A while back, management said no one was allowed to stay late anymore. They wanted to cut coat and said we needed to be out the door right at clock- out time. I usually stayed a bit after to wrap things up and get ready for the next day. But fine. I did what they said.

That night, I clocked out right on time. The unfinished work and mess? I left it all where it was. The next morning, boss came in and looked around confused. “What happened here?” I just said, “I left on time, like you asked.” Let’s just say that no staying late rule got a lot more flexible after that.
