What kind of person tattles on their colleague for being a tiny bit late due to traffic? What ever happened to worker camaraderie? What is there to gain by being a snitch? One redditor tells the story about how they maliciously complied after being written up for lateness due to a coworker's loud complaints. Let's just say the snitch got what they deserved.
“This. My coworker would work 7:30-4:30 instead of the 8-5 to slightly avoid traffic. It worked well for her. It shouldn’t be a big deal OP.” said u/millyp1791.
“I've never been this petty before, to be honest. I'd feel too guilty rubbing it in like that... plus, the coworker has given me a wide berth since i took ‘their’ spot. I think they were expecting me to confront them about their role in my being written up.” said OP.
“You clearly weren’t raised in my family, I would have gone into her office to sing the praises of my new parking space and thanked her for encouraging me to start showing up on time.” said u/gothiclg.
“Even worse… if OP is accurate then they either set off at their old time and arrive either on time or a mere 5 minutes late (not like 30 mins or 45 mins, just 5). Or they set off 90 minutes earlier and arrive 30 mins earlier give or take. So OP is just wasting an hour sat in rush hour traffic for no benefit. Malicious compliance by starting a longer commute.” said u/TheCockAndWomble.
