Update: 'Biggest payday of my life for 2 minutes of work': Contractor spends entire weekend at work after being told to "stay as long as it takes"

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life.

Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling.

This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend, but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestradaslada, didn't have much of a say in their own working hours. When an emergency comes up, sometimes you just have to sacrifice your own time to fix it. It shouldn't be that way, of course---that's not a good work/life balance. At least the OP did get some payback on the company for wasting so much of their time. They deserve an honorary three-day weekend to make up for all of the company's shenanigans.

Check out the story, plus a nice update from OP. Then, this volunteer teacher was given an ultimatum by their boss, and as the volunteer writes, "He did not think I'd throw out 50 computers."
