Employees are caught in the middle

I understand the ruling, yet sympathize somewhat with the employees. What is a diligent, ethical employee to do, when he/she is expected to produce more in an 8-hour period than is humanly possible?
The mentality of "do more with less" has been taken to such extremes, that reliable employees are burnt out. Add to that the ridiculous requirements of taking a performance-based action, and that means the lazy employees are overlooked.
Forced to stay on duty-with no overtime!!!

If a federal employee is a shift worker that works in a operation that is 24/7, that cannot leave their post until the replacement employee shows up...how could they not recieved overtime for having to stay on duty.
It doesn't make sense that a federeal employee is forced to stay at their post after their scheduled tour of duty, because no relief has arrived to relieve them, and then not be paid overtime. And if the employee leaves their post as scheduled, then they get in serious trouble.
This is a serious flaw. This should be forwarded to the union, and have them force their agency to put in writing that they will automatically be paid overtime.

I read the article "Overtime and Federal Employees" and i am not sure if you mean that - if an org puts out a directive for overtime then you are compensated if not directed then not compensated. Also, overtime requires approval from the appropriate supervisors level prior to being performed.
My question boils down to this - Can a federal organization force employees to work overtime against the employees desire/will?
Please address/cover this area in a future article - I think it will help to clear the air on OT work and the process
Thanks
