“hey we really need to launch that project by 9am IST, can you please monitor the rollout and fix any issues that arise? Also please have a full report for the daily standup that morning here. CEO will be in the meeting. And no overtime, budget is tight.”

At least the deadline’s not arbitrary.

You get paid for overtime?
