r/Maliciouscompliance How I Got Revenge on a Rich A-Hole

welcome to our sloshed malicious compliance where your wish is my command my parents night one vacation a few years back and hanging out at a hotel bar this place was one of those places that was cheap but everyone who stayed there thought they were better than everyone else a couple walked in talking about how nice and quaint the bar looked they sat down at the table next to us you were supposed to order your drinks at the bar then sit down but since it was a slow night the bartender walked over and served them the bartender said hi what can I get you would wines do you have tonight's the bartender reads off the wine list Oh a rose wine would be just perfect make it too sure that'll be $15 we're gonna open a tab unfortunately we don't do taps here you have to either charge it to your room or pay cash he throws his room card on the table Oh fine charge it to that they laugh as the bartender grabs the card and heads back to the bar the bartender pours their drinks and brings them back over the first thing they did was hold up the glasses hmm these are rather small do you have any bigger glasses unfortunately those are the standard glasses really we're paying 750 a glass and you're going to get chinzy on us surely you have bigger glasses come on the bartender was clearly getting annoyed okay I'll go check he went to the bar and came back out with two glasses that I think we're supposed to be for margaritas but we're at least twice the size as the wine glasses he held them up for them how are these oh those are perfect yes thank you so the bartender puts the bigger glasses on their table then takes the smaller glasses and dumps them into the bigger glasses is there anything else I can help you with they didn't say anything just sat there dumbfounded great my parents and I started losing it we tried not to laugh but we were all a bit inebriated I guess the bartender looked over at us and smiled my dad gave him an extra $10 tip and said thanks for the laughs don't want F with the people who serve your drinks Lowell this story didn't go where I thought it was going I thought he was gonna give them the big glasses then fill them with wine and charge them extra but I like this bartenders approach this is way funnier our next reddit post is from ours to rock before we begin dear readers a brief bit of backstory I found that every company has a Tod you'll know who your Tod is because he's who you'll call when you don't know who to call when the unthinkable happens and everything's on fire and there's no hope of salvation Tod steps in to fix it Tod spends his entire time just fixing the unfixable he's been with the company since the dawn of time knows the true name of several demons and was in the room when the old magic was written our Tod has an elite team to be on call when stuff breaks each team member is the highest authority in the company for one specific thing or another they're the elite their word is law and to question them is to question Tod our story begins shortly after I'd accomplished my greatest goal and became the newest member of Todd's team now my company works with point of sale we sell computers software printers card readers and pretty much anything you need to make money from somewhere else after years working in the call center I proved myself worthy of Todd's attention I interviewed tested and became the specialist of third-party integration my focus is the connection between our product and whatever weird stuff your company wants to use examples of this include getting smart lights to change on command from ordering kiosks letting the staff control the new jukebox you bought with their employee ID cards or getting the sales data for the day to report to your Canadian counterparts in both French and English but only if someone buys the poutine saw a surprise that day and other fun conundrums that only the client can fathom it's important to note that during my time in the call center I was paid hourly as a specialist I would be made a salaried employee and would be on-call after accepting the position I was told that I would have a trial period of one month to prove myself I would remain hourly but would have a pay increase to more closely match my expected rate as a salaried employee I would have the title change in new responsibilities of my job but I had this month to prove I was worth the extra dinero the first day of my new job we get a call from one of our more needy clients they lay out a series of demands one all of their stores must be upgraded to Windows 10 - as each door makes about 10k a day taking them down for a remodel is not acceptable three all of these upgrades must be done overnight while the store is closed for if the upgrade fails the store must be rolled back that night so they can open hourly 5 the window of time to do one of these upgrades is 8 hours 6 the fastest they've been able to do one is 10 hours all of this means one thing they need a specialist to do the upgrades one that knows their integration I give tada put me in coach nod and a deal is struck Todd is about to leave on vacation which leaves me under the control of Steve the director of the support center who used to be my boss before I worked for Todd I'm now on overnights four nights a week I upgrade these stores I supervise two of three technicians who are on-site in separate