r/maliciouscompliance | "You want 2000 parcels to help grow my business? Ok!"

hey everybody my name is Steven and welcome back to the storytime channel without wasting any time let's get into our stories of the day want me to send out 2000 parcels to help grow my business okay in 2017 I signed for my webshop a contract with our national mail carrier to deliver my parcels the more parcels the better rates you get in my league they had a one thousand two thousand or five thousand parcel target contract I went with the 2k one at the end of year one there would be an evaluation and they said they would be very flexible and reasonable because their priority is to help grow my business I actually had that in writing for any parcel I'd sent through them beyond the 2000 target I'd get a 50% of refund of the difference between the 2,000 and 5,000 raked an example mm rate is 3.5 euro per parcel and 5000 rate is 3 euro per parcel they would refund me point 25 euro back for each parcel above my 2000 goal on the other hand for each parcel I was short at the end of the year of the 2000 target they would charge me double the difference between the 2,000 and 5,000 rate on top of a flat rate penalty fee so basically one euro per parcel I was short in the above example plus penalty end of year 1 my contract is two weeks away and I'm sitting at eighteen fifty parcels thinking that ninety two point five percent of my target is pretty good for year one I gave them a call to talk about the extra charges and the penalty and see if I could get the five thousand rate for the next year as I was seeing an expecting strong growth in the end it was their priority to help grow my business and they were very flexible and reasonable no sir they were dead set on me paying the penalty charged me extra for the 150 parcels and on top of that they would set me back to the more expensive 1000 target rate for the next year try to escalate it but to no avail so far for help growing my business and being very flexible and reasonable in comes malicious compliance I did the math and paying the penalty plus extra charges was nearly double of what it would cost me to reach my target if I would just pay for a hundred fifty extra parcels out of my own pocket I bought 150 bubble wrap envelopes dirt cheap printed 150 stickers with my own address put those on each envelope drove to the mail office and dropped off 150 empty envelopes next morning the mailman arrives at my door with a grin on his face he is a cool guy and a stash of envelopes wondering what the Freak am i up to later that day I called them to let them know I had reached my target and that I would not renew my contract I signed with a competitor for about the same price per parcel no strings attached and did 17,000 parcels in year 2 which amounts to around 50,000 euro in business they missed out on so let me ask you this if you were in Opie's shoes at eighteen fifty parcels knowing you needed a hundred and fifty more to reach that target and this national mail carrier is trying to shortchange you and force you to pay these penalties what would you do let me know what you would have done in the comments below boss hired me with purple hair year later unnaturally colored hair no longer allowed so this is just me venting about something that happened to me a few years ago while having unnaturally colored hair still do by the way it currently looks just like my reddit avatar at the moment I could go on and on about how it sucks that companies won't hire you just because you have unnaturally colored hair it doesn't matter how good your resume is but that's a story for another day right now I'm going with the worst instance of this being an issue with an employer I had when I was brought in for an interview for a hardware store I had most of the front of my hair dyed in a bright lilac color the interview went smoothly in the main boss of the place even complimented my hair they went so far as to ask if I dye it often to which I said yes I change it every few months and was planning on going with a pink color next month bring so they were fully aware of the fact that I had no intentions of changing it to a natural color before hiring me I was brought on to the team and put into the garden department and I was the only one on staff ahead unnaturally colored hair I of course would change the color every few months and life went on I got nothing but compliments from customers and staff alike I worked there for about a year with no issue though a few other staff members over that year handedly told me that other employees quit prior to my employment because of the hair policy the store had I was confused by this since nobody had said anything to me when I was hired nor in the almost year I worked there so I shrugged it off that is until that was brought into the bosses area and he asked why my hair was dyed blue as it was against or dress code and I needed to have it changed by my next shift which again this is the guy who hired me with purple hair I was so dumbfounded that I even pointed that out to him he kind of sputtered and said that there was a change in policy and stated that it needed to be changed by tomorrow what had made me mad about this was that I had just purchased my next dye kit as the blue color was finally starting to show signs of fading I asked if I could have more time as it would take a while to bleach the color out of my hair safely without damaging it his solution dye my whole head black now let's just say I have many problems with that I spent years and