'Being 1 minute late= being out for the day, so I’ll take the day off': Toxic boss tries to revoke employee's pay increase for being 1 minute late, Employee maliciously complies then epically quits

Sometimes the way workers are treated is so mind-blowingly poor it's unbelievable. Yet here we are with a new insane story of a worker having to maliciously comply or epically quit. 

Recently, an annoyed ex-employee took to Reddit to share their story of their epic last days at work at an old job of their's. They had been working at the company for a couple of years already and was offered a third promotion. They wanted to accept, but the manager looked at their time card and saw they were exactly ONE minute late coming back from break several times. These one minute increments only added up to around 5-10 minutes, but it was enough for the manager to revoke the offer. In fact, he offered the employee to "train" for the job first, which meant that the employee would be doing the work for an entire year for no pay increase. They would've essentially be working for free. The person obviously declined, and went even further to maliciously comply by simply calling out sick even if they were only running a minute or two late. 

By the end of that debacle, the company actually ended up still offering the employee the promotion with the pay raise. But they had had it, and had already found a new job with a high pay. So instead of doing what the toxic boss wanted, they were able to use all their sick days then epically quit. Read the entire story below!