stores I do all the software they do all the hardware this process is staggered based on time zone so I generally am pulling 12-hour shifts the overtime is amazing especially paired with the raise I got fast forward a week or two the initial batch doesn't go the best I have a 40% failure rate this is due to scripts provided by both the client and me by the various third-party companies used by the stores including their music food delivery and credit card processors everyone on their side knows who the bad guy is here talks are in place and we're moving forward a meeting between the client and us is scheduled near the end of the week right in the middle of my off time as I said I'm working 12 hours a day I live a full hour from work and for security reasons can't do these upgrades outside the office I have 10 hours to eat sleep get up and eat again before work once I get to work there are no breaks on the upgrade train no lunch no stopping so I get home around 11 a.m. each day the meeting is set for 4:00 p.m. I can't get any reasonable sleep before the meeting or after Steve demands that I be there to account for my failures I already have another specialist designated as my proxy for these sorts of meetings because sleep the thing I also explained that I'm still hourly but he won't hear it he insists that I need to be there to explain why the project is going so poorly and that my explanation better not just be throwing other people under the bus he tries to explain that I'm salaried and therefore need to be there when the company needs me especially when I'm the one who's screwing up again I try to remind him of my probationary period but he won't listen and they're my friends begins the malicious compliance I clock in at 10 p.m. the day before the meeting I do my upgrades all three of which are successful due to what I assume is it changed in the third-party backend the scripts I'm provided with work perfectly this time and all goes well my corporate contact I report to in the morning tells me the meaning is just to go over the new changes to procedure we went through that night and I'll get the cliff notes in my email no need to attend the meeting I think them and sign out then I sit for six hours I twiddle my thumbs take a lunch break and a car nap and wait for the meeting when it's time I walk upstairs to the top floor the conference room where everyone but Steve is shocked to see me I calmly take my place and wait for the meeting to start stating that I was asked to be here the meeting lasts 30 minutes and consists of the new procedure praised for my diligence and a quick overview of how the timetable will change because of the past failures it's noted that my performance has prevented a lot of the sites from failing when they would have otherwise and the client is pleased with my work Steve who had previously blamed me for the failures sheepishly agrees that I was a good fit for the project then the meeting ends with the best part the person giving the talk states that she knows I'm asleep right now so she'll go over the changes with me personally when I get in tonight meanwhile the guy I asked to sit in on the meeting for me will work with them to set up the changes to be deployed about three hours of work so that it's all ready when I get in at ten the meeting ends Steve makes a comment about the changes being done by someone with more experience and hints that it should be my responsibility I cheerfully say that rather than waste my co-workers time I'll just do the changes myself I have my third or fourth when by now and I'm ready to go at the end of day two I've spent 36 hours at work caffeine is my only salvation and we're almost done near the end I am basically waiting for a technician at my last store to finish testing so I tell him to call me and shut my eyes for about half an hour just to rest a bit all as well I get called everything's green the vigil is over two of my friends insist on driving me home where I promptly pass out into the most heavenly sleep I've had in ages I wake up to an email asking me to hit into work for a meeting with HR it's my day off so I'm kind of perplexed I hit on in and apologized for being fashionably late the meeting is with head of HR who has a report that I was sleeping on the job there's camera footage of my 30 minute power nap I calmly explained that Steve had asked me to show up to the meeting and then asked me to stay later to set up the changes and by the time I took my nap during what I called my paid 30-minute break I'd been in the building for 35 hours I politely remind the HR head that I'm on my trial period and will be expecting overtime paid for that time it came out to about 33 hours in change due to my extended lunchbreak Todd returned from his vacation and tour Steve a new definition of duties from then on he would not be given control over Todd's team when he was away and we would report directly to the CEO the project completed without much incident and I passed my probation with flying colors Opie said that everyone knows a Todd in their company but I think the truth is everyone knows us Steve in their company our next reddit post is from pen name needed I was working at a country club where I was being paid almost nothing by our but having 10% of the clients bill given to me unless they said that they weren't paying it so despite the absurd workload I took the job