‘Well, That’s 20 Years Down the Drain’ : Team of Employees Responsible for Company’s $480 Million Annual Profit Get Denied a $10 Raise, Leading to Expensive Malicious Compliance
There is a reason people say that the richest are the stingiest — it happens to be true, a lot of the time. The type of people who pay with an Amex Black Card, yet ironically are the ones who don't leave their server a tip. A great example of such a person would be Hetty Green, nicknamed 'The Witch of Wall Street'. Today there are plenty of examples as well, although, unlike Hetty, they do turn on the heat and use hot water (Yeah, that gal was a cheap legend). u/CatFish21sm took to r/malicious compliance, sharing one company's stubbornness in giving their hard-working employees a raise.
These employees learned that they were responsible for over a third of the company's annual profit — yet were severely underpaid. They demanded a raise — all they wanted was $20 (they were a team of 12 people), which in comparison to $480 million seems laughable. But they did not receive it, so they vowed to maliciously comply to a point where the company would lose hundreds of millions.
