r/Maliciouscompliance Our Boss Told Us To Quit, So We Did

welcome to our slash malicious compliance where opie gets his bosses fired our next credit post is from blue you're my boy in high school a few friends and myself worked at a local chain restaurant we were fully able to run the day shift but had never really broken down the equipment and closed up for the evening one particular night a few of the night shift had called in sick and we were asked to pull a double and close the restaurant which we did we essentially worked from 10 am until after midnight just myself and my three friends and a manager we were really tired but felt that we had done the right thing and helped out the company the next day the four of us came into work for another day shift the day manager pulls us into our office one by one and informs us that she would need to write us up because we hadn't properly cleaned and filtered the fry grease this was in spite of the fact that we had worked double shifts had never closed or been trained on closing procedures and we've been given permission by the night manager to leave which meant that all closing work had been completed after a quick chat with my friends it was agreed that i was going to push back on the write up and if the manager insisted on writing us up we would quit i informed my manager that we were collectively not going to sign the write-up slips she threatened to fire us and i informed her that if she insisted on writing us up after we pulled a double hadn't been trained and had been released by a night manager then we would quit collectively quit immediately quits she responded with if you don't sign the right up then you'll be fired a staring contest ensues and i eventually break in with a okay i guess we're fired then we turned in our hats and left it was really really amazing my friend quit mid burger prep my other friend simply walked off the cash register in the middle of taking an order we clocked out and walked out the back leaving only the day manager in the restaurant there were customers in line and customers at the drive-thru later that same day we decided to return to our place of prior employment to have dinner the night shift must have still been sick because the entire restaurant was staffed with managers from nearby restaurants the same chain including our day manager who was now pulling her own double and the night manager who had released us the night before there was nothing better than eating our burgers and watching the management staff fail at every station and knowing that their pride lack of rational flexibility and threats have resulted in one of the most righteous meals we ever ate together needless to say we were all employed at the next chain restaurant down the street in a matter of days it's been nearly 30 years and i remember that standoff her ultimatum and her walk out like it was last week down in the comments we have this reply from rome hilia don't forget to filter that fry grease tonight as you saunter out the door our next reddit post is from it stupor i've been serving in a certain military branch for five years and i'm nearing the end of my contract so my give a care mentality is completely gone i'm in charge of inventory of specific pieces of equipment smaller pieces that are used by many people at my job from time to time these pieces disappear most of the time that just means something's been misplaced but we have many hired contractors who have a tendency to take things now every once in a while we conduct an inventory of these pieces of equipment for accountability reasons when we lose things it looks very bad on my work more specifically bad on my bosses so i prepared the inventory and i was surprised by the amount of missing pieces i did everything i was supposed to do and presented the inventory to my boss he didn't believe that we had so many pieces missing and asked me to inventory them again so i did i got the same number and i put the inventory in his inbox a few months go by and i get the same thing there can't be that many things missing do another inventory so i'm compliant and i do it again and again and again this gets dragged out for over a year and i'm starting to notice something my boss is about to leave his position soon and he's deliberately pushing this off to the next guy to cover himself so last week my boss tells me i have to do a specific survey with my co-workers that will get set up to the head honcho this survey allows a small guy to have a voice directly to the top i tell him that i can't because i have the night watch but he doesn't care and demands that i go do the survey fine before the survey starts our boss tells us that we have to be completely honest and all the surveys are anonymous rad i wrote down what had been happening with the inventory and directed them to where they could find the proof fast forward to yesterday all my bosses are fired and now i'm reporting to new people who are now fixing the issues with the inventory so op said that he's in the military but he didn't say what the items are that he's watching over i suppose there's a chance that these could be mundane items like screwdrivers and helmets but i can't help but wonder if these are things like grenades or c4 or assault rifles is it common for those things to just randomly go missing in the military because that seems really dangerous do you guys just wake up one morning and like oh has anyone seen our tank oh well our next reddit post is from ptpesq in 2008 i was involved in a federal lawsuit when my rural texas high school tried to suspend me for wearing a shirt supporting then-democratic hopeful john edwards they said it was a violation of the dress code which was only selectively enforced my parents had my back and agreed that it was to quote my very