the issue here, anyway... It's having to use a day off when you already went to work...

yes, you're right. in that case, I don't think there's an issue.

I do see a problem, though. I agree with him. I would hate to go to work only to be told I had to use my day off that day and go back. On my days off, I'd rather not wake up early and go to work to go back. I'd rather relax the whole day. That's if I had a "get-out-of-work-free card". If not, then it would have been fine. But that was coupled with the fact that he had to use it on a half day, as well. It's just a case of a shitty boss...

well it definitely sucks, but I'm not aware of any rules that are being violated (not that I'm an HR expert, though I do work with this kind of info a lot). the 3 hour rule is for hourly workers. as a salaried employee, the "free day off" thing is just -8 hours that you are expected to accumulate. whether you're at work already or not doesn't matter. (but these kind of things will probably vary everywhere, so it's entirely possible that there's somewhere in the world where this would be a problem.)

Nobody said anything about rules being violated, AFAIK. We just said it suck. And I called the other guy a shitty boss. Which he is... And it's a problem for most normal people. If you like your days off, you probably don't like having to go there on a day off. Like I said, if it was a day you had to work and get a random day off (not a planned one like this one was suppose to be), it would be different. And if it wasn't a half day, it would have also been ok. What this boss did isn't against the rules. But it definitely makes him a shitty boss... Or a shitty person, if he knew about the half day... And lazy, by the looks of it, I guess...

What are you talking about? I was saying that I understand why he is mad. And explained why. But what the fuck ever. If you don't like talking to me and having a discussion, then fucking don't. Block me if you want. I don't really care... But I was explaining why he was mad. And why I agree. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, the internet isn't the place for you...

your first point was valid, but after that you're not disagreeing, or there'd actually be something to talk about. I couldn't even call what you're doing nitpicking. it's just antagonizing for it's own sake. I'm not the only one you do it to, but I am probably more susceptible than others, where other people are smart enough to disengage from your absurdity.

All I'm saying is I agree with him. I'd be pissed if I was forced to use my day off on a day I went to work already. And I'd also be pissed if I was forced to use it on a half day. Being forced to use it when both of those things happened would suck even worse. Which is what happened to him. You said you didn't see a problem with that. And I disagreed and explained why. It's literally that simple. And I'm not nitpicking. I'm explaining why what happen sucks. If you can't understand that, then I don't really care... If you don't like it when people disagree with you, that's fine. But I'm not going to change the way I post for your sake. So, if you don't like the way I post, ignore or block, and stop complaining. And it's not absurd just because you don't agree. But whatever... And if you'rer talking about disagreeing, most people do it to each other on this site. But if you are only paying attention to me and not the others who do it, that's a little creepy, tbh...
