'We are still waiting’: Manager demands employees wait for her approval to start closing restaurant, leading manager to pay them overtime when she forgets to follow through

No one likes to be told what they can or cannot do. We're adults, and the whole concept of being bossed around after the age of 18 gets real tired real fast. Yet, life always finds a way to throw someone at you who thinks they're the boss of you, and 90% of the time that someone is actually the boss of you.

Some bosses, good bosses, find ways to pass along their request without making it sound like a command. Other bosses, actually enjoy having that power over their employees, so they take advantage of it at whatever opportunity they get. 

Even though no one likes to be told what to do, the one satisfaction you can still get when that does inevitably happen, is when those demands end up completely backfiring and you get to see it all happen from the first row.

That is what happened in the story down below–when a manager allowed her power over her employees to get to her head, she ended up making demands she quickly regretted.
