Some bosses just don’t get it…

These types of folks make EVERYTHING more complicated than it needs to be and they wear their employees down…

But this worker found a way to maliciously comply with their orders.

Check out what went down!

Overtime.

“I work as a teller full time and as of late, we are very short handed.

Typically I do 80 hours per pay period (two weeks) and work every other Saturday. The weeks I work Saturday, I’m supposed to get a half day but because of staffing I no longer get that.

I also work an extra hour two days a week to cover a coworker going to school. So obviously I get some overtime. To compensate for this, I come in closer to 9 ( when we open) rather than 8:30, because I like sleep. The other day, I was cornered by my boss.

Here we go…

“OP!”

“Yes boss”

“I noticed you’ve been coming in at 8:55 rather than 8:30.”

“Yes ma’am I-”

“No excuses! Your hours are 8:30 to 5:30”

“Yes ma’am”

I think you can see where this is going.

So for the last week I’m here 8:30 AM sharp, and don’t leave until 5:30 or 6 on the days I cover someone.

Booyah!

Just checked my hours and I’m close to 50 hours on one week, when previously i was getting maybe 5 hours in two weeks.

I’m tired but my pettiness is fueling me. They could pay a part timer for two weeks for the overtime I’m making in one week, but “we don’t know if we can afford another teller.”

Well good luck affording me.”
