The Irrelevant Overtime

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Do you work overtime in your job? Most people do.
Do you get paid for the overtime you work? Most people don't.
The question I have for you is why would you work overtime for free? If you do, it's irrelevant.
Why? Because in an ideal world, there would be no overtime. There would be the correct number of employees doing 8 hours of work each. If someone was ill or on vacation, it wouldn't matter because the work would still get done.
The next time you go to work, plan to leave on time. If you're asked why you're leaving so early, say you have an appointment. Then do the same thing the next day. Eventually your "after-hours absence" will no longer be noticed. Your overtime days will have become irrelevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
