Employee Maliciously Complies To Work Only His 8 1/2 Hours, Makes The Company Lose $85k Per Year
Imagine doing your best to cover your coworker’s absence and taking on extra responsibilities, only to be told you’re not supposed to leave earlier. Well, this is what happened to one Redditor who shared an incident at work on the Malicious Compliance subreddit.
After starting to work as a supervisor at a manufacturing plant, Redditor Dorky_dad77 realized that “the 2nd shift supervisor is a train wreck.” Turns out, “he leaves an hour or two early from his shift 2-3 times a week.” Being a responsible employee, the author wrote: “I come in at around 8 pm to cover the last 3 hours of his shift and my full shift. At least once a week, I just do it.”
But the new boss Sarah had her own vision of running the plant. “I’m getting a formal warning for my early departures, going into my personnel file,” the author wrote, indicating that the tension reached a boiling point. So, he makes a maliciously compliant move and starts working not a minute more than he’s supposed to. Guess if Sarah is happy.

But the new boss Sarah was not happy with his early departures and filed a formal warning which went into the author’s personnel file
We reached out to Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed and ICF-approved career coach based in the UK, and asked about employees who feel pressured to work more than their scheduled hours without extra payment. “Depending on the industry they work in, this can be more or less common. If working overtime without getting compensated for the extra work is common in your industry, you’ll have a hard time to change this fact,” she explained.
“You might have to ask yourself if it’s the right industry for you, or if there’s another industry that would be better suited. If it’s, however, not common in your industry, you might have had bad luck with the company or manager,” Christine said and added that in this case, you could consider having an honest conversation with them about this fact, and explain that you need work boundaries in order to have a balanced work and personal life.
“Explain the value you already add to the company, and demonstrate that you’re able to add more value than perhaps other employees, without working overtime. Gather examples of this over a few weeks or months so you have a solid case.”
If an employer refuses to pay you for covering a coworker’s duties and working their hours, Christine said that you need to have an honest and direct conversation with your manager about this. “Explain that this isn’t right or sustainable, and that you need to be compensated for such extra work. Make sure you’re able to demonstrate how much value you’re already adding to the company, and explain what kind of extra work you’re willing to do, and what kind you’re not,” she explained.
And this is what people thought of this whole situation

Share on FacebookI don't understand- does "salaried" in the USA just mean you get a fixed salary and in return you have to work whatever hours your boss decides and you can do nothing about it if they decide you need to work more hours? Here in the UK a 'salaried' position still has a salary based on a fixed number of contracted weekly hours.
"Trainwreck" guy is probably the owner's best drinking buddy or something. Have seen that happen often enough. And whoever the owner or upper manager is doesn't give the faintest crap about the damage to their reputation or company to do something about their "friend". The big lesson is, don't EVER try to care more about your company than the owner or executives do.
I never could understand management hiring their incompetent buddies for jobs. It is rampant in corporate America. I could never understand if they didn't care, owed them one or if they didn't realize the buddy was incompetent.
Load More Replies...Work in IT, used to do "standby shifts" on a weekend, which paid a decent hourly for just being on standby, plus extra if something actually came up (and believe me, if something came up it was often mission-critical). At some point this changed to a shorter shift, unpaid but with the time off in-lieu, which for various reasons suited me quite well. Then some genius came to the conclusion that "being on standby" was the same as "lazing around watching Youtube", and that we'd better be doing normal productive work during those weekend shift hours, or else. Which in my case, meant they were expecting me to rearrange my weekend and inconvenience my family at somewhat antisocial hours (7am on a Saturday anyone?) and yet still do "normal" work, which basically would mean that for the "privilege" of doing weekend standby shifts, I would be rewarded with (checks notes) extra work. I informed them that I would therefore no longer be available for weekend standby shifts.
As they were chronically short-staffed in this highly-niche industry, that policy was soon rescinded.
Load More Replies...Ha ha the comment about two bosses. I worked at a place that gave me 3 different managers in 1 year and by the time I left I technically had 3 people who were my "boss". That wasn't even why I quit, just an example of their gross mismanagement. Oh yes the schadenfreude I felt when I learned they went bankrupt and closed their doors less than 3 years later...
I work at UPS and at one time I had three supervisors. Even though they were all good guys it was frustrating have 3 people tell me to do three different things. However one day as a walked about 30 feet and all three asked me to do three different things I realized this was a multiple choice problem. 😁 Which one of those things would I prefer doing! LOL When the other 2 asked why I was doing that I just said sup #3 told me to. 😄 From then on I loved having 3 sups as I could always pick the preferred job. 😀 The difference between adventure and ordeal is attitude. 🙂
Load More Replies...I'm doing the exact same thing right now. I work at a logistics company and we send prepacked food boxes. The manager always tells us "we have to put all the food back in the fridge at the end of the day" and I told him "if you want me to do that, you end production 20 minutes before the shift ends". He said no, I left all the stuff out and left when my shift was over and they had to throw away good for several thousand dollars. Most of our employees are 18-20 year old kids and immigrants. This is by design cuz they generally don't know the law or what rights they have. Me being a 39 year old native however DO know my rights so... He tried to come down on me for this and I stared him blankly in the face and said "I told you" and he went into a friggin tale spin and threaten to fire me. The problem is he can't legally do that in Sweden. I threatened to take him to court. He backed down and I have still done this several times since, never heard another word about it.
Sadly this doesn't fly in the US. Being largely at-will (the bane of labor), you can merely be fired for "something else" that is totally unrelated.

