Love hearing about companies getting screwed over when they try to screw their workers. Delicious!
My roomie is a truck driver. As far as I understand he is salaried, but it’s a fair wage. He also gets compensation for work outside of his normal hours, and bonus pay for “uncomfortable working hours.”
So the first eight hours, provided it’s not a night shift or a holiday, he gets normal pay. Any hour after those first eight hours he gets overtime pay, I believe standard there is double the amount. Holiday/uncomfortable pay I think is also doubled.
Because of the nature of the work he racks up overtime almost daily and takes home a decent sized paycheck each month.
When I was a kid (late teens) I read a Henry Miller book that had a line something like,“Do exactly what they tell you to do, and let them live to regret it.” Just made me appreciate malicious compliance for most of my working life.
Did 800mb broke his mind or did the pretty print did something weird or just the fact it formatted 800mb in the eay 2000s? Because I am trying to figure out why that was the only question.
Edit: just realized is a repost by someone else. Now I am left with the question.
I figure it was two things. First, the pretty printer did something so he knew it was all pretty printed. He asked that to show he really did go over every line (even if not true he probably made the effort hence the month delay).
Second he probably thought, dang these guys wrote 800 mb of code in six months. They’re good 。
I love malicious compliance stories, but they're so much better when OP does everything in their power to help the situation and in the end they have to maliciously comply. This feels like a situation where OP was the expert and rather than correct Ron, just told him to sign. I'd make mistakes all the time at my job if I had to know every minor detail about the jobs underneath me. I acknowledge Ron probably micromanaged, but this feels less satisfactory to me because OP SHOULD have told Ron the consequences and instead opted to try to screw him over anyway.
