If you've ever complained about having to work a minute over your usual '8 hour work shift' please remind yourself of this story. Oprah Winfrey is a tough boss but when push comes to shove, she's not stingy.
Oprah gave one dedicated staff member $65,000 in overtime. Talk about dedication! Carla Bird put in 800 hours of overtime, carried out from January to April 2007, according to the New York Post
Oprah's communications boss Lisa Halliday says, "Many of our employees contribute significant hours of overtime during our production season. This is quite common within the television industry. "From January to April 2007, this employee legitimately accumulated approximately 800 hours of overtime."
Getting paid big dollars is great and all but this chick was literally putting almost 18 hours a day. What’s the point of getting paid all that overtime if you don't have any time to spend it??
