Reddit user, u/letowyn, who worked as an IT technician, recently submitted a story to the platform’s ‘Malicious Compliance’ community, recalling how their boss, rather than offering a raise, implemented a bonus system based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Masquerading as a great opportunity, the change was actually designed to cheat u/letowyn and their colleagues out of a bigger salary. But the employees found a way around it and started organizing their day around a single goal — hitting their benchmarks.