white dad redneck cracker nonsense i'll never forget during the initial meeting when my principal called in a school board member he said that if i got suspended i'd probably get kicked off the football team and that could hurt me getting into college that didn't matter i was a miserable player and a smart kid so football wasn't going to be the thing that took me to college however his slimy fake concern as he tried to leverage my future against my free speech is something i'll never forget anyway as the case goes on the squeeze gets tighter first they have the football coaches try to get me to drop the lawsuit having the football coaches talk about how my selfishness means that they can't wear a fellowship of christian athlete shirts anymore trying to embarrass me in front of the team i'm a fat kid who openly plays magic the gathering in high school hit me with your best shot i have no shame next they hold a meeting with all the teachers telling them that i'm a problem and that they need to keep an eye on me in case i slip up i found this out years after the fact when i bumped into my english teacher at a friend's wedding finally they just started pulling in students from my classes to get them to say bad stuff about me i was a class clown so this means that every single dirty joke rude comment or loud part i ever made ends up getting reported to school administration which then leads to this awful little toady vice principle calling me and my parents in and then reading my comments back to them in front of my mother that one stung my parents still knew that this was bs but who wants their locker room jokes aired in front of their own mother they used this as pretext to expel me for six weeks citing inappropriate sexual conduct they shove me into the disciplinary alternative education program and i'm effing steaming this program is basically where they warehouse kids with emotional problems that they can't handle you just sit in a room in a refurbished insane asylum and can't do anything but read or use the computer for modern educational purposes you also get booted from extracurricular activity while you're in there i know that at this point they want me to make a scene so they can punish me further so i do the exact opposite i channel all my rage and new free time into my schoolwork doing homework i would usually ignore because i knew i could ace a test now i'm doing both and my gpa is climbing i start looking into scholarships and find a bunch that are really interested in political activism and guess who now knows a little bit about that i apply and rip my school a new butthole in every single application essay then i work with my dad and find an attorney who will take my case pro bono which means that while the school is bleeding money and attorney fees it doesn't cost us anything to keep it in court i spent those weeks working like a monk motivated entirely by spite doing everything i could to make their bs work for me i got out got back on all my teams and ended up applying for a prestigious honors program at my dream school not only did i get in but i got way more financial support than i thought i would eventually we lost the case but the school had to abolish the dress code anyway because they couldn't afford to get sued over it again i don't like the idea that a school lost money but man they made their choice and they could have backed down whenever now i've graduated law school and i'm taking the bar in two weeks and already have a job investigating government corruption i'm getting paid to be a pain in the butt for petty authority and it's pretty sweet op i don't know if i would consider that court case a loss the school had to pay out the nose for their bad decision and they had to walk back their stupid dress code policies so even if they won the court case it was still a pyrrhic victory our next reddit post is from reckless commenter among 20 to 30 somethings around the world social dance has become not just a hobby but a community people routinely travel to other cities and even other countries to attend dance weekends with local dancers hosting visitors it's a great combination of fun social connections and hygienes and a physical skill that can ratchet up to high intensity many such events are organized by professionals who are event organizing rock stars other events are fly by the seat of their pants affairs run by amateur organizers who couldn't manage a lemonade stand this story is about the second kind of organizer an organizer announced a four-day dance camp in another state with a bunch of instructors it was a first time event but i knew these people from some past events and it sounded like fun four months before the event a registration website opened and the early bird registration cost was like 600 i had the time and money to spare so i bit the bull and bought a ticket weeks passed to be determined event details remained to be determined which was unusual but not that unusual more weeks passed i started periodically emailing the lead organizer asking for updates occasionally i got a vague answer that it's all good other times radio silence i had deepening skepticism four days before the start of the event i received a message from the lead organizer event cancelled something something rained damage to the venue i was disappointed but hardly surprised mostly i was annoyed because united airlines wouldn't change or refund my ticket so i asked the organizer when i should expect a refund sorry we lost all the money on the planning of this event no refunds what i started digging rain damage looks sketchy because the national weather service reported that the whole state had received one inch of rain in the past month i personally knew one of the lead organizers associates so i called him up yeah there was no