r/maliciouscompliance | "a Free Vacation for doing nothing? Sure thing!"

hey everybody my name is steven and this is the story time channel quickly before i get into the stories today i want to mention that i do a giveaway every single week so if you're interested in entering and don't know how to enter stay tuned till later in the video and i'll tell you exactly how to that said our first malicious compliance stories by us karate guy effective immediately about 10 months ago i worked dispatch and transport for a company that was in the steel reinforcement industry i generally worked with customers to have their steel arrive when they needed it so they wouldn't be delayed as best as i could and occasionally would have to ask other customers if they could reschedule or if their delivery was time critical my original supervisor had left for a better opportunity at a rival company about five months prior and i now had to report to the higher ups because they refused to either promote me or hire someone to fill his position and instead just transferred someone from interstate who was from another department not transport to do the easier parts of my job calling customers who had multi-level buildings to pre-plan an approximate date of when they would need certain work plans put into production while i had to continue doing the bulk of the delivery planning truck scheduling driver manifests and booking any small courier work although during the week leading up to this malicious compliance she was on leave and i had been doing everything now rule of thumb was account customers who paid a premium delivery got priority then standard account customers followed by one-off or cash sale customers unless the customer happened to pay for the premium delivery service unfortunately sales and management had started getting the idea that they could get every delivery done whenever the customer said a jump because i had been hitting the target with about a 99 hit rate with the exceptions of when weather or machine breakdown became a factor sorry for the backstory but i feel it was needed to get the full context of the job those in transport understand so i got a call from one of the customers we'll call them john doe who happened to be a cash sale telling me he needed his steel on site approximately 80 kilometers away 50 miles for those not yet caught up with the rest of the world at 7am on monday on a truck with a crane but couldn't accommodate a semi as there wasn't room on site problem was that this was on friday in the afternoon 90 minutes before my finishing time i tell the customer i'm sorry but there is no way i could get 23 tons of steel produced and delivered to him by 7 am as the site was at least 60 to 90 minutes away depending on traffic and our crane truck driver start at 6 am so they first need to check and tie down their load before getting the ok to leave by the safety officer on site but also all our production capacity was full and his steal which was originally booked for tuesday afternoon was pre-approved for a semi with no crane as they had one on site now the silence was deafening as i knew exactly what was coming jd had started a huge tirade about how his steel needed to be there or he'd missed the concrete pour and his steel fixers needed it ready to go the moment they finished their site meeting i guess they had an hour-long sight meeting and that their crane was not arriving on site until the following week when the prefab walls arrive now to be fair i had just had a week of heck already and this guy was the last thing i wanted before i was to enjoy my weekend so i simply responded with the i'm sorry sir but my hands are tight at this point if you had called yesterday and i had time to rearrange some jobs it would have had a slight chance of being pushed up but as it is now i wouldn't be able to a have the steel produced or b have two crane trucks spare to dedicate to one delivery before he can resume his rant i tell the customer i can try for tuesday morning but again at this point only half of the order would get there and i would first need to have a driver agree to start early to be there by 7 am the customer says that's not good enough i've paid good money for this deal so i expect it when i need it i understand you need this deal however you're asking me to prioritize your work over another that was already booked and confirmed and your point just get me my delivery my point is you're asking me to sit here at my desk for another two hours while i attempt to find the trucks needed from outside hiring companies ask the production team to work overtime tonight and tomorrow to complete the extra work loading onto two separate trucks and try to convince two drivers to start at least half an hour earlier to have a chance at being there by 7 am if they are quick at tying down their loads as well as the extra work the morning crew will have on monday to load the two other trucks that couldn't get pre-loaded as they're outside higher and won't get here until 6am at the earliest and that's assuming i can even find the trucks on such short notice considering most companies have their trucks completely booked out by midday for the next business day freak you don't tell me you can't do it last week i ordered 50 links and it was here three hours later so don't freaking tell me you can't do it may i ask who you ordered it through we have a few sites around the state that hold stock materials and can be couriered and assumed correctly that this is what had happened dave is the guy i normally speak to about that stuff oh from our site that is literally 