Shipwright Shares Two Stories of Nautical-Themed Shipyard Malicious Compliance, Earns $900/hr for 15 Years

This week a shipwright (what the poster describes as being a "Nautical Carpenter") took to the Malicious Compliance subreddit, not once but twice, to tell their nautical tales of malicious compliance, including how they managed to earn $900/hr for 15 years. 

The topics were posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit over the last few days by the user u/Anony19087, with the success of the initial post titled "$6 Per Week" prompting them to post the second topic titled "$15 per minute." We love the related titles and themes between the two stories, with the first telling how u/Anony19087 complied with the shipyard's demands when they were too cheap to pay the "Own Tool" fee and the second sharing how they landed themselves in a situation of long-term compliance that saw them earning up to $900/hr. 

Hey, what's the saying? Whatever floats your boat?
