    The original story, as shared by the delivery driver

    Posted by u/A-Truckers-Thoughts Wanna discipline me for being right? I got you. M OC I work for a freight delivery company, drive a semi truck, and usually go out with 10-15 deliveries a day. Our policy is that when you deliver to a residence you have to take a picture with the work phone as an additional proof of delivery. That has morphed into now if the delivery receipt (dr) says "residential" you have to take a picture of it, regardless if it's going to a business or a house. There are so ma

    One day last week I have a delivery for "Laura Lopez" (Name changed). It was being delivered to a construction company that Laura is an employee of, the Dr does not say it's residential. I make the delivery and leave, no picture. Next morning my of a supervisor says, "I have a write up for you." Puzzled, I ask her for what.

    I told her that we need to go talk to my manager about it, so we do, and he sides with me because she has no ground to stand on. This infuriates her. I tell her that under no circumstances will this be an issue again. That day is when I start my mc. I take pictures with the work phone at EVERY STOP.

Sure as she wrote me up for it. I don't even argue, I say we need to take it to my manager. I walk in and he says, "what now?" I tell him the story, he looks at her, takes the write up and rips it up. "Are you seriously writing him up for over performing?" She had no words, and I still take a picture at every st

    DragonFireKitten · 6 days ago Does everyone's work phones send the photos to her station? Can you get others to follow in your example and have it be like "oh I heard OP got written up over not taking photos, so I'm also no taking photos at every stop" 86 Reply Share A-Truckers-Thoughts OP 6 days ago .

    Curraghboy16 days ago There are about 25 truck drivers in the world right now and about 10 million jobs. I'd be out the door before that had finished filling out my name on the write up.

    They then came back to share this update

    *UPDATE* S OC https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/s/gUIN 3zRz4y. ^ Link to original post ^ So after my original post many things have transpired. My terminal is getting a new classification, which means more freight, more jobs, positions switching around, etc. The of a supervisor is transitioning to a night position because, "No one respects me." Well, if you weren't such a pain in the ass maybe someone would.

    When she announced this today she looked at me and flat out asked me, "Are you gonna miss me?" My answer was short, simple, to the point, and in front of about 60 other employees, including my bosses boss: "Nope." She looked aghast. She looked surprised. When everyone burst out with laughter, she looked defeated. ....and you lose. I win
