Teacher Brilliantly Fought Back After His Employer Pressured Him To Sign A Document That Would Reduce His Pay
Some employers exploit their employees by failing to compensate them adequately for the work they do.
Employers have used various tactics and powers at their disposal on numerous occasions to force employees to accept less than what they deserve for no justifiable reason. This is exactly the same scenario a teacher found himself in at work.
Ancient_Educator_76, a teacher and Reddit user, recently had a difficult meeting. His boss attempted to coerce him into signing a document that would deduct $345 from his pay.
It was a typical case of a petty boss trying to save money by reducing their employee’s pay. However, his quick thinking turned the situation around, allowing the OP to walk away with a pay raise instead.
The teacher made a post on the subreddit ‘Malicious Compliance’ to explain what happened, and it appears that others appreciate it as well—as of this article, the account of what happened has been upvoted by over 20,000 people. The district representative had just summoned him to the office and asked him to sign a document stating that he would be paid twice.
He signed the papers incorrectly on purpose and then waited for the supervisor to call him, which happened shortly thereafter, and he was asked for reasons. He explained that he had not been addressed about it for the entire year until now.

He didn’t have to go see the federal action lady or his line manager because she said she’d pushed this through and sent him an email with a document to sign, but he had no idea what it meant other than that he would not be deducted.

Following the success of their article, the teacher responded in the comments section with additional information. “It all happened in the last two days of school,” he explained, “and it didn’t require me to sign anything else.”
Anyways, people had a lot to say about the whole thing and how it worked out in favor of the employee.
