Discover what happens when your boss isn’t your biggest fan. One individual learned this the hard way, realizing it only after spending months at the company. In a captivating tale shared by aineslis, we will take a journey through a workplace scenario set in Europe, where rules diverge from those of the rest of the world in terms of employee rights and conduct regulations.
OP didn’t mesh well with the company culture. In a banking environment where bosses hold sway and conformity is prized, OP stood out like a sore thumb. They dared to voice opinions and suggest changes, feeling frustrated by the team’s silence. Unfortunately, this approach didn’t endear them to the leadership, who preferred smooth sailing over waves of disruption. Eventually, it became clear that OP wasn’t the team player they sought, leading to subtle attempts to nudge them out of the job.
How did OP react? They simply complied with the orders…with a hint of maliciousness. Scroll down below to enjoy the story!

1. In another episode of malicious compliance…
2. Long ago OP used to work in a bank that was good in all departments except for its management that was very strict about timing.
3. Moreover, the senior management didn’t like OP much as he would confidently raise his thoughts and opinions without worrying about what others would say.
4. One week, after working an unpaid overtime shift for two hours on a Thursday, he chose to leave work 10 minutes early on Ftiday.
5. On Monday, OP got called into a meeting with the management because of this.
6. OP’s manager initiated things off by asking him why he left work early on Friday.
7. Leaving 10 minutes early without permission was a like a crime to these guys that OP committed.
8. The fact that OP just agreed with the “9 to 6” statement is telling me he has got something cooking up in his mind.
9. OP decided to maliciously comply with the senior manager’s “9 to 6” instruction.
10. However, OP knew he had to put this maliciousness to good use so he anxiously waited for the last day of the month when the workload is triple times the normal.
11. In came the last day of the month and everyone was stressed, except OP who logged in at 9 sharp and was chill.

I am so excited about what is about to happen. OP is so good at hyping this. All I know is that the management is going to regret everything they did that led them up to this moment. I think the wise man said “Choose your words wisely” for a reason.
One thing I know for sure is that a good employee’s patience should never be tested. It will never go in the favor of the tester. Let’s see how OP dealt with this situation. Scroll down below to continue reading!
12. He made sure to take all the available breaks there were to take.
13. He would never have to work overtime because his boss said he had to work till 6, so he was making sure he enjoyed every bit of free slot there was to enjoy.
14. Just 15 minutes before off-time OP received a call other side of the country to amend a report…He started but then the clock ticked 6.
15. The day is over. Goodnight.
16. This is malicious compliance at its best.
17. OP simply grabbed his stuff and left work as day had ended. The management couldn’t believe what had just happened.
18. He knows how to milk it.
19. OP did relax the rule in the future but he made sure the overtime remained capped at 30 minutes.
20. Out of this whole clarity/update, I am just glad to read OP doesn’t work there anymore.
