If it's not within your job description, you should have a right to say no. This employee was not a professional painter by any means, and yet, his boss seemed to have the audacity to ask him to stay late to paint the office before the owners came to visit. Now, at the very least, he offered overtime pay, but he even suggested that the Redditor bring his wife so she could be another set of hands as well (mind you, the original poster's wife is not an employee there).
Thankfully, OP had enough confidence to decline his boss's "generous offer," only to learn that it was not much of an offer and more of a demand. The good news is OP continued to stand his ground, as he understood the notion that his boss could enforce something like this out of nowhere was preposterous.
