‘You need to pay me now’: Contractor gets paid for 600 days of work in advance after writing a script to auto-complete 6000 reports in one day following boss's demands

One contractor read the terms and conditions of his contract so well that he got paid 600 days in advance for completed work.

I want this dude as a mentor, where do I sign up? Let's start at the beginning… OP was contracting for a large financial services provider, where his team manager was promoted to a new division, leaving him and the rest of the team with bosses who did not know how to 'boss'. OP's job was to onboard new hires into all kinds of required systems for their daily functions. One day, OP's bosses sat him down in a meeting and made him sign a contract. They said 'Sign it, or walk'. OP did not want to be fired, but he was also really annoyed at the amendments he read on the contract…

They wanted him to guarantee so many requests a day for every team member that it seemed impossible. He offered, 'Why not scalar the ticket count and see who did what?' but he was met with red faces and a heated argument. So OP kept it simple, and he did what he does best…

Next, here is a story about an HOA who fought a losing battle with one of the neighborhood residents. It cost them money, their positions, and then even more money.
