“Clocking out an hour after leaving the office daily”
What Actually Happened
I have falsely logged about 1,000 unworked hours over four years by clocking out from my couch after commuting. While I risk immediate termination if audited, I struggle to feel guilty because my company severely underpays and overworks me.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had realized how easily a one-time shortcut could become an ongoing, fireable habit."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
