'You want me to work ZERO overtime? Sure thing boss': Manager complies with new bogus OT policy, results in team racking up tons of OT hours, manager embarrasses boss in front of CEO

It's a common misconception that cutting overtime hours can be a structurally sound decision for a company. This boss told a call center manager that management was no longer allowed to work overtime. Now despite this new bogus policy, he didn't say anything about the employees that report to management.

At the end of every day, this manager tends to check up on his team to help them wrap up their calls and get them out of work on time. This often results in him having to stay after for a little while, but overall, it's best for the company since one person's overtime is far less of a big deal than an entire team working overtime.

Clearly, this boss did not anticipate the consequences of this new policy despite numerous attempts on the part of the manager to explain his reasons. Keep scrolling below to see how the manager ended up embarrassing his boss in front of the CEO.
