You may have hit on the problem. Most bosses are not big boys or gir least not in office work. So the reality is that some folks will dra out and, unless their work is piss poor, they are not likely to see m the way of consequences.

Government jobs are very averse to giving overtime.

I was working in state government at this time. They are adverse about
paying OT. I was an "employee," so I got comp time. The folks who were usually aiming to cause/get OT were contractors, who would have been on
paid OT (which came out of a "different bucket").

Getting up to a certain amount of comp, without going over, was a good
thing if you were nearing retirement as it figured into the computation of
your final compensation and, therefore, retirement pay.
