Company won't compensate employee for missed $1000 event, pays $5000 for round trip international flight instead

Sometimes you can't help but wonder if corporate executives have ever looked past their most recent board room meeting; they seem to repeatedly make illogical decisions based on new half-baked policies that really only hurt the business in the long run. Usually, it's as simple as the fact that someone decided something once, and that's just the way it's going to be forever. It can also be because something is easier on the books, and therefore that's the way it's going to be even if it actually costs more. 

Stories like this pop up in Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit every week, and we're not close to growing tired of them. This particular thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by Reddit user u/Modokon, who shared the bewildering situation they faced when they asked their employer to compensate them for an event they couldn't reschedule.
