Landscaper Wants To Get Paid By The Hour, Learns Humbling Lesson

Man, this turned out to be quite the wholesome tale of malicious compliance. If anything, it wasn't really malicious at all. Steve gave Jim the opportunity to work with the kind of setup he wanted, and Jim ultimately learned that the original way of doing things was the far better way to operate. And then, when it's all said and done, Steve ends up giving Jim the extra bit of money, and letting him get back to the kind of work he learned that he wanted to do. If only the world had more bosses like Steve.

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance + Join u/Clickity_clickity • 2y The Story of Steve and Jim: I want to work by the hour! L This isn't my story, but the story of a friend of mine l'm going to call Steve. He ownes a landscaping business and has several employees. They work hard and get along really well. Steve pays them for their work done by the yard, not by the hour, in addition to buying his workers two meals a day. Steve hired a guy named Jim, who isn't a bad worker at all. Jim is just a little sl

2.

Text - Text - Jim decided to start a fuss. "I don't like that we're getting paid by the yard," he told Steve one day. "I wanna be paid by the hour." Steve explained to Jim that, when you break it down, being paid by the yard comes out to over $10 an hour (about $22 in today's money, this was back in the 80's)--or more, depending on how many yards get done--and his hourly workers only make minimum wage. Steve further explained that the paid-by-the-yard workers get perks like meals, and operate on

3.

Text - Text - Day 1 Jim showed up, ready and raring to go. He decided, it appeared, to prove to Steve that being hourly doesn't mean he'll slack off! Like I said, Jim is a good guy and not a bad worker; he has a good work ethic and a big sense of pride. A couple yards got done, and it's lunchtime. Steve grabs everyone's order and asks Jim if he is going to buy anything. Jim looked confused. "What do you mean?"

4.

Text - Text - Steve re-explained. "If you're going hourly, I can't cover your meals anymore. You'll have to buy your own lunch." Jim grumbled but ordered something small, and after lunch they all got back to work. Day 2 The crew was down two guys. Jim was in a good mood, maybe out of schadenfreude, because less guys on the crew meant less yards done--but Jim was going to make the same amount either way! With a little bit of a smug attitude, Jim got ready for work, but when he looked at the job l

5.

Text - Text - Jim hadn't noticed that Steve did this anytime he had a smaller crew: both because it guaranteed his guys were making over the legally-required minimum for per-part work, and because it kept their pay consistent. Day 3 They got a lot of yards done this day. In fact, they worked really well together that day, and really dug their heels in to get the last few yards on the schedule done. They'd taken about two hours less than expected, so everybody was able to head home early. Jim ask

6.

Text - Text - Jim showed up to work a little late, because the extra three hours of hedge-trimming had left him more exhausted than expected. Steve was placing an order for breakfast as he showed up, and he just stood there for a few minutes as he watched Steve writing down orders for bacon and eggs and pancakes. Finally Steve stopped at Jim. Steve didn't say anything about Jim's tardiness; it was clear Jim had worked hard the previous night. "You buying anything, Jim?" Jim swallowed hard. "No,

7.

Text - Jim nodded. "Yes sir, I know. I.." I mentioned how much pride Jim had, and he really couldn't buck up enough to admit he had miscalculated. He knew he was wrong, but he was prepared to suffer. Steve, however, was a good dude. He recognized where Jim had erred, and didn't lord it over him. He made it plain and simple: "I'll just put you down for some eggs and bacon, then." And with an understanding and appreciative look, Jim started packing the truck for the morning. They never really disc

Choosing Beggar Expects Drummer To Play For Free, Drummer Sets Them Straight

Yikes. This entitled musician had the audacity to ask a talented drummer to fly out from Germany on their own dime, and also play the commercial gig for free. When confronted on the absurdity of the "offer", the choosing beggar tries to play the lame "do it for the love of music" card. Yeah, the love is great and all, but people gotta eat, my dude. Clearly, there was no wiggle room in this guy's entitled little bubble.

1.

Text - Hey bro, saw you play at the with gig. You are amazing bro! 18:23 Hey I appreciate that, man. Glad you had a good time!

2.

