'Never mess with my money': Technicians band together against corporate for 'glorious malicious compliance'

In this story, there's a happy ending for those who deserve one! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/SirMizzuh, who proves to be a true man of the people, as they say. 

 

He worked as a technician for a small telecom company in a full-time capacity, but eventually they started to institute shady policies (i.e. enforcing double trips for every ticket, cutting employee hours, tracking their every move, etc.). They even held required meetings (and tried not to pay employees for those meetings), where they would go through every detail on their timesheets. If this isn't a setup for some Machiavellian malicious compliance, I don't know what is. Keep scrolling below to see how the Redditor and his coworkers banded together to get back at corporate. It's even more glorious when you learn what happened to the company at the end of the day. For more, take a look at this post about an employee who was CC'd about her own upcoming termination.
