'I received a decrease in my pay': Employee gets pay docked for grammar mistakes, gets revenge on boss


Getting your pay docked because you didn't talk good?! Cue malicious compliance!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Nancamp, who opened up about an experience they had editing English lesson plans for a company comprised mostly of non-native speakers. The Redditor and their boss also had differences of opinion because the boss followed UK English. This is clearly a case of bad management and unclear rules. If the Redditor knew it was part of their job description to call out other coworkers on their mistakes or their pay would be reduced, things obviously would have turned out differently. Instead, they just received a paycheck with a note after the fact. What followed was some gloriously petty revenge, as the original poster started calling out mistakes on lesson plans as instructed. Whose mistakes did they just so happen to discover? Isn't it obvious? Their boss's errors!