quite a bit of money safely bleaching my hair in the front to be able to color it whatever I like especially since my natural color is a dark Auburn and it is almost impossible for any dye to take to it as well as to bleach it wide enough to take color it took me forever and quite a few salon visits to make it this way in the first place so half of my hair was bright blue and half of it was a dark purplish red for anybody who knows about coloring hair reds and blues are the two worst colors to get out of hair and just dying over it won't exactly work trust me I've tried to do similar methods on coloring mistakes dying over bright neon colors with a darker color won't always work if the dye doesn't take it can just fade after a few washes and reveal the neon color underneath least that's what has happened to me quite a few times plus one day I wanted to dye my whole head because I hate dark colors from my hair why else would I color it such bright pretty colors in the first place so I politely mentioned that it would just fade and be blue or red again after a few weeks if I did what he was asking he scoffed suggested dyeing it over a couple more times and finally just said to fix it as soon as possible which I did I turned my hair silver over the course of a week I used as much color remover and bleach as I could safely of course and did many oil and repair treatments on my hair in between he couldn't do jack crab because then the older staff would also have to get in trouble for having silver or white hair I ended up quitting a month later though as a better job came up that's such a great idea no unnatural hair colors so you go silver because you can't argue that hey Silver's an unnatural hair color even if it normally is for a younger person guests cannot spend the night at my property back when I was in college I lived in a two-bedroom apartment with a nice German student he was a nice guy and he would often have his friends over I didn't mind it at all because I had just moved to the area and needed new friends anyways our landlady though she was a nightmare she was the small grumpy lady who would complain over the smallest things she doesn't live with us but tries to control everything the color of our sheets the scent of candles that we light where we put our stuff etc needless to say we hated her we pay for our electricity and water so it doesn't matter if we have our friends and family stay over once in a while because whatever they consume more of we will foot the bill ourselves anyways my sister visits me once a month for one night just whenever she's in town one day my landlord found out and got so mad she wanted to call the cops on us for not respecting the rule of guests cannot spend the night at her property the only reason she does this is because she feels if a guest would stay the night they would have to pay her the full rent for the month the month but two malicious compliance when one of my German roommates friends was laid off from his main job he was left homeless with only a grave shift part-time job he asked if he could stay with us for about a week or two I told him I didn't mind but my landlady might mind they told me not to worry and she was fuming when she found out easily the day after he decided to stay with us because she checks on us unannounced every other day and has security cameras outside our door she threatened to call the cops on us again and all my roommates said was what she told us explicitly no one can spend the night at your property he is never here at night because he's working so there's no rule broken here she had nothing to say and left we could hear her screaming from his side her car that was parked right outside edit I had to pull my copy of the contract out and we didn't have a specific Clause on overnight guests nor do we have a clause on visits it did say at the end though that whatever isn't explicitly stated when questioned will pivot on California state laws so this was totally illegal my roommate and I were just young stupid international students who let her get away with it but it definitely makes for a fun story though now I'm no expert on laws and stuff but it does definitely sound like a number of things here probably aren't legal that the landlord is doing I'm glad the landlord stopped bothering them after this incident or at least it sounds like they did blood slides must be perfect you got it boss a few years ago I worked for a diagnostic company named after a certain mythical Firebird this was a veterinary diagnostic company and I was a saito technician my job was to perform cbc counts evaluate cerebrospinal fluid fix tissue and formalin for the histology make fecal smears for our micro bio team slice brain matter and fix it into paraffin blocks you name it I even sorted sperm by sex for dairy farms who wanted to have their breedings result in fewer males now I love the work it was dirty work don't get me wrong I dealt with everything from gallon jars of horse urine to chunks of flesh torn from cancer ridden dogs even a polar bear head from a suspected smuggling case my proudest moment was confirming pregnancies including being on the phone with a zoo while I confirmed pregnancy in a lovely wolf eel named Matilda I was an overnight tech so I didn't interact with the bosses pathologist's microbiologists etc I took care of the emergencies and gave any critical data to the veterinarian's on the case but most of the time it was stuff that could wait for the pathologists to wake up the chief pathologist got the worst cases and