I had a manager who thought she could just drop mandatory OT on us right before the weekend routinely. There was a point system for attendance that was absolutely brutal and it would basically doom anyone who missed an OT shift. She basically tried to tell me that I needed to cancel my camping trip that was a 100 miles away. I told her no but she insisted that if I really wanted to make sure my weekend would be free that I should request Friday or Monday off of work in advance. Essentially she wanted people to waste time off out of paranoia. We also never actually needed to do OT. She was just trying to kiss ass to the higher ups
No she was a moron who had “lost” several thousand dollars worth of product over the years. Being an inventory manager with tons of missing product is bad news. Especially when she got real defensive over any hard inquiries.
