Ask and you shall receive. When this company representative decided to make empty threats, I'm sure he thought it would make him look tough and professional. Instead, it backfired spectacularly on him.
This malicious compliance story takes place at a small family-run company that specialized in trucking. This person knew that relationships with their clients were important to the company's long term success. So when they encountered another business's representative who rubbed them the wrong way, they tried to get past the rep's brashness. After all, sometimes in business, you have to work with people you don't personally get along with.
At least the OP, u/Wildcatb, had the common sense to do things by the books. When they parted ways with this rep, they still gave him 60 days — two whole months! — to find another company to work with. But even with all that warning, the rep just wasn't cut out for that job, it seems. Additionally, in the comments, OP left six different updates about the ongoing work situation.
Next up, this person had a really simple solution to a work issue, but when their work rejected it, the employee let their boss get 20,000 help desk tickets.
