r/maliciouscompliance | Be a BAD Business Owner? Enjoy the consequences...

hello everybody hope you're all doing well my name is steven and this is the story time channel just a quick reminder that i do giveaways every week so if you're interested and don't know how to enter just stay tuned until later in the video and i'll tell you exactly how to that said we've got some malicious compliance stories so let's jump right into our first one of the day by a horse has no name congratulations you suck as a business owner enjoy the consequences so one of the partners of the business i work for left under bad terms of his own making he was massively under-qualified for the position he was in and spent a lot of time doing menial office tasks because he wasn't up for the real business management responsibilities after he left i got promoted from being an accountant to being the controller because i had basically demonstrated i could keep the business moving the entire time he was messing around no hard feelings for me though i wasn't angry at the guy and i got a nice pay bump after he left his remaining partners reformed the business under a new llc and carried on without him he didn't reform under a new llc so he's been using that llc to do business i got a check from the irs for something like 50 i sent a message to the partners including him because it was made out to the old company and he demanded that since he was still using the old llc it belonged to him but whatever can i scan you an image of the check i'm pretty busy nope he wants me to send his mail to him certified i'm freaking busy and he's clearly teabagging me by text just to show me he was still the boss cue malicious compliance i held under the check for like four weeks or so because i couldn't leave the office in time to get to the post office he was livid about the delay it's not my job but i was happy to do it and eat his abuse because i also had to send him his reminders to pay their registration fees to the state he did say he wanted me to send his mail to him certified so i assumed he meant everything they came to me because he never bothered to update the company's mailing address so i sent him his 50 check along with the renewal reminder for 150 and the dingleberry didn't bother renewing when he received so with penalties it probably came out to be around 300 the fun part is that his former partners were just going to cut a check for the renewal on his behalf before he started acting like a tick let me ask you if this was you and you had the mail would you have found a way to ship it out to them would you have gone and delivered it to them or would you have just sat on it until they came and got it let me know in the comments down below our next story is by reality is subjective an old woman tried economy into getting a deal i decided to conor right back okay technically this ain't malicious compliance because there's no actual rules but i still think this story belongs here my dad owns and operates a little locksmith service in a parking lot and i used to work for him once a week it was amazing because unlike my corporate type job i didn't have to worry about people going over my head to the manager one day this old woman comes and asks to have some keys cut i told her the total will be seven dollars to which she replied that she only had five dollars my dad told me that i can give people benefit of the doubt when i wanted and i'd rather make a five than nothing so i cut her keys and when it was time to pay she handed me a ten dollar bill obviously this woman had lied to save a couple bucks so without hesitation i took the tin thanked her and went to the back without giving her change she angrily asked me back and i told her that she said she only had a five on her she paid with one bill so it must have been a five right there's no way this nice old lady would lie to me so i went to the back again this time she called for me again shouting absolutely mad that i had taken her ten dollar bill i kept playing dumb until she said the words i lied i'm sorry i know better when she finally did i gave her the three dollar change and sent her away to be fair i would probably do the exact same thing if this isn't a corporate type deal and it's a family owned type scenario if you said it was seven dollars they said five and then they gave you a ten you're getting three dollars in change back i would think the majority of people would probably do that where they only get the three dollars back because it's seven dollars and you gave them a ten dollar bill wouldn't you guys think would you disagree with that let me know this next story is by asakura the time the agency got a request for a man a few years back i worked in a factory through an agency a worker quit and i offered to take his station until a proper replacement could be found and trained this job involved lifting 50-pound equipment over your head several times a day and moving heavy machinery around i was a small female a bit stronger now so i had to get a co-worker to help me sometimes it was doable for this short period anywho the factory owner asked the agency for a man because it's a lot of heavy lifting and that's a man's job he told the agency to just give whichever guy they picked a six month contract the agency sent a 55 year old man with back issues who wasn't allowed to lift more than 20 pounds for anyone wondering it was definitely intentional the woman who ran the agency was a big feminist and promoter of equal opportunities edit and for anyone who wondered what happened afterwards not much really the guy was happy to get hired at his age and whenever a supervisor complained he'd refer them to his doctor i left the company before his six months were over so sadly i don't know what happened after that but i do know that the agency is still operational and hasn't been sued well good for that guy getting a job that's probably pretty easy for him and a six month contract to do it on that a job where you only can lift 50 pound type stuff and they can only lift 20 they're probably doing pretty minuscule stuff right this next story is by just call me eli group in shared lab doesn't want to share some of my