let me say that these people were loaded some of the wealthiest folk in the city spending almost all day eating and drinking while their children would run around or play in the pools despite the money the large majority were nice really respectful folk especially the older ones one fateful sunny Saturday this man comes in with his family let's call him Joe Joe sits down at the same table as a lot of my regular Saturday clients a group of older gentlemen who ordered beer after beer and lots of specialty orders from the kitchen good day sir may I take your order sure bring me a Brand X beer and some ice cream for the kid Joe's K was a young boy around 9:00 called Billy who I'd seen around the club but had never talked to Joe's wife was Carmen who just not into the husband's request and off I went over the course of the next hour or so every time Billy saw me near him he would just ask me for another ice cream or soda etc due to the club's rules I had to go directly to Joe and ask for him to authorize the boys requests I was only doing my job and everyone at the table knew that using my arrivals and excuse to order more drinks Joe however was getting pretty angry and around the 8th time I arrived at AAG he grabbed me by the arm I'm trying to have a conversation here what's the deal now an old man said he's just doing his job Joe leave the kid alone I said your son once listen just give him whatever he asks you to get okay just don't bother me again I look around the table fuming as Joe let go of me and see the old man winked at me cue malicious compliance for the rest of the day whenever the boy asked for anything I would just give it to him in charge Joe's account it didn't take long for Billy to realize I wasn't going to his dad and his requests began to escalate what started as simple ice cream was now being portions and more portions of loaded fries sodas and probably more sugar than any kid could eat it was already night when Carmen came to me asking to close their bill it was monstrous Joe tried to argue with me and request a manager but the rest of the table reminded him of his demand to me he was forced by the manager to pay since there were multiple witness to his orders and Carmen made him upgrade my share to 15 percent of their bill as an apology needless to say he never treated me rudely again and the old guys never let him forget that story and then down in the comments frog spa wrote what I was thinking I bet Billy vomited in the back the Jaguar as his dad angry drove back home our next reddit posted from fnatic cake I work at an elite school and I mean elite the level of being the place many actors politicians and business people decided to put their children it costs at least $40,000 a year with many resources like a makerspace interactive boards one iPad per child and some of the best teachers in the city I'm an assistant to one of the reference hit teachers in lower school so I saw this happen very closely my school doesn't have a teacher's lounge and usually the teachers would only interact during the 15 minutes breaker during lunch of the teachers cafeteria since I started there were things like this and no one had an issue with it until last week when we received a message from HR that made everyone extremely angry only the specialist teachers and administrative employees are allowed to stay at the teachers cafeteria during the morning break assistants in class teachers are only to have their snack with their students and can grab their coffee in the break room from the janitorial staff so that means that out of nowhere we not only lose one more space where we can rest from the classroom madness but also we have to basically occupy a space that isn't ours janitorial staff also doesn't have a lot of space to rest so it would suck for everyone just to have coffee their justification was that since the teacher staff doubled in size since last year we needed to stop occupying so much of the cafeteria because it was getting too busy and people were taking too long on their breaks because of that as far as people knew nobody made that complaint and it was pulled out of hrs but people were visibly angry but nobody talked about anything until that's when the most amazing silent malicious compliance happened for the entire teaching staff we just grabbed our coffee and sat on the corridor in front of the teachers cafeteria now imagine just imagine about 35 to 40 teachers sitting on the floor everyone with coffee bread and butter having their break like nothing happened people would just stop by see what was happening and join in eventually we slowly would just start again going inside the teachers cafeteria and ignoring the hrs orders which is what made them go back on what they said earlier and allowing everyone to use the cafeteria normally but the most impressive thing is that no one talked to each other we just started doing the malicious compliance together like we already knew how to deal with this I'm not a hundred percent sure about this but I think that a bunch of people sitting in front of a door could be a major fire hazard so it's also possible that your protest could have gotten your school in a lot of trouble so it definitely makes sense that HR rolled back the policy because they were fighting a losing battle that was our slash malicious compliance and if you like this video then please let me know by hitting
