This person had the best summer job ever, all thanks to their boss who went above and beyond his job duties. We could all use a boss like John, as their former employee, u/timothy53, told in a tale of incredible malicious compliance.
Summer jobs give teens a taste of independence. At your first job, you have the freedom to drive to work, earn some cash, and then catch up with your friends to enjoy some summer fun. A really great job for teens is lifeguarding. You have to be certified, and it's a serious role — you're protecting the lives of the swimmers around you, especially children. Some people think lifeguarding can be dull and slow, but the pay is excellent compared to many other entry-level positions that pay minimum wage. The more certified you are, the higher your pay rate can go.
This person's boss took advantage of that exact logic. The OP shared their story to the malicious compliance subreddit, and even dropped an additional story about John in the comments. Their boss sounds like a really good human being, and it seems like he changed the lives of his employees for the better.
