Manager always wants to talk when I'm going to leave

When 5:00 hits, I am usually getting the computer shut down and getting things finished up from the day's work. As I am leaving to go get my son or to go home for the day, I pass by my boss's office. I usually give him the usual pleasant exchanges of "have a good evening" and "see you tomorrow", but many times I get caught in talks with him. It'll normally be work related things, but it's things we could've talked about at any other point throughout the day. Yesterday, as a coworker and I were leaving, exchanging the goodbyes, his wife comes in and they begin telling us about a conference that they attended last week and details from it. He had already told us a good deal about the conference, but this time it was more detail oriented.

It was 5:18 when we were finally walking out the door, and the only reason we were leaving then is because I found an opportunity to tell them I had to go and pick up my son.

I don't want to be rude or put a target on my back for not standing around after work to talk, but these are things we literally could talk about throughout the day during work hours. Not to mention I'm not getting overtime to stand around for nearly 20 minutes after work to talk. It just gets on my nerves especially when I'm needing to go and pick my son up from after school care. How should I handle this in the best way possible?

work should be simple

Work should be as simple as getting something done safely and getting paid, but no, its so common to deal with a lot of bs that doesn't even matter. I laugh at how some workplaces how pathetic they are, you must admit, the amount of negging/gaslighting I've witnessed.

Does anyone actually want to do proper work anymore? or is that hard to find.

or bosses that are suffer from some mental disorder like OCD, some bosses are not as skilled and get insecure, show you a different way to do something that is objectively useless and usually less safe or outdated even. smarter ones admit they just need you and skip the gaslighting...

funniest thing recent is STAND you down with PAY because they are frustrated, is especially beneficial for the company right, when you exceed $1000 USD per day of pay

I think my manager is trying to get me fired.

The other day when working, I needed to leave work early. I work in a rehab hospital as a therapy tech and I am the only tech who works weekends so im by myself. I asked all of the therapists if they would be okay with me leaving after lunch and they all said it would be cool.

I text my manager asking her as well and she said that it would be a write up because I'm at my max for unexcused absences. I was incredibly confused because I have only called out 1 time and it was almost a year ago.

I asked her what dates does she have me as a call out and she said that she didn't know off the top of her head.

I asked her about the days that I was sick or injured and she said those count against me as well. I also asked about ETO and she said that eto doesn't count against you.

Well, I went to our schedule and looked at the previous year and could see all of the days that she had me marked as called out.

And then I went to our text messages to compare and one of the days marked as a call out I had put ETO in for and she had agreed that it was okay.

A few more days were days that I needed switched. I would work on my off day and be off on a work day but she would put me down as a call out. Our text exchange for those days shows that she was cool with me doing that and never expressed that it would be counted against me.

And then the other days were days that I had doctors notes which stemmed from problems that honestly come from working because I walk all day and lift patients a lot.

I talked to HR and she said that approved switched days and doctors notes shouldn't count against me.

So now I'm in the process of sending an email to my manager, HR and the CEO with the dates I'm marked as called out and a Screenshot of our text messages under it and asking if I am able to get those Call outs deleted.

Does anyone else have a job where one day you might be rushed off your feet all day and the next day it's really quiet, how do you deal with it?
