I just say it'll be done by Wednesday and next time act like a professional and give some time.
Some other guy I know will get it done, book a crazy amount of overtime, mail the thing and stay home from that overtime until Thursday.
And one other guy would just call the manager at weird hours the entire weekend asking for classifications.
I know some anarchistic people, okay.
that's just normal people.
"no one wants to work any more" is code for "no one wants to be blackmailed into volunteering extra time for less money"
which, no shit.
my manager gave us all a speech on how we need to work extra hard to close the year out with a bang. My dude, me working extra hard only earns you extra money (he's C level company founder), not me.
if you want me to work extra hard, set me achievable targets properly recompensed. It's not personal, it's just business.
It’s not personal, it’s just business.
That's my brother. When the boss asks to do overtime he opens a spreadsheet that calculates what every hour of overtime actually puts in the bank account. It's surprisingly low. Then he asks the boss to make it worth his time.

In my brother's place they changed the end of year bonus. It's no longer on an individual level but as a group. And the targets van change at any time. Who are they trying to fool.
I think myself, I'll probably get the "you're indispensable but they're isn't any budget for a raise" this year
Yeah my time off is worth more than 1.5x my pay except in very few circumstances.
I'd actually rather get 1.5x comp time instead of overtime pay. And that works out as a better deal for both of us.
It's fun being a corporate monkeywrencher
