‘Management finally caved in’: Management refuses to pay for loyal employee's car repairs until company goes down in flames, then employee quits

Why be loyal when you can just quit? One employee gave their all to a company that had no intention of completing the yin with yang, and that lack of intention showed up in their refusal to pay for the employee's car repairs. Why would a company pay for their employee's car repairs, you ask? It's a fair question. Let's start at the beginning.

OP was working as an IT project manager in Korea for an SMB. As the point of contact for the majority of the division's clients, OP had to travel a lot by car. The company refused to give OP a company car for said travels, so after 10 years, the miles were racking up, and OP's car was in terrible shape, needing a lot of repairs. The company took zero responsibility for OP's car, which led to sweet, malicious compliance on OP's end. What is an employee to do when their boss doesn't lend them a helping hand?
