When you give a demand, it's always wise to make sure that you're not demanding something that you don't actually want to deal with—being woken up before 6 AM anytime one of your employees needs to call out would fit right into that category.
This manager tried to tell their employee that they weren't going to be paid sick leave for the hours they missed since they hadn't called out before 6 AM, according to the "company policy." By the manager's reasoning, this meant that they hadn't appropriately called out from their shift. The issue is that the manager normally didn't start work until 10 AM and was generally unreachable before that time.
To ensure that they were compliant when the worker had to call out sick the following day, they first tried to call their workplace. After receiving no answer, they called their manager directly, who groggily answered the phone, not thrilled to be woken. After that, the policy was mysteriously changed.
Read on for this brilliant tale of workplace malicious compliance. Next, check out this boss who got a customer to withdraw their complaint by pretending to fire the worker.
