Working overtime often goes unappreciated in companies whose only concern is that you follow strict guidelines that were put in place for the sole reason of creating obedient little soldiers who march to their intended tune. In other words, you're a worker bee, working tirelessly within a system, who cannot physically retaliate to these unfair work conditions because stinging would result in an early grave. In this case, an employee, OP, decided to maliciously comply with his boss, who kept calling OP into their office to complain about their work schedule.
OP was working the 9-6 grind at the time, but being young and full of determination, wanting to stand out, he began working late hours, resulting in a lot of unpaid overtime. When OP's boss called him out for being a few minutes late in the morning, OP decided to stick to the 'strict schedule' that was implied by his boss; OP stopped working overtime.
This boss didn't like that either, so he came to OP again, demanding that he work later hours, but OP refused and quit. Moral of the story: appreciate your employees.
