#thats not good enough?! acting we aren’t busy enough teaching kids 😫

My job has a lateness form we’re supposed to fill out if we’re late; this, I feel, is an arbitrary and meaningless exercise as we already have protocol to email our supervisor(s) if and when we’re late. We include the date and time we’re entering the site, opposed to our expected arrival time. This lateness form is not only more writing for us to do but we’re expected to fill it out immediately upon arrival. We work with kids so standing around filling out a lateness form while we’re already late is, quite frankly, a massive waste of time. This has been implemented recently though and I’m lucky enough to live close to my job, so I’m hardly ever late. But my supervisor’s supervisor is now replying to my old lateness emails from last year when the lateness form didn’t exist and is asking me to fill it out for those days. I could see the issue if these latenesses happened in January but they were in October and November. I can’t reasonably ascertain a point in retroactively filling out a form for that. Different pay period, different semester, different year. What’s the point