20 minutes from you that had the stock on hand so they only needed to put it on a truck that was going that way apparently this is where my smart bud nature had pushed him over the edge because he hung up on me and i had wrongly assumed he got the message that he was asking the impossible and conceded but no i had gotten a call from the big boss asking me to come up to his office about 10 minutes later when i got there the sales manager was there also the boss says what's this i am told you refuse a customer their delivery before i can respond sales manager says i just got off the phone to a customer who i was about to put on account telling me that you were rude and offensive and he expects his delivery hmm okay so in answer to your question boss yes i have refused to customer their delivery on the grounds that we can't make that time slot as we are already booked up until tuesday afternoon and no sales manager i wasn't rude or offensive but if he took offense to anything i said then that's on him as offense is taken not given ba says okay why can't we make that delivery i say well because the 23 tons of steel he ordered was originally confirmed for tuesday afternoon on a semi with no crane as they apparently had a crane on site however he asked for it to be monday morning at 7 00 am split onto two rigid crane trucks only 25 minutes ago thinking this was a satisfactory answer i had assumed they would realize what a douche canoe this guy was sales manager says what do you mean that's no reason we can't get the steal to him at this point i had lost my patience as the sales team seemed to think they could get their way no matter what because management always backed them i don't know what it's like in other countries but here in australia we have two ways of reacting once we lose our patience get angry or become a downright smart butt i chose the second path apart from the fact that we have 280 tons of steel already booked for other customers all our crane trucks are booked to confirm slots and i would have more chance of meeting the queen of england at a local pub while ozzy osbourne was biting the head off a bat and getting another two trucks booked before i finish boss says there's no need for that but surely we can resolve this so everyone is happy sales manager says get the steal to the customer and i'll be happy i say stop thinking that i have a magic truck spawning one that i wave every time you guys place an urgent order or a customer rings complaining they can't change the date and time of their delivery and i'll be a little less annoyed this is where things went south the boss says well this is a potential account customer so here's what needs to happen you will find a way to get this done or you will find another job effective immediately well looks like i'm finding another job because there is no way i can get two trucks from here to side by 7am monday morning and keep my other job deadlines that i have already confirmed i then stood up and walked out of the office back to the dispatch office where my desk was wiped my personal files my own notes and spreadsheets i kept that helped me in my job from the computer i worked on shut my computer down and collected my personal belongings from the tea room in the desk drawers the guy who also worked in the office he worked as the driver safety check and made sure the trucks were always maintained and compliant maintenance guy or mg asked what was going on to which i shrugged and responded you know that glide north guy from before he just complained to a sales rep who in turn complained to big boss and they told me to find a way of getting it done or find another job so i guess i find another job maintenance guy says yeah but you haven't printed any of the manifests or done the courier bookings for monday morning i say i'm just following instructions and finding another job effective immediately because they did tell me to do that if i didn't find a way the desk phone rang but i didn't answer because it was the sales manager then it rang again this time big boss but i still didn't answer because as far as i was concerned i was now fired effective immediately my mobile ring next from a number i didn't recognize but i answered because of my karate school and being a potential new student however it was big boss on his personal mobile big boss says why didn't you answer your desk phone i say oh because effective immediately were the words used hence i no longer work here and i'm not obligated to answer the phone at the desk i no longer am employed to sit at thank you for the employment boss by the way you may need to send someone to organize the manifests and courier bookings for monday as i normally do that in my last 90 minutes to ensure any cancellations are caught before i leave and good luck finding a way of delivering that steel to clyde north at 7am on monday morning i hung up the phone and said my goodbyes to the few people i actually liked and got along with on my way out however as i finished putting my things in my car i had the sales manager and big boss stop me at my car telling me i had to finish out the day to which i smiled and responded effective immediately are words i am happy to comply with got in my car and drove to my dojo where thanks to my leave payout i can now run full-time karate and kabuto traditional weapons classes if i was in that situation i too would probably want to just drop it and walk out and accept that they fired me there obviously it was a veiled threat to try and make them do the impossible but obviously opie was so far over it and felt so disrespected that