Story 6: OP should have taken a trip down to HR to ask them how OP was being ordered to complete a task that OP was physically unable to do?
It would be the same as the boss demanding a paralyzed person to get up from their wheelchair and walk upstairs...it can't be done.

[computernerd]

Story 3: OP even gave the manager an out by asking "do you want me to stop?" The manager ignored the opportunity to get out of the malicious compliance, but instead doubled down, and in the end, tried to blame OP anyway. That manager deserved everything that happened to her that day.

Story 6 - Time for a visit to the HR office to ask them and the company lawyer about discrimination against the disabled.

[LotsofWhatever]

Story 3: they do recognize the good employees, but just won't acknowledge it out loud because that means they would have pay accordingly and they would much rather take advantage of them cheaply.

Malicious Compliance, where people get what they ask for, not what they want, is one of my favorite subreddits, if not my absolute favorite

[tmntfangirl]

Story 1 - LOL, I love OP’s using the boss’s words against him by wearing a kilt to work because it wasn’t a dress code violation. That was perfect.

[kuriakosekjoseph]

Story 6: OP did actually better. My initial thought was he was going to hand in a blank paper and say "Sir I typed out whatever I could after listening to the audiotape at the highest volume"

[paulaanderson]

These are some of the best malicious compliance stories I've heard. Especially the burger joint and the deaf person.

[WlmaAlexender-zlnx]

As someone who worked years for a toxic Karen of a boss, who sadly is still getting away with it even after laying me off, I live for these.

Story #5 - That's not how vacations work, pretty much anywhere, so FOD is looking for a breach of employment law suit.

[silverflight]

Story 3: Sounds like NPM was just guessing on what the group was going to order. Never do that, you'll rarely get it right, if at all, and it'll be an embarrassing waste in the end

[merlinathrawes]

Raise story: Hey Boss, don't give out advice that you don't actually want your employees to take.

6 turn 6 story: Fast food places live or die by their wastage. OP saw what was coming and made a very good estimate at what this group of people would order. NPM was only thinking about the special, not what people would actually want. At least the store corrected it's bad decision in passing over OP for promotion.

Do my work story: Yep, not a very smart boss. Give him instructions to do your work, then give him other instructions that essentially prohibit him from doing your work. And when YOU get investigated for failing to meet your goals they find out you've been embezzling as well. Would have like to hear more about the fall out from a legal perspective.

FOD story: Never screw with the IT guy. You'll only regret it.

Audio file story: Welp, I think that boss was only a boss due to the Peter Principal as well. Asking a DEAF person to transcribe an audio file. Good grief!

Story 2: One is well rewarded for recognizing good employees for credit where credit is due. I got a supervisor position similarly when I started taking on tasks nobody else wanted to do, such as leading and scribing for meetings, developing a "planned PTO checklist" to help anyone minimize the impact of their absence, and revamping our badly organized training program. Thankfully my contributions were recognized and my manager actually got a new position created specifically for me so I was paid fair market rate for the job I did. I did have to learn a lot of new software for both hiring and timecards, but was essentially otherwise doing the same job. It was a large company and once my new role was announced, I received hundreds of "well deserved" messages from the employees who had previously worked with me.

[suzyboyleanderson]

Using company money to take your dates out to expensive fancy restaurants and building yourself a deck at home not only gets you fired it gives you a one way ticket to prison too. I know from experience from knowing idiots who embezzled money from where they worked at

[silverflight]

Story 5: What an egomaniac, and he doesn't like being seen as "weak." Well, usually those who boast and s**t like that are fools (and sometimes cowards as well) and he basically made a fool of himself

[jackiewepps]

Story 6: I hope the boss got a talking-to by someone and actually learned to understand what a moron he was. Saying "I don't care if you're deaf, transscribe it anyway" is like saying "I don't care if you're blind, paint a portrait anyway". Rediculous. You may get a painting out of it, but it definitely won't be a portrait.

[DrValerie]

True about bosses not recognizing the good employees until it's too late. Can't tell you how many times I've told management that they needed to hire more people, when they kept piling more and more on me, to the point I was doing the work of 5 very diligent people. Every time I left, they had to hire 5 people to cover what I did alone. I shouldn't have suffered their idiocy as long as I did (thereby making myself one diligent idiot). Oh well, live and learn.

[ingelapalsson]

The first story really cracked me up. Way to go! 😂

[wolphin]

The last story... if there was any sort of fallout, I would be getting a lawyer involved for discrimination.

[Aria_Kitsuragi]

Story 3: petty revenge-ish too cuz that manager deserved that firing