Text - No worries bro! So l'll just get to the point bro. Listen. In the end of the month there's a Product launch and like a dinner sort of thing and my band needs a drummer for that show. It's gonna be 4 sets around 45 minutes each. I heard your the best drummer in town to ask. Would you be intrested in it?

3.

Text - Sounds great, man. I'm not really sure if you've noticed though, but I live in Germany now, so it may be a bit trickier Have you got a solid date? No worries bro. You can just fly here right?

4.

Text - Of course man! Just let me know what dates work for you and we'll work something out. Seeing as you're going to have to fly me out, we can even work something out with the rate okay firstly I thought you will do this for free and also have you seen the costs of a flight from Germany to lol

5.

Text - So let me get this straight. You want me to take the time to learn your repertoire, take time off work, fly down to on my own dime to play a commercial gig for absolutely free? Why not bro? It's the love of music that feeds us right?

6.

Text - Actually, it's the money I earn which I exchange for food that does the trick... Either way, I'm sorry, but l'm going to have to decline this offer. It's a rly good gig actually and I think your making a big mistake to not do it. also you just told me yes and now you tell me no. It's a little bit unprofessional bro comeon

7.

Text - bro I already told the band that we are going to have the best drummer playing with us come on bro. I was praying to jesus that you will say yes and he answered my prayers so come on bro Like I said, I'm happy to do it if you're willing to fly me down and I'm happy to give you a good rate because of it. It makes no sense for me to do it for free. It's an absolutely ridiculous offer.

8.

Text - Look i'm going throuh a divorce and I need this gig bro. Dont do this to me I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm not doing it for free are you heartless?

Drivers Park Illegally In Handicap Spots, Parking Lot Grinch Saves The Day

While it was certainly a tough day for the drivers that had their cars towed, they also could've avoided that unfortunate, costly development if they'd just been a bit more considerate, and played by the rules. What a "ballet" kind of scene that must've been, when all those tow trucks and cop cars showed up. Parking Lot Grinch shouldn't be too hard on themselves. They were just trying to do the right thing for someone who really needed the extra support.

1.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/maniacallygrinning • 188d + Join 1 I was the disabled parking Grinch! Hi, y'all. this was years ago, at Christmas time at Target. I had JUST given birth to my daughter and ran to the store to get diapers (and a moment of peace). I parked in BF Egypt, walked past a zillion cars, and saw a woman slowly driving past all the full disabled spots. She is almost in tears, so I walk up and ask if she is ok. She explodes in tears saying she is in a wheelchair and needs a disabled

2.

Text - I see a spot about to open up and hold it for her. She parks, thanks me and I go into the store to tell them about the illegal disabled parking. The Target lady says, yep, happens all the time., she makes an announcement to the store asking folks to move their cars. I ask if I can use her phone. I call the police (our city is large but I swear the cops are bored, so if you make a call, they send EVERYONE). I say Hi- it's OP calling from Target. We have 18 disabled spaces and only one has

3.

Text - After getting the stuff I needed (and some Christmas candy, because candy) I was walking back to my car... I saw what the cops were doing! When someone came with their baskets full of bags, searching for their car, an officer would call out, who has the '92 yellow Sentra? The illegal parkers would be directed to an officer, given a $345 ticket and the address of the impound place! And each cop said, Merry Christmas to them! OUCH! Now know it was a d!ck move to do this at the holidays but

4.

Text - Just an extra tidbit, both my kids are now adults and both are disabled. Prior to this incident, I had never thought much of being disabled. Now l'm a full-time advocate for the disabled! Edit: Thank you all for the support of disabled drivers! As you can tell I like exclamation points. A few folks thought I was excited because I had disabled kids (because of the exclamation point). I'm excited my kids are so great, regardless of disability (grin). I love all the energy in the replies. Th

Choosing Beggar Asks For Classmate's Notes, Gets Rejected, Has Meltdown

Inanimate Objects With A Whole Lot of Personality

Our brains are so wired to look for human faces and figures that it's not hard to see a pumpkin and determine that it's very angry. Also, it's kind of nice when a spill smiles up at you. It's like the spill itself is telling you not to worry. Things just happen to look like other things and luckily for us, most aren't terribly creepy, but you never know.
