IT Helpdesk manager emails demanding staff arrive 15 minutes early to login and be ready to take calls “1 second before” their shift, staff comply and hang up on customers the second their shift ends: ‘Sorry to interrupt you, my shift is over. Goodbye’ – FAIL Blog

The IT worker complied. When a new phone call arrived just before the end of the shift, he answered it, waited until one second after the shift officially ended, then politely informed the caller that the shift was over, hung up, logged out, and went home. When questioned by the manager, the IT guy quoted the manager’s own written instructions back to them.