work requires that i use the shared lab the materials we use require certain safety and cleanliness standards and because it's a shared space my group doesn't have full control over the things that happen there my co-workers and i do our best to be responsible even when others aren't this includes doing things like replacing consumables autoclaving trash cleaning up workspaces etc we definitely do more than our fair share of work but we put up with it so that we stay safe and our experiments don't get contaminated and also to avoid fines and audits but i feel obligated to mention safety first the malicious compliance comes in when one group decided that they don't want to share anything in this shared lab space they started to label everything with dr grumpy's lab only including common use items like disinfectant bottles and waste bins okay fine our equipment went into locked drawers and we stopped doing anything helpful to maintain their stuff within one week their group got cited from misusing the autoclave and for mishandling samples i also noticed today that they had a new spray bottle of ethanol sitting next to two empty ones on their bench apparently seventy percent is too hard to mix from a stock bottle in the end i think i'm glad they pulled this move we get to do less work and we don't have to worry about taking any blame for it sounds like a wanting their cake and eating it too type situation where it's kind of like half the people are actually doing all the dishes but for some reason the other half only want to be able to use the dishes so of course the people that are washing them are just going to wash their own dishes and the people that don't wash them obviously are going to end up with a huge pile of messy dishes and stacks up to the ceiling and then they'll get fined and audited our next story is by blue comms you want us to wear our dress uniforms all day we can do that this happened a few years ago and i look back on it and smile from time to time to set the stage i'm in the air force and work in communications specifically i work with radios i'm part of a very normal quiet squadron that is on a very normal quiet base reed my base doesn't have fighter jets or a special operations or anything like that the squadron was the epitome of the stereotype about the air force being more of a corporation than the military with that atmosphere comes a certain amount of nonsensical decisions that get made and one of which was made by my commander at the time he wasn't a bad guy by any means but also wasn't an ultra chad maverick from top gun type he fit in well with the atmosphere of the squadron and the base and most of the time all was well one day word comes down that we are to show up in our dress blues on monday for an inspection and then wear them all day to increase morale this moral increasing event would then continue weekly until further notice for those of you who have never been in the military a dress uniform is a massive headache while the air forces is much more akin to a standard suit with some ribbons and rank insignia sewn on it with a funny hat it was still expected that your tailored uniform will be lint-free at all times unwrinkled and clean things that are never expected of our working uniform which is essentially just heavy-duty pajamas they're a pain in the butt to keep clean they're uncomfortable and when you're wearing them you're under constant scrutiny needless to say wearing your dress uniform doesn't increase morale only blood pressure and the urge to drink come monday everyone shows up in their fancy crisp clean dress uniforms for an inspection the inspection is carried out people are told they don't fit into their uniforms anymore and need to get that figured out gripes are made and we're cut loose to work all as well for the majority of the squadron see most of the people i work with are your typical i.t people where they're at their desk for most of the day under those circumstances it is absolutely okay to wear a uniform that's more akin to a suit but in my job radio we tend to get dirty we climb towers crawl under floors and above ceilings and often find ourselves in situations that leave us pretty filthy when we all realized that we were expected to do our work in a uniform that's expected to stay clean and is expensive to replace we realized that there was going to be an issue we put our heads together and tried to come up with a way to push all of our physical work off until the next day no dice as the disappointment set in a co-worker spoke up somewhere in the law-like regulations there was a line that mentioned that one cannot be made to do physical work in our dress uniforms after some digging we were armed with the following note i can't remember if this was the subsection we cited or if there was another regardless this gets the point across 1.2.1 airmen will wear the appropriate air force uniform while performing military duties so we sat following the regulations to the letter and using the time to knock out computer-based training and respond to emails eventually our section chief individual who was in charge of multiple shops with similar functions came down to relay that they were starting to get angry calls and to ask why we weren't working after some explaining they took it to our commander i wasn't there for the conversation but it was relayed back to us here's how it went section chief said hey sir i needed to send radio home to change commander said why everyone needs to be in blues today per afi air force instruction our regulations governing everything they aren't able to perform their work in their blues why do they all have to be sent home because they were told they'd be in blues all day and didn't bring their normal uniform how long is this going to take three hours max why a few of them live far away and they need ample time to change and by the time they get back they'll be in their lunch block fine just tell them to hurry up the good news was relayed to us and we all hurried home and got out of our monkey suits and back into our comfy working uniforms moseying on back just in time to take our lunches i'm sure i'll catch flak from all the marines for that part we