r/MaliciousCompliance - You Deny My Expenses, I'll TRIPLE My Costs!

Rob shares malicious compliance stories: an overworked employee is pushed into an impossible deadline, stays late to deliver, then uses coaching and boundary setting to force realistic timelines in front of the team and regain control of workload. A UK worker has a small parking expense denied, so they follow travel policy to claim first class, hotel stays, meals, and taxis that cost far more. In a busy deli, an employee is yelled at for looking at a phone, so they take the full uninterrupted break they are owed during the rush. Finally, an IT developer forced to wear a tie complies with a ridiculous one, then takes a confidential side task that is far easier than managers expect.