he was a prick I was to have all of his slides data and patient files arranged alphabetically on his desk by 6:00 a.m. and he meant 6:00 a.m. I came in at 6:05 because a chunky sample had clogged the adviye and he was sitting at his desk in complete and total darkness waiting for me he switched on the lamp when I walked in and gave me a heart attack now this chief pathologist didn't like me I'm loud I have crazy hair and stretched ears were laboratory workers no one from the public interacts with us so the dress code boils down to as long as this lab safe you're good being an ancient chief pathologist with the withered soul of a Dementor he didn't like this he hated that I was gay that I joked around with coworkers in his mind this was austere work and were never allowed to have any fun ever so he began sending back my slide books this man would wake me up at 9:00 a.m. after a ten-hour shift and ask why sample 106 five four - was chunky as in he thought the blood on the slide was too thick to read and demanded that I remake it for the next morning now I take pride in my work people trust vets to diagnose their pet correctly and it's my job to help fluffy recover just as much as the vets not to mention I saw repeated draws so I knew a few patients by name alone I asked a few other texts to give feedback on my slides and got approval from them before sending them up to the de mentor he began sending back whole lots of slides to the point where he was doubling and tripling my work for the night the clients began to notice I wasn't spending as long and sperm sorting in the dairy got P a few faecal had to be delayed always the same feedback from the de mentor the slides are too thick I can't read the slides you're killing patience he once marched downstairs and actually threw a book of glass slides at my head don't freaking sent him up here until they're perfect he snarled and marched back upstairs I was petrified holding a tray of urine and covered in broken borosilicate glass not send them up until they're perfect absolutely sir I shoved my non-emergency cases off on a co-worker who needed more sperm urine and fecal practice and I threw my back into making blood and CSF slides my tissue was eagerly taken up by a co-worker who wanted to learn histo so my work was covered since everyone hated the Dementor it wasn't hard to get folks to help me I pulled slides the Dementor had made personally and set that as my standard presumably he's able to read his own freakin slides I did them over and over again until they were perfect no cells were ruptured no streaks died to perfection labeled clearly as anything I could label these were slides that could have gone to the god dang Museum of hematology they were actually better than his I sent a 300 slide lot of perfect beautiful lovely slides to my boss he admires them complements my work and I get the paperwork packet ready not only do I organize it by alphanumeric patient name a number I organize it by ER cases on top so he doesn't have to hunt for them I ask the veterinarians for patient records and attach those I put them each in their own lovely case folder labeled with the patient number and name I send this gorgeous packet up to the Dementor exactly at 6 a.m. he's of course waiting he picks up a slide sets it on the microscope and immediately I see him stop there beautiful you can see every white blood cell the pathogen stand out like I get freakin asked them to I'm standing there with a crap eating grin on my face think of first time and go downstairs to gather my things I'm woken up again this time by H R they ask me to come in and nervously I Drive to the lab I find out the Dementor is accusing me of wasting sample as I had essentially used up most of the sample prepping the slides after all the other text had pawed the tubes there was only enough for one or two retest runs there were other technicians names on histo fecal and urine reports so some of the other doctors got a little pee I tell HR about the Dementors screaming at me to not send the blood slides until they were perfect since I am committed to the health and well-being of my patients I pulled slides the Dementor had made and followed his standard by his own standards the slides were in a word perfect HR immediately turned on him and asked why he would ask me to be written up for performing my job Dementor grumbled something about the samples but since there was enough for analysis he couldn't really nail me on anything unfortunately the Dement or did eventually win and get me fired he complained about everything under the Sun including things like asking why diarrhea samples were streaked a nature of the beast but I never heard anything about any blood samples I ever handed him ever again and since pathology labs keep example slides indefinitely for reference those beautiful slides I made will be standing next to his for eternity I hope that puts a burr up as but as much as it helps me sleep at night I like to imagine he has to pull those perfect slides to reference a case and versus his leathery lips at the initials on the slide sounds to me like this dude probably had too much see in the operations of this place so Opie never truly stood a chance but it probably felt pretty good to get back at him with these slides even though in the end they did end up losing their job but with that being said that's all the time we have for today so what I want to know is which of these stories is your personal favorite and why let me know in the comments below and thank you all so much for
