If you're three minutes late once, your manager can take a chill pill. This school support staff member refused to allow his manager to bully him after he showed up to work only slightly late for the first time. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by user u/ohmydayzz, who shared his story about how he learned the hard way to refuse to give up any more free time without pay.
Here are the details. This staff member typically shows up to work 15 minutes early and always gets started immediately, per his manager's orders. When he showed up three minutes late and continued with his morning routine of making a coffee in the staff room before beginning his work, his manager berated him. To make matters worse, the manager got upset after the staff member took his full unpaid 45-minute lunch break the next day. This was the breaking point for u/ohmydayzz, who stood his ground and from that point on, never allowed his manager to bully him into starting work early or working during his required unpaid breaks.
