We adapt to changes at work all the time. With brilliant ideas always coming into workers’ minds and new procedures taking place, it’s just the way it is. Yet, sometimes these transitions include a whole new regime and owners who have so much trust in their abilities, they do not see beyond their own noses.
Several days ago, Reddit user NotLagrange created a post on r/MaliciousCompliance about exactly that. They work as a logistical consultant and had a long-term contract with a friend who inherited his family’s machine shop. Everything was going fine until the pandemic forced him to sell the business to an ignorant entrepreneur (who they referred to as Bob) with zero experience in the industry.
“He did not understand what exactly my job was and thought it was unnecessary,” NotLagrange wrote. The new boss gave the author an ultimatum to take a pay cut and lose benefits or be fired. But what Bob forgot is that his employee has filed two patents that were crucial for the company’s survival. Read on for the whole story.
