'Don’t cheap out on your invaluable employees': Employee expected to work late, wake up at 3 AM, and drive 2 hours for a meeting? Cue Malicious Compliance!

Never mess with someone's sleep schedule! That's what this woman's horrible bosses learned the hard way when she refused to work late, and then wake up in the middle of the night and drive for 2 hours in the dead of winter in order to make an early morning meeting. Has anyone ever heard of Zoom? 

u/Sorrymomlol12 shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, and after learning that her boss wouldn't let her book a hotel for the night, she decided to book one out of pocket. However, she ensured that everyone would know about it because it would reflect poorly on the company. At a certain point, her bosses had to step in and pay for the hotels. The best part of the story? She didn't book cheap ones, but now that the company was paying her back after the fact, they had no choice in the matter.
