What’s better than getting paid to sleep?
The answer is NOTHING.
And that’s why this story from Reddit is so darn satisfying!
Take a look at how this worker gamed the system and won!
My boss told me to wait longer for deliveries. I did and I got paid for $16.50/hr for sleeping.
“I do overnight deliveries for 5 locations of a chain store. I get paid per delivery, not by the hour.
My manager told me I can deliver the overnight deliveries anytime at night as long as the shipment reaches the stores before 7:30 am when the stores open.
I have keys to all except the last store on my delivery route.
Gimme that key!
I would try to finish my deliveries by 7 am but I have to wait half an hour for the last store to open.
I complained to my manager saying I need that key for the overnight deliveries. MY manager kept on ignoring my requests.
It went on for a month. I wasted half an hour every day because of him.
One day I just skipped the delivery for the last store because I couldn’t take the wait anymore. This made my manager furious.
He called me and ordered me to wait by the last store until it opens.
I told him I don’t want to wait. He said the company will pay me $16.50/hr for the wait.
Okay!
I happily said ok. The next night I started my deliver extra early and I reached the last store by 1 am.
I use an app to sign in whenever I reached a store then I sign out when I’m leaving the store.
So I signed in to the last store at 1 am and went to sleep until 7:30 am. then I delivered and signed out.
The company paid me $16.50 per hour just to sleep.
This carried on for 2 weeks until the manager got scolded by the higher ups and I got my key.”
