When a corporate mega-bank laid off a 20-year employee for accurately predicting their staffing disaster, his child launched a persistent, low-maintenance financial payback. By keeping an unused credit card open to protect their credit score and switching delivery preferences to physical paper mail, they force the bank to pay printing and postage fees for a zero-dollar balance every single month. In this episode of Get Even, we break down this ultimate act of corporate malicious compliance and examine real stories of bank greed getting served cold. Listen in to discover how tiny, legal acts of petty revenge can slowly bleed predatory institutions.

A real story, told first-person, judged out loud.
