‘He worked for one hour from home and that was it’: Undervalued employee finds loophole in company half-day policy, barely works until he quits

There is a special place in heaven for employees who discover loopholes and share about them with their fellow coworkers. It's perhaps the most rewarding phenomenon within the battlefield that is toxic workplace culture. The only thing better than discovering a loophole within company policy is, well, being treated well by your company. However, we're realists over here, and we understand that proper treatment of all employees is merely the stuff of dreams.

This story, however, surely provides some hope. The original poster shared his friend's tale of discovering a loophole within his company' half-day policy via the following thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. Essentially, this finance employee negotiated alternate hours where he would start work earlier and end earlier so he could have his late afternoons free. When he tried to take a half-day, his bosses enforced that he could only take off from 2pm onward despite his different hours, so his half-days weren't really half-days at all. Well, it turns out he found a way to maliciously comply that meant he only needed to work one hour every Friday.
