'The total is now $42,000': Funding department demands employees share hotel rooms and cars to save money, instead costs the company thousands of dollars

This employee was trying to arrange a trip as quickly as possible, only to be slowed down by another department. As if travel planning wasn't difficult enough, this person had to deal with their funding department trying to make everything cheaper.

Some coworkers think they know better than everyone — to the point that they think they can do your job better than you. It's especially infuriating when the coworker has a different job than yours, but still thinks they know your specialty better than you.

This OP, u/ayako-chan, had an entire department in their company who acted like they always knew best. In a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, the OP writes that they organized a group of technicians who moved around the US as needed. Their job was to keep track of per diems and other travel requests, making sure that no one is exceeding the amount of money the company wants to put out on superfluous expenses. If that's their job, why is another department so insistent that they need to be saving more money on the trip? Well, the OP saw their request to do things differently…and they cued up their finest malicious compliance.

Next up, this boss told their employee to not worry about little things around the office, and just do their job…so they did, leaving their boss wondering why the office wasn't the same afterwards.
