‘You get what you asked for’: Doctor gives employee 5 days off every month for 1 year after company changes attendance policy

Attendance policy changes on the whim of every company once in a while, and HR may or may not fail to inform team leads of the modifications… The problem with that is when attendance policy changes and employees are unaware, they could get written up for not adhering to it, which in my book, is totally unfair.

In this case, a worker who was employed at a Pharmaceutical manufacturing company for over 5 years had no idea that the company's attendance policy changed. During the 5 years, the worker, OP, never got a write-up, not even once… which is pretty impressive. Thanks to the new policy, that changed, and OP finally got written up. The huge issue with the write-up was the fact that OP had been absent from work for completely legitimate reasons, such as the fact their car went kaput for a week, the pipes in their house broke, and finally, because they got really sick.

But HR did not care if OP's absence was valid or not, they decided to write them up anyway, regardless of whether it was fair or not. After all, life isn't fair, right? But OP was not satisfied and decided to unleash their anger through some malicious compliance. When you come at a senior employee, this is what you get.
