This employee was surprised every day by the odd way their nepo-boss chose to run a business.

Ask and you shall receive. When this company representative decided to make empty threats, I'm sure he thought it would make him look tough and professional. Instead, it backfired spectacularly on him. This malicious compliance story takes place at a small family-run company that specialized in trucking. This person knew that relationships with their clients were important to the company's long term success. So when they encountered another business's representative who rubbed them the wrong wa…

Working in logistics is an underappreciated job — this person's work wasn't appreciated until everything started going off the rails. When roles switch around in a company, things around bound to slip between the cracks. Especially when there are bosses like this guy, the deputy project manager on an Australian pipeline project. As he stepped in to replace the regular project manager , he didn't quite know who was responsible for which tasks. The OP of this story writes that their regular proje…

If you have a generic email address and a generic name, there's a high likelihood that you've received someone else's information by mistake...

This is not exactly the ideal way to find out you're getting fired...

Well, if this tenant is pursuing a case, he certainly has enough evidence.

One employee experienced an office worker's worst nightmare — accidentally sharing a snarky email with their boss . It's never been easier to send a text or email. You can type anything up on your phone, and send it in just a few clicks. So you have to be super careful what you write , just in case it accidentally happens to get sent. U/kpmurphy56 explained in their TIFU post that morale has been low at their workplace in the aftermath of numerous layoffs. So when they got an email from the bos…

Customers demand an unholy amount of attention, clearly under the impression that they are the center of the universe and their every need must be doted on. Unfortunately for these Karens, they aren't the boss of everyone else. This Karen customer sent a feisty email to OP, who was the manager of an employee who made a simple mistake in delivering the wrong internet item to said Karen. OP offered his apologies and told the customer he would return the item at the company's expense, plus ship th…

It doesn't get more satisfying than shutting down your landlord.

Proving your landlord wrong is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As we all know, the rental market is ruthless right now, and this apartment manager tried to take advantage of their tenants as a result. What they didn't realize was that this one tenant was thorough and precise about what they signed in their initial agreement. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Apartmentliving subreddit by u/Mundane_Tension369 , and let the original poster's email correspondence serve as evidence that you too…

This dude told a hilarious story of email insanity, writing, “I witnessed this astounding IT meltdown around 2004 in a large academic organization…”

When the CEO of this IT company demanded changes to his email system, he totally miscalculated the consequences.

This principal should have known better than to test the patience of this school teacher! Public school teachers already have so much on their plates, but this teacher's situation sounds especially grim. As u/Middle_Pound_822 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, their school is currently plagued by an “overwhelming sewage smell.” It's so bad that lots of the teachers have moved their classrooms into the hallway . That resulted in the ire of the school supervisor , who responded with a petty email (…

This HR department just wouldn't listen to their employees. U/bolshe-viks-vaporub shared this story of malicious compliance against their own employer. As the OP writes, their company got traded to a DoD contracting company, leading to changes in company policy . For the OP, a hard worker who often worked way more than 40 hours per week, things just weren't adding up. They tried repeatedly to contact the company's HR department about the mistake, but were continually ignored. Finally, they deci…

There is nothing worse than receiving an unwanted email at work.

One Redditor has a nosy boss who's about to get way more sass than they bargained for!
