This is a story of how one man’s quest for justice turned into a long-term game of malicious compliance that drove his employer crazy. It started when the OP was disciplined for being just 22 seconds late to work due to a stopped train blocking access to the workplace. Although his team manager tried to help him, the attendance office administrator insisted on giving him a full attendance point for being tardy with no call. Feeling unfairly treated, the author decided to call in absent every day “just in case” something happened between leaving home and arriving at work. While this initially bemused the attendance office, it eventually annoyed them to the point of trying to write him up for insubordination. However, the labor union intervened, pointing out that the collective bargaining agreement did not specify a time before which call-ins could not be made. The author continued calling in absent for the next 11 years, driving upper management crazy with frustration and impotence. The story serves as a reminder that even small acts of defiance can have a lasting impact.
