After a long day at work, many of us want to go home, make a hot cup of tea, and unwind from the daily stress. But imagine walking up to your manager, telling them you’re about to clock out, only to hear them say you need to wait for permission to leave. Even after you’re done with your shift.
While this scenario might sound absurd, this is precisely what happened to user Brooklynisqueerr who recently shared her story on Malicious Compliance. The author works at a kitchen appliances store and always gives her supervisor a heads up once her shift has ended. Yet, one day, the user felt seriously baffled after the manager seemed annoyed by her words.
It seems that the boss didn’t want the employee to leave, so she made a new rule on the spot: “Next time, you need to wait for a manager to let you go home.” If there’s one thing we know about senseless work rules, they can backfire in the most beautiful way. Read on for how the author maliciously complied and share your thoughts in the comments below.
