Doesn't that just suck? I mean, they don't mandate or budget OT BUT if you generally have more work than you can finish in an 8 hour work day, "They" bust your chops for OT or "They" bust your chops for not completing your work.

Having worked in IT all of my adult life, I can definitely say that some problems just take more time to solve, especially if there is any customer service (this could mean supporting co-workers) involved.
