Boss said “No overtime allowed” so I stopped fixing his mistakes at 5:00 sharp.

Used to stay back 15–20 minutes every day to fix the sloppy reports my boss rushed through. One day he sends out an all-staff email: “There will be NO overtime without prior approval.”

Cool. I clocked out at 5 sharp the next day.

Didn’t fix his broken data entry. He got yelled at by his boss the next morning for submitting incorrect figures.

He asked why I didn’t fix it like I usually do. I just smiled and said, “Your email said no overtime.” Never saw that rule again
