Welcome to R-slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit.

Today's subreddit is R-slash malicious compliance, where OP turns a hell job into a dream job.

Our next Reddit post is from Jupa Cabro. I used to work in hotels in a ski town in Colorado.

It was very expensive. I had started working at a new hotel making 10 bucks an hour.

I was living with my brother in a two-bit room place that was 700 square feet.

Rand cost us half of our income. When the slow season approached,

I was told I would have to move to the night audit, 11pm to 7am or risk being let go.

The problem was that I lived three miles from the hotel and I took the bus to get there since I

couldn't afford a car. The bus didn't run at night or early morning, so I would have to walk

six miles a day in several inches of snow. So I asked for a raise. They said they would get back

to me, but they needed to get an answer and I needed the job. So okay, I'll work night audits.

I start the next week as an auditor and while I'm being trained, I learned that I'm also losing

a day of work. The other auditor works three days and I'll be working four days, not five.

That's a $320 a month hits my income before taxes. So I'll need to be making $12.50 an hour to

keep making the same thing with cut hours. I decide to ask for a raise to $14 an hour.

I complete training and meet with my general manager. He asks how I'm liking it and I start off

telling him my concerns. I tell him I wasn't told I was going to lose a day and having to walk six

miles a day in the snow, I was going to need a raise to $14 an hour. He lets out an audible sigh

and tells me he can easily hire someone for this position for 10 bucks an hour so I can take it or leave

it. I knew that it would be very hard to find a job in the winter when everything closes up, so I

stayed. As I walked out of his office, he said, I don't care how you do your job, just do it. Okay,

I will. You see, this job was incredibly easy. It was seven hours of me doing absolutely nothing
