'You sound like someone who loves a job that will never love you back': Employee screws herself over by working unpaid hours

This employee thought she was pulling off some malicious compliance, but in the end, she just made things worse for herself. The problem is, she shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit fully convinced that she had pulled a fast one on her employer. Yikes!

 

She was quickly given a firm dose of reality by some ruthless people in the comments section. If we think about this more broadly, this is really just further evidence that we have been conditioned to do what's most efficient for our employers and companies rather than look out for ourselves and ensure that we are being treated fairly every step of the way. There are certainly more options u/reneemul could present to her boss so that the outcome is both realistic and equitable. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments.
