I was in the Army, active, for 7 years. I'm pretty sure that's a top spot for rigid work culture. People's lives depended on it.
That said, if people's lives are not at stake, don't treat me like a kid. I don't treat -actual- children like kids much of the time and, they learn more for it.
This is the point. The company was making it clear what their expectations and policies were. Things an applicant would reasonably want to know. Their workplace, their rules. Doesn't make them wrong. I'm sure the last thing they want is to hire someone who will create problems. They DID select someone other than the OP, remember.
And that’s fine. They disclosed their expectations and it’s your choice to take it. Worse thing isn’t taking the job and then whining about the conditions that were disclosed to begin with.
I'm paid for my results. How I achieve those results is up to me. As for "needing to work", sure... but not for any particular employer. I do not need to work with frightened or despotic people. I do not need to work for an organization that sees me as an insignificant, disposable cog.
If you think that makes someone an "entitled child", I don't know what to tell you, other than some of us will continue to be the masters of our own vessel and others will always be down on the rowing deck, enjoying the rhythm of the hortator.
Yep, me too. I’m 40 years old, I own a business, I have two teenagers and I own a home. Definitely a grown-up. I cannot imagine working for someone who thought it would be appropriate to tell me to come in on time (obviously!) and that I couldn’t bring my cellphone. Now, if it were a matter of national security, okay. But at some random low-paying desk job? Ummm, no.
OMG why are you on here as an elite. Dont you have a meeting at jeckle island to figure out complex schemes to screw people?
I am sure there are meetings happening right now to figure out how to bring Trump into compliance so you can keep the peasantry class under the thumb. Are you late to that meeting or is this an intermission?
Almost every post you side against the employee. That is by definition supporting the authority class which are the elites (C level execs, share holder supremecy, etc).
or they may offer a great package .. But if you dare use it??? Wrath of hr comes down on you.
Worked for a company like this where if you called in sick you would get interrogated. I learned quickly to say -- no matter what -- that i had diarrhea. Because there are no follow-up questions to that. No one wants to know, lol.
Wow...reading this thread i realize most of you could never work in an hospital as a nurse/tech..or similar branch.
You want all this flexibility and relaxed attendance..lol. I wish!
Im excited to work 8 hours tomorrow instead of 12...
The culture depends on the type of job. One of my worst job experiences was working for a major automaker in their finance department,(at the dealer level, not consumer). You would have thought that Hitler himself started the company. You were watched every minute. They had a formal dress code even though we were on the phones 100% of the time. No cell phones, no personal calls during work, no food or drinks at your desk, computers had no internet or outside email. The managers would walk the floor all day just watching everyone. I felt like I was counting money at a casino. They had mandatory overtime. After a year, I was out of there. I didn't want to just leave and have my work history messed up.

Have you heard about Henry Ford? The only America mentioned positively in Mein Kampf.
