It turns out that if you tell a contract worker to work fewer hours, they'll… do exactly that. So it's surprising that this client was under the impression that she was getting more for her money after trying to bully this worker.
U/rentacle couldn't wait to share her malicious compliance story of "corporate stupidity" with the world. This client was uncertain about the project, but she also insisted that she wanted a good product no matter how much time and effort that would entail. Oh, and it needed to be done by the end of the year, no matter what. Well in most projects, you can have a high-quality product, low cost, or quick results: pick two. If you want fast results and a really great project, you can expect to shell out some big bucks for that. Or if you need something fast and cheap, it's not going to look very good, but it'll be done on time at least.
This woman just didn't want to listen to what her contractor was telling her. Instead, it seems like this client thought she'd found a brilliant way to cut costs: insisting that her contractor cut down on her hours, while still working really hard on the project. Unfortunately, that's just not how it works in the business world, as you can read about in the story below.
Next, these people shared the worst travel experiences they've ever had, like one person who "was locked out of my hotel in 110°+ Florence heat."
