Employee Discovers Loophole in Company Sick Day Policy and Enrages Horrible Boss

There's nothing like finding a loophole that your boss can't do anything about! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, and we have to give a shoutout to the original poster for not only discovering this loophole and using it to their advantage, but also for standing their ground when confronted by their vile boss.

 

Essentially, the Redditor first learned the hard way that employees at this company receive one of a maximum of five occurrences (or punishments) for an uninterrupted sick period. However, taking one sick day, coming back into the office, and then taking another sick day if the illness resumes resulted in two separate occurrences. This policy is particularly ridiculous considering three sick days in a row still only translate to one occurrence. So naturally, the next time the original poster got sick, they took the full three days in a row.

 

What kind of horrible office calls itself a family while instituting punitive treatment for unplanned health issues? That's some corporate America nonsense. For more ridiculous stories like this, take a look at this post about yet another untrustworthy HR employee.
