In a customer service job, I was once scolded for not doing someone else's work (in another department!) after finishing my own work early. I had been trying to go home early because I had a test the next day. I finished 15 minutes early and was on the way out the door when I was told to do someone else's work who had sat around most of the day. I refused, and was called into the office the next day with 3 managers. By the end of the meeting, I told them that I would "work at the same, slow, plodding pace as all the rest of the workers and this situation will never happen again." They actually accepted that as a success on their part. Amazed, I left the office and made good on my promise for the rest of the time I worked there.
