Yeah, I was just throwing a random, working-age number, out there. Honestly, I'd feel pretty shitty if I was clocking in at 60 years old. That's sort of ridiculous...
I worked at a place where all of my managers had to clock in and I never felt that it was a big deal there. EVERYONE clocked in so there was no obvious distrust of you over, say, your manager. I work at a place right now where no one has to clock in. I KNOW some people fudge their hours on a weekly basis and I would almost like to see a clock put in here just to see them get f#$%ed. Hence the comment that you can make an argument that blue collar workers shouldn't be trusted... However, the managers even now know people fudge their hours - they just don't care. So, perhaps the managers are the 'problem'.
I would personally be sort of insulted by them because, frankly, I'm a pretty honest employee. I wouldn't make a fuss about it though, it would be a minor annoyance to my self-respect.
