'If it's not in writing, it didn't happen': Micromanager tries to schedule meeting with employee after hours, gets HR involved, employee fires back with receipts

Being asked to stay late for more work is always a tricky situation. The truth of the matter is,  despite any social pressures that might infer otherwise, there needs to be a legitimate incentive for the employee who has been asked to stay late to justify the practice. If not, the employee has every right to decline said request. In fact, even if there is such an incentive, they should still have the right to decline, as working late is not expressly part of their contract. 

Here, we have a worker whose micromanager loved to pressure him to go the extra mile even when their work was exceptional and more effort was clearly unnecessary. So when the boss tried to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the employee after work hours, the employee declined and asked to schedule the meeting the following day when he was being paid for that time. What followed was a tense back-and-forth in which the micromanager thought she was entitled to get HR involved and the employee was quick to fire back with receipts.
