It's only lying if you copy and paste the HN comment without following the last instruction:
(Substitute whatever urgent problem has lead to needing someone to work overtime.)
Obviously if there's no reason for them to work overtime, you won't be able to find a reason for them to work overtime, but then instead of asking, you should... not ask.
- watwut 5y agoBy the sound of original statement, the reason is the idea of teamwork and clearing all planned tickets. It is completely absurd to change the situation into completely different one and then complain the original statement dont fit it.
- whatshisface 5y agoThe idea of teamwork and clearing all planned tickets aren't reasons to work overtime. Teamwork in isolation, $0. Tickets on the tracker, $0 in and of themselves. There must be some other reason behind suddenly caring more about the tickets than the manager did when making staffing decisions in the months leading up to the crisis, otherwise it wouldn't be an issue.
- watwut 5y agoThat is naive. If you try to say no to overtime, you will find they will just fire email they did not felt like writing. And yes, there are managers who think common overtime to make fake deadline is good teambuilding.
