‘I answer him in 30 seconds… One hour OT’: Tech employee fed up with antiquated 9-to-5 uses it to his advantage and costs the company way more

It's funny how 9-to-5 still dominates many offices even though most employees are getting paid salary (not hourly) and 100% of their job can be done at home… You'd think these "smart" big business owners would use this new growing mind set or tossing the 9-to-5 to their advantage, but nope. Instead, employees are getting smarter and using this antiquated system to their advantage.

For example, this IT employee posted on Reddit how at his job he was forced to stay in the office during his working hours, even though he was getting their way early and is still able to work remotely even when he's not there. He, however, decided to maliciously comply and use this to not only clock in on extra overtime pay, but also to have the excuse to refuse to do any work that was asked of him outside of those hours. Looks like the joke was on the manager, this time!