What you don't realize is that if you have an accident during the time you are covering for the missing staff member, you won't be covered at all 'cause you are not working accordingly to your contract. It baffles me how many people think they are doing malicious compliance when this is just compliance. The right move here is just to throw the other guy under the bus and let them sort it out and you to work your mandated contracted hours.
This makes no sense at all, 1: this guy didn't cause them any losses whatsoever. 2: it was never this guy's responsibility to make up for the previous shift supervisors shortcomings. None of this should have even happened, asinine b******t
Where I work, we have a manager that counsels the salaried employees to not "burn themselves out", and to "maintain a healthy work life/home life balance". However, this same manager has no compunction or qualms about working the hourly employees 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, with the hourly employees working through breaks and lunches to keep up.with the demands of production. She apparently feels that hourly employees who spend fully half of their lives at work are somehow immune to fatigue and burn-out.
Gotta love the idiot in the comment saying, "keep your resume for when the plague ends and places start hiring" every business on the planet has been desperately hiring for the past 2 years. You being a lazy f**k doesn't mean business stopped hiring.
I am a production/ warehouse supervisor. I work 4am to 730pm some weeks. Minimum of 4am to 5pm was 6 days a week until I complained. Now on 5 days. Sometimes doing almost 80 hrs a week. SALARY
So a supervisor regularly abandons his shift halfway through it and the company tolerates it for years? The story lacks key details, in my opinion. Was race, religion, national origin, sexual identity etc. a factor here?
Yeah something about this seems odd. Train Wreck was able to regularly leave early or call off, and yet OP had the book thrown at them for leaving early but coming in early to cover their hours, on top of coming in early to cover Train Wreck's?
Load More Replies...I was supervisor over a production line. We had a lot of orders starting to back up and owner asked me to come up with a schedule to get 50 hours of production a week. I made it work out to where my guys worked 4 10s and rotated days off. He wanted a manager there when production was happening so my direct supervisor and I came up with a schedule to cover it without OT working 10s as well. That wasn't good enough because owner didn't like us working 4 day weeks. I started putting in 50 and 60 hour weeks to cover and after paying me butt loads of overtime he told me to go back to 5 8s, that the line would be okay without me 2 hours a day.
Remember boys and girls, there are unions in America 🇺🇸 for a reason. To protect the rights of the worker. Vote Union for everyone, especially mining, IT, and any other employment. No forced OT, paid vacations, good medical insurance, job security !!!
I had a job where I was hourly and because of extra paperwork involved I often worked late to do it. Then in order to save money they decided to make me salaried even though technically because of what my job entailed this was not legal. Salaried gave me a 16k a year pay cut. Guess what they didn't get? 4 hours of unpaid work. Needed paperwork was not getting done, at least not by me. They asked me why I wasn't doing the extra work anymore, told them I was not working for free. Also did not pick up extra holidays or shifts, again not working for free.
Check with your local Labour Board. In some jurisdictions, Salaried personnel can receive O/T payments on excessive hours. (One of the only good things to come out of Peter Nygard's life to date, where I live.)
F**k that. If I'm working.... I'm getting paid. My time is not only valuable it's MY TIME. Nobody cuts into my personal time. NOBODY.
the trainwreck probably has serious dirt on them or theyd never let him get away with all tht! The logical thing would of been to fire trainwreck in the beginning but then again these people dont seem to be logical so..
As usual, we don't have all the facts because it doesn't add up. Why would the writer choose to go in early to help other guy's shift, only to leave his early as well? Work your own shift. We have a guy do that, no matter which shift we are on. He comes in hour early, without permission, then leaves hour early cuz he came in early.
If I was the head of that company I'd pull this guy aside and tell him what a good job he's doing. As well as the fact that I can see he cares about the company. I'd tell him I'm going to have a talk with the other guy. Then I'd ask if he can keep doing it for now. I'd give him a little bonus to ensure he's happy. Here's the thing, as the president of two corporations. I know how to recognize and keep my personnel happy. His supervisor being demoted would be the minimum I'd do...
"They had to hire a contractor at $125 an hour to cover all of his missed time, which amounted to 19 weeks this past year........" weren't trainwreck's absences random? you hire a contractor to cover those random hours?
You know, why on earth do corporations end up hiring so many supervisors that they need to hire even more to supervise them? This is the computer age! All you need is a Team Leader who is paid hourly, same as the people they supervise. Train them to use the computer and Wingo! No need for a unit manager. You could actually "float" a manager between units just by using the right software on Android or IPhone. Companies could save quite a bit of money (like millions) by doing this.
I'm confused as why the 2nd shift supervisor hasn't been fired? You were out a total of 19 weeks when all your missed days are calculated and you still got to keep your job? Is it unionize? Who the hell are you blowing that you're able to miss this much work?!
Why would the company do anything about it if you were stupid enough to work part of someone else's shift for free? So instead of communicating with the boss, you just assumed, then when sh1t didn't go as you think it should have, you get upset. Typical.
I've worked as an HR Manager for 17 yrs. I'm typically a PITA because I'm quick to point out the actual root cause of problems (which is often inept managers poorly supervising and training their teams). Second shift manager would've been performance managed out, Sarah would've received coaching on how to properly manage her employees and I'd have made you whole for the additional hours you put in, salaried or not.
Worked for a company where they figured I owed them our lives for hiring us. Was written up for" not following lock out rules" What I did was lock out the main panel instead of of the sub panel. They couldn't run with the main off. I was told the sub was good enough. I told them "when my life is on the line ,I will decide where to lock out" I was given a 3 day suspension. In those 3 days I found A better job,less hrs, double pay!. When I came back, I handed in my resignation letter. They asked me where my 2 weeks requirement was . I'm giving you what you gave me. Enjoy your company getting shut down. Found out the electrician who wired up the sub panel wired it wrong & OH&S shut them down for 30 days requiring them to bring everything up to code. Supervisor who wrote me up was fired. I sued for wrongful dismissal & was paid a handsome severance. Thank God I enjoy my new job. Less stress.
How did you sue for wrongful dismissal and receive a handsome severance when you handed in your RESIGNATION LETTER???!!! You weren't fired -- you RESIGNED!!!! You *completely* contradicted yourself!!! Therefore you're absolutely full of it and your whole story is ridiculous BS!!!!!!

