#Overtime

Overtime is a company masterpiece that emerges once the illusion of official work hours shatters. It quietly erodes employees’ private lives and crushes any desire to go home in silence. A CEO’s last-minute request is merely a free bonus in this unpaid after-party beyond the time card. The endless loop continues with faint hopes until the lights finally go out. There is no ‘‘clock-out’’ button ― only time imposed upon you.

Overtime is the ritual of offering one’s hours beyond the scheduled end to corporate demands. Though it thwarts any hope of free time, it is often lauded as a badge of dedication. Faced with endless tasks, even the hands of the clock lose compassion, and the concept of time itself goes missing. What remains in a dark office is the life that should have been saved for the future. You may live in a place where the clatter of keys drowns out your family’s voices.
