Entitled manager bans overtime calling employee a 'time thief,' then blames employee after turning down last-minute million-dollar project: 'Let's agree to disagree, this has been one big miscommunication'

After being abruptly banned for working overtime and being called a 'time thief' by a new manager, one employee decides to maliciously comply with the new rules. Even though he's never worked overtime by more than 30 minutes, those 30 minutes add up in the long run. Because of this newly instated rule, projects start falling through the cracks. But the employee actually has no choice but to let this happen, considering the new strict rules.

Things get worse when the new manager comes running to the employee, asking him to take on a last-minute million-dollar project, to which he says no. Why? Because he didn't want to be a time thief. And, he had plans. His refusal prompted an HR meeting the very next day. Keep reading to see how this employee came out on top.
