This is what happens when teachers are not paid fairly. It's no secret that your average teacher is forced to take on a number of tasks and responsibilities that go well beyond their job description and salary. The reality of the matter is that without their extra free labor, students and teachers alike will not have the proper materials for class to run smoothly.

Naturally, this lack of fairness can lead to a whole lot of resentment from teachers who are taking way too much time out of their already busy schedules to do even more work and, in many cases, spend their own money to get it all done. Here, we have a teacher who was expected to install software on each of his students' computers so that lab could run smoothly. This meant three extra days of unpaid work each time the software needed to be installed. IT refused to pitch in, and the administration was, of course, no help at all.

Eventually, this professor had enough after 17 years of this madness and decided to enact some well-deserved malicious compliance before leaving this institution forever.
