Firing a competent employee is not the right move, your organization will surely collapse.
One thing, we have not understood yet is why bad managers are always against good employees. Companies should value their competent employees. It is through their efforts that you are making success in your business. Otherwise, one wrong employee can make you regret your decision. A photographer got a job in a photo studio. He was very enthusiastic about his job and loved doing it. He put extra effort into his work and brought many clients. There was a three-strike policy in the company where OP worked. OP already got two strikes and they were reasonable. Then, a client made two complaints against OP the same day and the company wanted OP to leave. This was when the malicious compliance started. Scroll down to read what OP did.
