In a recent post on the Malicious Compliance subreddit, Redditor u/ChiefSteward shared how he came up with a plan to outsmart this controlling company policy he was working in. He explained that his former employer used a points-based system to track attendance, meaning that you accumulate enough points and you’re fired.
The fact that there was a train crossing leading to the facility, where occasionally, trains would pass, blocking this crossing, didn’t make any difference. “One night, during my years on third shift, I was stopped at these tracks and decided to wait. Eventually the train moved on. I raced into the parking lot, used my key card to zip through the turnstiles, and ran to the punch clock. My clock in time was 10:30PM,” the Redditor recounted.

But since the biometric punch clock didn’t want to scan his fingerprint, as it sometimes did, the author had no choice but to get to his assigned work area. “I told my team manager what happened. He said don’t worry about it, he’d manually punch me in.”
Only after confirming the malfunction with front desk, the author found out that he scanned his key card at 10:30:22 PM. These 22 seconds of “tardy” not only got u/ChiefSteward disciplined by the management, but also inspired him to come up with malicious compliance that lasted way longer than he was late. 11 years, to be precise.
After getting disciplined for clocking in 22 seconds late for reasons beyond his control, this employee came up with a malicious compliance plan that he did every day for 11 years
