'I don't know how that makes sense from a business perspective': Employee discovers loophole in company's time-tracking policy, extending sick leave

Occasionally, employees discover a loophole within their company's various policies that will make the experience of working at said company all the more palatable. When one discovers a loophole like this, it's important to tell no one. You don't want people catching on, not even your work husband/wife. You just keep doing you, until your scheming comes to light. Most of the time, management is so clumsy and disorganized that nothing ever really does come to light.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by an employee who had to call in sick for several days.

That's when OP realized that this business just so happened to prioritize sick days over working half days because of the messiness of the time-tracking policy. Cue malicious compliance!
