Not honoring an employee's schedule when they have been following all the rules and going through the proper channels is about as disrespectful as it gets. When a manager rejects your request to not work a certain shift, the message is clear: your life and commitments do not matter. What matters is this silly arbitrary work schedule that is 100% malleable but apparently, that would require too much critical thinking on the manager's part.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/MochiCoran, who explained how their manager disregarded their request to not work one Sunday because of a serious personal conflict. Not only did their manager choose not to honor that request, but he also gave himself the day off that Sunday. Clearly, there was a workaround here and he thought he could get away with it. Well, that was the last straw for the employee, so he maliciously complied and managed to not show up that day with zero consequences. Thankfully, the manager's boss sided with the Redditor, which is a rare occurrence that brings those of us here at FAIL Blog a ton of satisfaction.
