I've been struggling with my mental health for many years. Up till a few months ago, I was still able to keep up at work even through extreme client pressure. Then I started begging for help because I was struggling a lot. They promised to move me to a different team with less pressure, but kept moving the goal posts, telling me that they couldn't find a replacement due to client requirements.
Early this morning they ambushed me with a meeting with our HR director to give me 2 options. Either I get fired after a disciplinary hearing, or go on disability. I've been begging for disability for months, so naturally I was really happy to go with option 2 as I have good income insurance through the company. Then the HR head bitch demanded that I get the doctor's paperwork done today. I'd already been in contact with the doctor and she couldn't get it done because she'd just returned from leave and had a huge backlog. The HR bitch demanded that I go to the doctor's office to get it done today.
I was feeling utterly malicious when I complied. Even though it meant a 2 hour drive with the distance and traffic. I got there and managed to chat to my doctor for 2 minutes in-between appointments and she requested permission to be rude to the HR bitch and I told her to go for it. I don't know what she said in that email, but the HR bitch was suddenly VERY reasonable. Now I have a full week to get the paperwork done.
I'm happy. The HR bitch is the wife of the CEO and the company is about to take a huge hit because the client has found alternatives. So its going to hugely hit their bank accounts. It gives me a very happy, fuzzy feeling. I gave YEARS of loyal service and they're going to get their karma very soon even if my malicious compliance is a drop in the bucket.
