Landlord Forces Tennant to Show Apartment, They Bluntly Reveal Every Issue With the Place
This landlord threatened legal action against their tenant if the tenant refused to let them show the apartment while they were still living there. The tenant did not want the grief of going through a legal process with their terrible landlord, so they caved under pressure and allowed the apartment viewings to occur.
This thread was posted to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the tenant after they faced a long list of issues with their current landlord. This included the landlord stealing $10k of overpayments from them and refusing to return it. They gave up battling and decided to comply with the landlord's demands maliciously.
"So now," the tenant explained, "Every potential renter gets the grand tour of EVERY SINGLE THING the landlord has failed to fix, as well as how egregiously long it's been since I requested repair."
"Additionally, they get a detailed explanation of how the management company stole my 10k overpayment and how I've been living rent-free for months because they refused to give it back."
IT Specialist Automates Entire Job, Does Job in Ten Minutes A Day
This poster claims to have set up a remote workstation for their tech job. And "in about a week" they were able to "write, debug, and perfect a simple script that performed [their] entire job."
It all just goes back to that old saying, often attributed to Billionaire Bill Gates, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."
Often companies aren't willing to pay employees enough to warrant their extra effort and innovation. A lack of trust between the two parties can hinder actual progress as the employee often fears that their own innovation could make them redundant.
This is probably why we see stories like this popping up so frequently. When the chance presents itself, tech-savvy employees are more than happy to dramatically increase the efficiency of their tasks, but they need to know that they can trust their employer to reward that innovation, rather than blindly punish it.
All of this was what led Redditor u/throwaway59724 to automate their role at the first chance possible.
Their script was able to scan on-site drives for new files and then process them as required. u/throwaway59724 now reports that they now "Clock in every day, play video games or do whatever, and at the end of the day [they] look over the logs to make sure everything ran smoothly… then clock out. [They're] only at their desk maybe 10 minutes a day."
It sure sounds like u/throwaway59724 has unlocked a cheat code to life. All they had to do was enter the following into their menu screen at startup: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A.
Now, you too, armed with that knowledge can go unlock your own automated income.
Read on for the full story.
