Arrogant Boss Scolds Employee For Leaving Early, Employee Stops Working Overtime And Mutes Emails

In today's fast-paced corporate world, achieving a healthy work-life balance has become an increasingly significant challenge for employees. The dynamics of the modern workplace often demand dedicated efforts, with employees expected to work long hours and remain connected even beyond official work hours. However, a recent post on Reddit involving an arrogant boss scolding an employee for leaving the workplace early has shed light on the importance of maintaining this delicate equilibrium between professional and personal lives.

The Vice President (VP) of the company the original poster (OP) works for expects his employees to work overtime without being paid and won't let them leave the office early. Therefore, OP and his coworkers decided to take revenge by snoozing their email alerts, effectively making themselves unavailable after 5:01 p.m. This clever retaliation proved to be highly irritating to the VP, especially since he was known for sending emails to his staff during off-hours.

OP works in the entertainment sector in an office setting.

The VP demands the employees work overtime.

OP decided to stand up for himself and told his coworkers to do so.

"My work hours are from 8:30 am to 5 pm."

"You get what you wish for."

Exactly!

The boss needs to break out of his old-school ways ASAP.

Tit for tat!

It's highly illegal.

Haha, true!

Such a bad deal!

A simple rule.

Fortunately, not every boss sees employees the way OP's boss does.
