Boss Refuses To Pay Overtime To Employees, So They Stop Working Outside Of Their Work Hours

Work can sometimes spill into our personal lives, especially when on-call duties are involved. Take it from this employee in the popular "AITA" subreddit, who shared their challenge of balancing company rules with meeting their boss's expectations.

The OP revealed that some coworkers at their company chose to stay a bit longer to prevent any field agents from contacting the on-call person until the next day. However, the boss wasn't happy about this. So, at a conference meeting, she brought this issue to the forefront and made a statement: clock out exactly at the time they closed for the day to avoid overtime, even if tasks remained unfinished. This led to a tricky situation: the boss started making late-night calls for help.
