'The store is in violation': Store employee protects themself from new bosses who tried to make them quit

This person realized their job wanted them gone, and they decided not to go out without a fight. That's partially thanks to their union, which had their back through the entire debacle. 

One worker found themselves at an uncomfortable crossroads. They really enjoyed the work they did, and found that they were learning so much from the varied types of work. But then a new company bought them out, and the OP realized, "They didn't have a ready-made place for me to fit into." 

The company tried to belittle them into quitting. In order to avoid the hassle of firing someone, some businesses decide to try and make that employee as miserable as possible in the hopes that they quit. They did some openly hostile things toward this dude, such as writing them up for spending about 20 minutes of their shift assisting police officers. At least the OP, u/PunkThug, didn't bow to the pressure to quit. Instead, they figured out exactly how to get even. 

Check out the entire story below, plus comments from people who loved the tale. Next up, this father was always pushing the speed limit and getting tickets, so he came up with an incredible loophole.