it wasn't even worth his time to try and consider any other form of recourse so my question for you is if this was you would you have walked out too let me know in the comments down below and our next story is by absentee or two i'll take the free mini vacation for zero dollars alex a little background i took a position within my company that required a cross-country relocation from the west coast to the east coast along with a change in corporate divisions i knew as part of this deal i'd have to return to the west coast once or twice a year a total of maybe six to eight days a year to handle some integration things so i packed up left family and friends and got happily settled in at the new job a few months go by before the topic of a return trip to the west coast pops up in a meeting the guy that organizes our release schedules has pulled some dates out of his butt for the trip it's a monday to thursday we coordinate with the customer and carve all this into granite let me take a quick detour here the guy who maintains our schedule is dean dean is paid a princely sum to maintain an ms project schedule and do a couple other simple things dean doesn't seem willing to use the ms project feature that allows you to import holidays into your schedule so he once picked some arbitrary dates for a couple hardware techs to do work over what turned out to be thanksgiving it happens that this division of mondo corp doesn't pay us to travel on weekends and dean has me meeting the customer on monday morning i bring it up in our next staff meeting to confirm that indeed unlike my old division they won't pay for weekend travel my manager says nope no pay for weekend travel i'm not happy i have to donate half a day on sunday to the company i have a little epiphany i ask if friday travel is authorized my manager says sure why not i ask again i can fly back to the west coast on friday morning get a rental car stay three extra nights and mondo corp will pay the answer is still yes i spent the weekend revisiting my favorite eating haunts visiting family visiting friends and in general having a good time all paid for by mondo corp i get to work monday morning with a nice tan and a bit of a hangover op take that privilege and run with it as much as you can if they're willing to pay for you to have a good time you go ahead and do that and you enjoy yourself these mini paid vacations absolutely perfect i'm sure anybody would love to have that

back i worked at a call center that was contracted to a certain three-letter mobile company that reminds me of my favorite star wars vehicle the atat walker i was actually a team lead supervisor but q was high so i jumped on the phone to help first call was someone who was either driving with her windows down or sitting behind a jet she was having issues with one service or another that we offered we always start calls with the same thanks for calling atat my name is mika can i get your name please she just starts spouting her issue completely ignoring what i said very common after hearing her out as best i could i reassure her i understand what she is dealing with and should be able to clear it up fairly fast we just need to authenticate into the account so i can actually make changes she says she spoke to someone before me and they already authenticated so why should she have to do it again god forbid you have to give out the four digit pin you set up for exactly this situation it turned into a huge deal to her i am driving i don't have time for this crap get me your supervisor oh boy here we go ma'am i actually am a supervisor just doing some phone time to help clear our queue if there is any issues i am the one to clear it up no you get me your supervisor anytime there are escalations on a supervisor we would just go grab another team leader at the same level to go on and likely repeat exactly what we just told the customer however because she wasn't authenticated in no one was going to take the call after about 2 minutes i pop back in and try once again to explain i am wanting to help i told her if she didn't want to give her pin i can send a text or the code in it to one of the numbers on the account just so we can get through this one dang page i did not expect her response excuse me you do not have permission to send anything to my phone i did not tell you that you could do something like that you know what you are a stupid batter i want to speak to anyone other than your stupid butt i really weighed my choices on this and said i will be happy to do that to you i put her on hold after about four minutes muted my phone and took her off for about 20 seconds then put her back on hold another three minutes pulled up my company directory picked an affiliate company ph number and hit transfer i stayed on the line long enough to hear the other line get answered thank you for calling mcdonald's corporate headquarters and just drop the line i downloaded that call and turned her insult into my text tone probably the most satisfying thing to ever happen for me at that job so glad to not be there anymore so attached to op's post is the actual clip of her saying you are a batter of course the actual word is too inappropriate to actually post anything here but it's kind of funny that they actually saved that and they actually had that and they could share it sometimes you turn the nastiest people's words into the funniest moments but with that being said that's all the time we have for today so if you enjoyed the stories today please consider giving the video a like and if you haven't subscribe and turn notifications on so you'll never
