Stingy mom tries to shortchange nanny for $12.50, gets charged with malicious compliance: 'The total amount they owed was almost $2000'

It's a badly kept secret that a big part of the reason that rich people stay rich is that they often don't like to spend money. This is especially true when it comes to all the services they pay for. Why give the help a living wage if you can get them to work for the bare minimum?

You might think that monied parents would make an exception for those who take care of their kids, but according to one nanny on Reddit that could not be further from the truth. Explaining how a mom whose son she cared for tried to dispute paying her an extra $12.50 for overtime, she revealed how she swiftly got her own back in a way that was far more costly to the stingy parents she worked for. It's no surprise that all of Reddit applauded her canny efforts to receive a fair paycheck.