rain damage he gave me an earful about months of non-planning the event had been a mirage i sent a rather to the point email message demanding a refund and the lead organizer agreed and asked for a few weeks the refund didn't arrive more email exchanges led to more promises and more misdates eventually about nine months after the scheduled event i received one last response don't ask me about this again or i won't refund anything i waited another month and then late one evening something in my brain clicked and i decided time's up cue malicious compliance he doesn't want me to ask about it again okay i won't instead i visited the main web forum for this dance community and posted my entire experience backed by facts and dates and quotes i copied the full unedited email exchange between me and this organizer up to and including his last message i reviewed and tweaked my post carefully repeatedly making sure that every statement was accurate and fair i clicked post and went to bed when i woke up the next morning my inbox was on fire the dance community came down on this organizer like a nuclear bomb upcoming events scratched him from the rosters people posted about some of the slimy things his organizer had done previously in past events students and some of his close friends turned their backs on him and the best part a few professional organizers of other top tier events publicly responded this is not how our community operates and not how we treat people and to prove it we're offering opi a complimentary pass to all of our events the lead organizer initially posted an indignant reply but quickly realized the gravity and hopelessness of his situation and shifted gears he called me which was the first time we actually communicated outside of email and he begged for forgiveness and he promised a full refund after sniveling a bit about needing to take a cash advance from a credit card the full refund arrived about a week later four years afterwards i periodically received messages from people reading hey this organizer wants to do an event with us but we heard something about a bad experience you had with him can you tell us what happened and then i say sure here's a link to the forum posted documents what went down great story op but next time just do a charge back on your credit card you get your money back and he gets a ruined credit score our next reddit post is from rhubarb my wife and i have used a salesman sexism against him and it was so satisfying it was when we bought our first new car we were nervous that we didn't know what we were doing so we did a lot of research it helps that my wife is a librarian when we got to the dealership the salesman would only talk to me i was all buddy buddy with the guy too but he completely ignored my wife we went along with them the dealer was running a promotion where they would give you a certain amount of money for your trade-in no matter the condition if you can drive it into the lot kind of deal of course they just don't discount off of msrp in those cases so it's a gimmick when we walked in the salesman asked which car was ours parked outside and then asked if we were trading it in i said no we weren't trading this car in you can see where this was going as i said we'd done our research and knew what a fair price was for the car we wanted at the time edmunds had detailed dealer level price information for many new cars including all the various ways that a dealer gets paid and what their true costs are i negotiated the price since he wouldn't talk to my wife and we arrived at a number that i thought was fair actually we had a good deal at that point everything was going smoothly as he wrote up our agreement until he confirmed that we didn't have a trade-in i said no we were trading in a car just not the one that we drove into the dealership with he literally froze for a few seconds looking down at the form his hand hovering over the page he asked the make model and year of our trade-in and when i told him he sputtered and balked the car we were trading in was on its last legs i'd headed throughout all of my college and it was old before i bought it it was definitely past its prime i said i thought you were running a promotion where the quality of the trade-in doesn't matter i asked him would you have given us a higher price if he knew we had a trade-in my wife said under her breath that's sleazy he heard her as she intended him to he then tried to renegotiate the price we knew from our research that if they gave us the price we'd already agreed on and they honored the trade-in deal that they would be losing money so we were willing to move a bit but we wanted to take our time he was visibly nervous every time he tried a new way of asking for a higher price i would say something like i understand what you're saying with a sympathetic look then i would look at my wife and she would look back at me and silently shake her head no i'd then look back at the salesman and drug and say i don't think that's gonna work he was stuck my wife was the one standing in the way of him getting out of his predicament but he hadn't talked to her at all he had barely even acknowledged her presence he just couldn't start talking to her now that we were negotiating oh and i even got to use that classic car salesman line what do i have to do for you to put me in this car today we finally agreed to raise the price to what we calculated must have been their break-even point we hadn't expected to get that low of a price and we also got them to install a nice aftermarket sound system it's the best deal we've ever gotten on a new car honestly we're not the best negotiators individually but that day we made one hell of a team that was our slash malicious compliance and if you like this content check out my patreon where i
