This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike. OP writes that the work was demanding, but it was worth it, because most people were truly grateful for the helping hand. Not everyone can move their own belongings, and even if you can,…

This company laid off a bunch of people , and the remaining employees are not thrilled about the downsizing decision. No employee wants to be part of a company that's a sinking ship. If the business you're in starts downsizing and letting people go, it can create a ripple effect. The remaining employees will be walking on eggshells around their bosses, not knowing if they'll be the next to go. And with their coworkers leaving a gap in production, some people are sure to be burdened with additio…

No one ever said moving was easy, and this customer seems determined to make it as hard as possible. That's no problem for her, because she's not doing the heavy lifting — a group of movers are. U/_korvan_ shared this great story about the time they just wanted to do their job and go home, but were stymied by a customer. Being a mover is a physically demanding job each and every day. These folks work hours each day to take people's boxes and furniture from their old house to their brand new liv…

At this company, there is zero room for error when it comes to driving the company trucks . Employees can never use the trucks for personal use, so if they don't like it, there's the door. This salesman clearly values his job, so he followed the rules to a T. Some companies are extremely strict with their property. Whether they're monitoring every keystroke you type into your computer, or keeping an eagle eye on the company van's GPS, it can put every employee on edge. Businesses like this almo…

Does anyone else who drives a pickup truck also have to deal with this nonsense? Because this driver seems to frequently get his vehicle confused with some kind of communal dumpster. And no, it's not like there's some misleading design on his pickup truck that would seem to suggest it belongs to a garbage company. For whatever reason, the image of the pickup truck alone seems to conjure the idea of trash in many people's minds. So here's what happened to this driver, who shared his story via th…

Though this guy claimed to know how to do his job, safety wasn't on his list of concerns. That alone should have told his boss that this dude wasn't a good fit for the role. U/rslashcallousheart had a story to share about the time they worked as a stage hand , setting up stages and equipment for music venues. It's quite the hands-on job, requiring the workers to move heavy equipment not just on the ground, but sometimes high off the ground. These things are so heavy that the workers are require…

If your parent sets you up to get a job, it's understandable why you'd want to give the role a chance. However, for this person, the red flags were waving almost as soon as they met the dude who was about to be their boss. First impressions matter a lot, which is why some bosses will put on their happiest face while interviewing. That's what happened to u/iheartzigg, who told the r/MaliciousCompliance community about their disastrous trucking gig . It seems like the OP's boss managed to seem no…

Office camaraderie is never stronger when you're pitted against an annoying coworker or boss . It really brings people together to know that you're both subject to the whims of a jerk who you can't do anything about. There are certainly better ways to build team camaraderie , but you work with what you have. This malicious compliance story comes from u/flavius_lacivious, who worked at a manufacturing plant in the shipping and receiving department . Unfortunately for them, they were surrounded b…

There are plenty of petty revenge stories out there, but rarely do you come across a true revenge tale that ends with someone getting both fired and arrested.

“Why don't you just fire us then.” is an empty threat that you should never make, somewhere along the lines of “If you don't do this I quit” or “Why don't you just leave if you don't like it." When one makes such threats they're saying it thinking they're in a position of power. It's a power move and manipulation tactic to force a subordinate (or someone you otherwise have power over) into reluctantly accepting whatever terms you are proposing. By giving them an “out”, the person in power is ps…

This will serve as a friendly reminder to managers everywhere that if your employee repeatedly requests for something to be fixed, you better listen to them!

If there's one thing to learn in life, it's to always be kind to your mechanic.

This guy wondered if he was in the wrong for trying to be a good neighbor to some folks who made a snap judgement about him. As the OP, u/goodneighbor123 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, he and his family moved to Ontario, Canada, where the conditions are frosty cold. Since he's familiar with the weather conditions , he writes that he often puts his wife's windshield wipers up before a storm. Then, he strolls the neighborhood to where his five other neighbors live and puts their wipers up for them, ju…

At this moving company , the boss isn't going to let his employees get taken advantage of. Most rules are there because of previous situations that necessitated them, as this boss proved to his employee. User u/_korvan_ shared a story from their youth, some 30 years ago, when they took a job as a mover at age 16. While there, they had to deal with their fair share of entitled people . The OP shared that they and their boss showed up to one house that had a double door at the front of the house…

Car lovers, gather ‘round - these are real drivers out on the roads, rocking some excellent custom license plates.

I think a Corolla could drive right under this…