found out that the angry calls had continued while we were gone and the callers didn't feel much better being told the new lead time on their projects after that blues mondays were relegated to once a quarter and it was stipulated that if your work was such that it couldn't be performed in your blues you'd need to bring your utility uniform to change into after the inspection we still didn't like the inspections but it was much better than that flavor of morale boosting pardon me here but the whole everybody's going to be wearing their blues for morale boosting really comes off as a bs excuse to me it's like saying all the kids can go out to recess but they're going to take four laps around the field first for morale boosting it doesn't intrinsically just make anybody happier in the end i'm glad that op and the rest of the people in his sector were able to wear their utility pajamas whenever they're actually at work and not having to deal with getting their blues dirty or messed up this next story is by s3 xy southern b that one right there i've written before about my adventures in years gone by working in a mall pretzel place and the wonderfully terrible people karen's i came across but here's another tiny malicious compliance slash petty revenge it's a long exposition on this one so strap in we used to sell pretzel bites little soft bites served in a cup and these were a favorite of customers you typically got more than a normal pretzels for only slightly more cost ideal for sharing between two kids or friends however we began getting complaints that the cup wasn't full enough or the bites were too small over and over again people would come back whining how they didn't get enough or the bites were too small we typically could fit around 10 to 12 pretzel bites in a cup when they were proper size then sometimes larger ones or smaller bites would make the cups look more or less full usually it was the same people causing problems at the mall twice a week same exact time with kid in tow for whatever and always complaining we had a pretty clear we will only replace it if something is actually wrong on our part policy and i especially loved reminding customers that if they chose the cup or pretzel it's on them this part always made me laugh because we'd have a line around the block and some kids screaming i want that cup not that one the big one in the back and mommy or daddy always demanded that one despite me trying to explain it was not full it was older and intended or samples etc naturally they returned a few minutes later to try and complain to which i politely responded but that's the one you insisted on having anyway my manager was sick and tired of hearing all this crap it was around the typical here comes the annoying needs of bratty kids and parents time so he asked our cook to make the largest fluffiest softest looking bites possible they were so large we could barely fit four in the cup these suckers were beautiful it looked like fresh torn apart bread gleaming and drenched in butter because the sides weren't dark brown they soaked up a ton of butter i'm talking you can squeeze an ounce out of those suckers so the trap was laid along comes yet another identically whiny kid and parents in tow kid sees the cup and back demands it i politely explain it's intended for samples because there's not very many bites in the cup mom yells at me demanding said cup i comply two minutes later here comes angry mommy and upset kid this cup wasn't full i'd demand another one my lovely manager steps in ma'am you were informed this cup wasn't full and insisted upon it despite my employees best intentions i can't do that you got exactly what you asked for this repeated for one week until we'd cycled through all the obnoxious people and suddenly we have nicer customers parents telling their bratty kids let the lady decide she'll get you the best cup and a very polite thank you hands down think manager saved us for a few months from a horrible customer service abuse it's only them to blame the employees told them exactly what the situation was they laid it out perfectly for them they're the ones that couldn't understand that they got exactly what they ordered so quickly now i just want to

not like the video because it helps more than you know that being said our final story of the day is by advocates ibrius asked pound of wings okay you got it i worked as a cook at a chain restaurant that had a wing night where you could get a pound of wings at a discounted price we didn't actually weigh the wings our spec said eight wings to a pound 4 drums and 4 flats one night a table comes in and everyone orders a pound of wings a little while after having the wings go out the server comes back a little flustered and explains there has been a complaint apparently one of the guys at the table complained that it was obvious that he didn't get a pound because it would be a huge coincidence if everyone's pounds led to the same number of wings on each plate he insisted that the server go and weigh these already discounted wings to make sure he was getting what he paid for so we waited sure enough it was not a pound it was a pound and a half we tell the server to bring it out and tell him he's getting more than a pound she says freak no he paid for a pound he's going to get what he paid for and threw two of his wings in the garbage and re-weighed the food still over throws another one out bang on one pound of wings so she brings back out his five wings and calmly tells the gentleman here are your wings sir you were right there was more than a pound there so we threw the other ones out good catch when they ordered a second round he didn't complain that everyone got eight wings to a pound there's been a number of these stories that i've heard before i think if it was me i might see eight wings and be like well maybe it isn't a pound but i feel like it'd also be too socially awkward to try and call them out on it or try and make any kind of a stink about it really because it's eight wings and it's already discounted it's probably a pretty decent price but with that being said that's all the time we have for today so if you have a favorite story of the day let
