Why does this happen to me am I hexed?

so I just got on at this job as a temp it's my third working sun gear, 10 hour shift. They are so unorganized, they training practices suck, and they don't even have a set schedule. So boy A, the line lead told me I could take a extra 5 minute break, as my body isn't use to the hours and constant moving yet. So I took that opportunity to go pee (took me 5 minutes, I counted)., I come back and boy B gets sassy with me, lies on me and says I been gone 15 minutes, I told him I only been gone 5 i counted (this happened at my last job being lied on, like why?). He then switches up and says I wasn't suppose to take a 15 minute break. I was suppose to clock out and go home. Which I was confused I've been working 10 hours the last two days, now today it's 8 hours? Crazy! Why do I keep getting my livelihood stifled for being human. It's like I can't catch a break

Workplace Bathroom Laws
If an employer allows an employee to use the restroom, the time an employee spends in the restroom will not be counted as part of a rest period. The rest period must be provided in addition to the amount of time for bathroom use...
Reach out to HR. This supervisor is breaking the law.

Yea and he sent me home for it! I talked to a EEOC lawyer and he acted like the man wasn't wrong

If I were you I would tell boy B that in the 5 minutes you took to pee if you did not take that break you would have peed on the floor. So in the future if you need a quick pee break should you just do that instead? Report him to HR as well. let them know that monitoring your pee breaks is not something that you will tolerate and if it happens again you will report them to the EEOC.

EEOC lawyer doesn't know what he or she is talking about. Suggest you instead consult a private lawyer who specializes in employment cases. If you can't afford one, call the ACLU for a free referral. Best of luck!
