'I'll make sure it's $30 Every. Single. Time': Employee gets in trouble for expensing $1.02 above the limit, maliciously complies and costs the company 3x her normal spending

Sometimes, being a stickler can backfire majorly. This manager learned that the hard way after calling out an employee for expensing a mere $1.02 more than the usual limit. She was given a stern "talking to" despite the fact that she rarely spends anywhere close to the $30/day amount when she travels for work. 

Well, that all changed quickly when the Redditor decided to maliciously comply following her manager's unnecessary tirade. She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit and documented how in the subsequent she would spend as close to that $30/day limit as possible… so much so that if you were to calculate her expenses now, it would be close to three times what she was spending prior to her manager's speech. Sometimes, giving your employee a hard time is not worth it and can only lead to far greater consequences.
