'Dissolve my department... and expect the same output?': Department head costs employer $30k, discovers their boss's "illegal move"

Loopholes can be so sweet. This former department head now knows this all too well after they gained more than two weeks PTO!

Reorganizations aren't usually a positive sign. No matter how much the company insists that workers won't be impacted, they'll all feel the differences in some way. At this university, a reorganization caused the loss of several highly-trained personnel. That's an issue in a specific field, and a major loss for a university. But when the only thing that matters is "pinching pennies," employees are going to be subjected to changes that management thinks are best.

Pinching pennies is one thing, but the head boss at this job isn't even doing things legally. He probably thought he wouldn't get caught. U/Maheu wasn't about to let this dude win, though. They shared the whole story of what went down to the malicious compliance subreddit. The worker also left an additional note in the comments section to add more information to their story.

After you read about this reorg gone totally wrong, regale in the story of the overworked coffee shop manager who took two weeks off, quit, and then blocked their boss's phone number as things immediately started going wrong at the coffee shop.
