'That was basically the "last straw"': Overwhelmed employee gets scolded for working overtime, starts working only 5 hours per day

If you could work just five hours per day, would you? Most of us would thrive with that lifestyle and would take that offer instantly. 

For many or most adults, working full time is a norm we get used to. In other parts of the world, people take three month vacations or work just a few hours every day. Meanwhile, America is a bit more focused on hustle culture. People love to talk about how they're always grinding away to make money and advance their careers. Have you ever been to a party and started talking to someone who brags about their long hours in the office? They'll start telling you about how they wake up at 4 AM to exercise, then head to work and sometimes stay until the late hours of the night. That sounds like a waking nightmare to me, buddy, but I'm happy that you're happy. 

The person who shared their story to malicious compliance seems like they had a completely terrible working situation. They were doing the work of multiple people. Other coworkers kept leaving the job. And all the while, u/Anonynominous' bosses were still unhappy with their work. 

Read the whole story below, and then read another encouraging work story about this coffee shop manager who decided to quit and then immediately block their bosses' numbers.
