I was cc'd accidentally into an email from my manager to higher ups trying to get permission not to pay an employee over time.
I've previously been denied or not paid the full amount of overtime because of bullshit excuses (after chasing it up) despite not being able to leave some days until certain work is done. One time a co-worker and I worked the same hours and they were approved over time and I was not. They ended up getting less than an hours pay.
I fucking knew it. I knew someone was screwing our overtime. I'm so pissed.
