Update: 'So you lied to me:' HR denies raise promised to employee, employee gets back at HR by canceling furniture order for her office

This HR lady's blatant lie says just about everything one could say regarding the health of this work environment. Here, we have a two-part story for you about an employee who learned that the raise he and his coworkers were promised was never going to happen in the first place. On top of that, the woman from HR seemed completely unapologetic about the lie as well.

 

The update to this thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/ImThe1Wh0, who clearly was having trouble stomaching this news. After some time thinking things over, the Redditor figured out the perfect plan to get a little petty revenge and malicious compliance at the same time. Since he was told that the company was trying to cut costs in any way possible (this was perhaps the main reason why his promised raise was outright denied to him), he reconsidered an upcoming purchase for the office that had yet to be fully processed.

 

That purchase was a request by the very same HR lady to refurnish her office. Now, it was in fact within the employee's jurisdiction to make judgment calls on purchases, so he decided to reject the request and deem it an unnecessary purchase. The reality is he's completely in the right here. It's not like HR was incapable of doing her job without this order. Perhaps these kinds of requests should be prioritized over, say, raises that were previously promised to certain employees.
