'I put in my formal notice and that’s when the fun started': Employee bests boss who made them drive 200 miles a day for work and refused to sign off important paperwork

The only thing worse than a long commute is a long commute to a job you really dislike. 

Even if you bring a book, music, or a movie, commuting is still annoying to do every day. I used to commute 90 minutes each way twice a day, and it was soul-deadening. Even with entertainment, it's hard to sacrifice so much of your day every day without being paid. If you made me president, I would make every single company reimburse its' workers for their commuting time. If you have to take time out of your own day just to get to the job, you're basically almost working anyway, so these companies better pay up!

This person worked at a pharmacy, and they really wanted to be in a floater position, meaning they could float between stores. Instead, their boss wanted them to stay at one location. This place was dangerous and far away from where u/ClubWag lived. They had to drive several hundred miles per day, only to get to a job they despised. If they couldn't be a floater, they asked their boss if they could at least be paid like a staffer, and this toxic boss still said no. At least the OP got their ultimate revenge through some excellent malicious compliance. In the comments, people loved the story, and some even shared their own malicious compliance tales.
