'If you're on time, you are late': Employee starts showing up 30 minutes before shift to be paid overtime after boss claims being on time is not good enough

Sometimes the best way to deal with a boss's unreasonable demands is by showing them just how unreasonable these demands are. Since telling them that usually doesn't do any good, because they refuse to listen to anyone but themselves, most employees must find other and more creative ways to get the point across.

While some employees really do find creative ways to prove to their managers that their requests are crazy, others don't have to go that far. All they have to do is follow said request for a while, and simply by doing so to perfection, the manager will see for themselves that what they asked for really doesn't make any sense. This way, nobody had to confront the manager, nobody risks losing their job, and the mere concept of following orders is what gets the orders to go away. It is the best solution for absolutely everyone involved.
