“Won’t Pay Me For My Cancelled Event? Pay Me To Go Instead”: Employee Makes Boss Cover £4,000 In Expenses After Refusal To Refund Canceled Trip

Recently, Redditor Modokon turned to the Malicious Compliance subreddit to share a story from a few years ago when he worked for a company on an unnamed project and was away in California for five weeks instead of the planned two.

“I had a milestone birthday present which was driving a supercar around a circuit for a day,” Modokon wrote. He explained that this was a big birthday present from his wife and worth around £800 at the time.

The problem arose when the unplanned extra 3 weeks overlapped the long-awaited Driving Event day. “If my company wanted me to stay that weekend, they would need to compensate me for the lost event money,” Modokon wrote.

However, the management had their own solution which ended up costing them way more than necessary.

The company refused to refund their employee’s long-awaited and non-cancellable event which was a present from his wife, so he maliciously complied

Stupid decisions will never stop amazing me. I'll never forget when I joined the military, they wanted me to fly to my training base, which was a 2 hour drive away. Instead I had to take a shuttle an hour away (the opposite direction), fly from Atlanta to Knoxville to Charlotte to Savannah over the course of 20 hours and 3 layovers, and wait another 4 hours for the staff duty vehicle to come pick me up.

I find it hilariously ironic that the IT VP was such a brat about it when it was his department causing the delay in the first place. Maybe the cost should come directly out of the VP's pocket.
