Corporate Worker Went Viral Online After Turning Overtime Into Hobby
A corporate worker brings good vibes online after jokingly turning his overtime work into a hobby.
Overtime happens when a person works longer than their regular working hours. For example, if someone’s normal shift ends at 5 p.m. but they stay until 8 p.m. to finish extra tasks, those additional hours are called overtime.
In most workplaces, overtime is paid with extra wages, often called overtime pay, as a way to reward employees for the extra time and effort they give. It usually happens when there are urgent deadlines, unfinished tasks, or busy seasons at work.
Recently, Japeth Reside or Japhethh, an Instagram user, shared a video showing how working overtime has become something he jokingly treats as a hobby. The post garnered various reactions from the internet users.
His playful take on a normally stressful situation quickly amused netizens and sparked conversations about the realities of corporate life.
In the video, he showed himself working late while a familiar love song played in the background, which he humorously connected to his unfinished deadlines. The relatable content resonated with many office workers who know the struggle of late-night tasks, tight deadlines, and endless paperwork.
“It was really just a spur-of-the-moment idea, I actually made that video just for fun, knowing a lot of people in the corporate world could relate,” Reside shared.
Many people usually find exhausting, but he took a light and funny approach to it. Instead of showing frustration, he chose to make fun of the situation, which brought laughter to the online users.
Some netizens shared how they also deal with the pressures of overtime in their own jobs.
Reside explained that the video was not meant to glorify long working hours but to capture the shared experiences and inside jokes often discussed among friends in different industries. He also emphasized the importance of work-life balance and making time to rest despite the demands of the workplace.
