Boss Cuts Email Access For All Employees So He Doesn’t Have To Pay Overtime, Regrets It When IT Worker Does Exactly That
Recently, a 30-year-old woman turned to the Malicious Compliance community on Reddit to share an incident she had at her job in an IT service in a bank.
“Even when I’m not head of my IT department, I’m basically head of all the responsibilities of them, but unfortunately my pay grade doesn’t reflect that at all,” the Redditor Lucyiha explained.
In addition to her 40-hour week, Lucyiha also has to work overtime on weekends to keep track of the servers and problems that can occur 24/7. But that was far from the only problem she faced at work.
So one day, the head of the company calls the author with an unusual request. Apparently, he wants her to cut off all access to emails and servers for everyone in the office, “no exceptions.” Thinking of all the nasty consequences that move will bring, Lucyiha makes a decision to proceed with the request, which is about to backfire big time.

Salary transparency laws sweeping the country have prompted many employees to talk about their salaries, CNBC reports. Now companies face an obvious cold truth –many workers are not just unhappy about what they’re paid, and those who are unhappy are paid much less than previously thought.
The new Gartner survey of roughly 3,500 workers showed that less than a third, or 32% of workers, feel like they’re paid fairly. The percentage of workers who believe they’re paid fairly “is much lower than we thought we’d find,” said Tony Guadagni, senior principal for research in the HR practice at Gartner.
Creighton, chief diversity officer at the Leadership Circle, argues that it’s quintessential for employers to constantly recalibrate and to “Understand that the skill set they’re hiring for and the skills that they have internally need to constantly be reviewed for what the market is bearing for those types of roles.”
Not only does that include fair pay but also working conditions, as well as opportunities to grow and making sure employees are kept motivated. A good communication policy for any company is also key as many employers still underestimate its power.
The author then shared more background information in response to these comments as many people expressed their support for her

Bankers... in my opinion they're the worst people to work for as a "support" person. I used to work in IT consultancy and for several months I worked at the national office of our country's biggest bank. They just wanted me to do the job without getting in the way and not talk to me at all if possible. As if I was furniture. Also got judged by my looks even though I had no public function. The people in the dealing room were the worst.

Exactly why I wanted everything, every plan, every instruction in writing. No confusion, no misunderstandings. Just thank goodness I was not in IT. I think it's the most intense job and they are always underpaid.

My rule is not to work for any type of Fintech, there are a lot more fun places. Especially my issue is with the "stuffed suit" culture, in dressing and also in behavior. Great story, congrats!
