'With a smile [my boss told] me, "I see what you did there"': Manager and employee team up to stick it to large company's HR, gets paid extra in overtime

It's not often you read on the internet a good story between manager and employee. Usually, it's an employee struggling with an entitled manager or vice versa. However, we've recently come across a story where the brain and heart finally meet and we just had to share it. 

It all started with a feud with a large company's HR. Apparently, the company's HR was messing up the 3k+ employees' overtime payments and totally trying to pull one over on them. It was a very large issue and, luckily, the managers were on the fighting side for the employees. It finally got all figured out and overtime payments were properly made. However, the system to add in the overtime was still a little whack. So, reddit poster u/Wild_Muffin_8844, an employee at said large company, needed to add overtime and PTO. The system wasn't allowing it so he turned to his manager for instructions. The manager decided that another tussle with HR was not something he wanted to deal with. So with a smirk, he just told his employee to add the hours on top of hours. The employee did what he was told, with a metaphorical wink to the employee, and now he made a nice little extra chunk of change!
