Company Refuses to Give Employee New Contract, So They Abide the Terms of Their Old One
This retail worker was finally promoted to a management position after jumping through "1000 hoops" to get there. When they were finally promoted, they were given their raise but were not given a new contract, despite repeatedly asking. When they got an offer from another company offering a serious pay bump, they realized that since they were still on their old contract… They were still on their old notice period.
This story was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the employee, Redditor u/Garfish-woosh, who shared the story of their compliance with the terms of their old contract.
Commenters applauded the poster's actions and noted that the employer had reaped what they had sowed by refusing to give them a new contract.
Others shared their own stories and similar experiences.
"Haha, my brother did this exact thing." commented Hattix, "They trained him up, gave him the extra £, but never re-did his contract, so he never got the other benefits (mostly mileage and medical). His notice period didn't change from 2 weeks to 8 weeks."
"So when he handed in his notice a year and half later (unrelated reasons), they said it was 8 weeks. He asked them to show him that in his contract, and they went all quiet."
