Working overtime has its pros and cons. Pro: you can earn more money, which seems more and more relevant as the cost of living rises. In fact, 57% of Americans said in 2022 that they wanted to work overtime because of growing expenses. Con: you risk burnout and health problems as your stress levels might increase.
But sometimes, working overtime can have more advantages than disadvantages, and that’s what happened to this Redditor. Their boss asked them to stay and work late, but the catch was that the OP didn’t have any more work to do that day. So they decided to maliciously comply with the boss’ demand and work overtime and get paid for doing nothing.
It’s rare for employees to want to work overtime, but some employers make it mandatory even if there’s no work to do