And this is why you get the full story before throwing your weight around. The man had actually worked more than 8 and a half hours. Shakes my head.
Twitter stuff this is a FAKE NEWS story made up by someone. When you're on salary it has nothing to do with eight and a half hours and a half hour for lunch. There are certain stipulations to it most of them being you work extra hours. Second reason for this being a FAKE STORY is when someone says they work for a"MANUFACTURING COMPANY" without saying I work at a warehouse...I call bs.. And the last reason that this is a b******* fake ass story just for people to read is that any manufacturing company has enough money to put up time cards. This whole article and story has fake written all over it. For you to post this it would make you an asset for CNN. or MSNBC.... Also if you're on salary and you have to come in 3 hours early and stay 3 hours late that's what happens that's what salary means. It doesn't have eight and a half hour days salary means we pretty much own your life 5 days a week or 6 days a week.. BOARD PANDA YOU MUST BE BORED BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH BS AND FAKE CONTENT.
My God, you’re incredibly stupid. Must be a Trumper
Load More Replies...I don't know the 'trainwrecks' situation though. Maybe he's going through some hard stuff. No way your responsibility. I think it's better for the company and for you to stick to your hours. The way how is just plain stupid.
Sometimes it makes more sense to be paid "by workload" or "by piece" than by the hour. When I worked at a lumberyard years ago, it was hourly but most of the work was clearly "piece work" it would have made more sense for that company to pay it's staff "by piece" than "by the hour" it would greatly reduce "ass on bench" time and increase productivity greatly!
Good luck getting unions to sign off on that, heh

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Companies work their employees to the bone all the time, age doesn't matter. Why do you think so many companies are having a hard time getting employees now after the brunt of the pandemic? Or why companies are paying more than they used to? People are tired of spending their lives getting worked like dogs for paychecks that barely get them by.

Judging by the fact that she got demoted, it seems others higher up realized she wasn't competent as well.
