What would you do if your boss asked you to cut off internet access for the employees, but not for him and his partners? Would you comply, or would you refuse? One Reddit user, u/mdlapla, decided to go with the former option, but with a twist.
OP followed their boss’s order exactly as he said, but they also made sure that the boss and his partners would suffer the consequences of their own request. The result was a hilarious story of malicious compliance, where the boss and his partners were exposed for their hypocrisy and incompetence, while the employees proved their dedication and productivity. The story was posted on the infamous subreddit r/MaliciousCompliance. The platform has over 3.9 Million members posting and reviewing stories with similar foundations. So you just know the content we have got for you guys today is bound to be good.
The community members of the subreddit and people from all around the internet had a lot to say about what happened in the story. Let’s just say the mindset of the bosses mentioned in the story was not liked by the general public…at all.
The rest is being left on you guys. Scroll down below to read the story and do share your views as well.

1. You want to chose your orders very wisely when you have an employee who likes to comply maliciously with them.
2. A friend of OP’s in a networking company offered him to join the same business.
3. The job was really easy and OP quickly got the hang of it. He was enjoying the monetary benefits as well.
4. The business was run by May and June and the CEO was CEOPeter who was connected with June through her husband.
5. Too many Peters, don’t you think?
6. The top-line management, which was part of the sales representatives never really worked too much. It was mostly the accountant, the technicians, and the other sales representatives doing all of the work.
7. May would spend most of her day browsing the internet while June would spend hers chatting to another guy…who is also a Peter.
8. OP’s time at work would go mostly in trying clean up CEOPeter’s computer from all the viruses and terrible things stored on it.
9. Literally, no one works at this place.
I am so confused right now. If no one works at this networking company, how is it making money? How are things moving on? Wow, that sounds like a dream like a dream company for lazy people. I am interested to know how things will move forward here, As we are still being introduced to characters till now.

10. One day, May approached OP and told him one of her sales representatives was not working and browsing the internet instead. Turns out, they were using the internet to look up something work-related.
11. May wanted OP to deal with the situation instantly so OP complied by turning the internet off…but the malicious part was that he did it for the whole company.
12. Within 2 minutes the entire leadership came running to OP’s office asking what had happened to the internet.
13. OP told them he simply followed May’s orders. May clarified she wanted the internet turned off the sales representatives only…OP told her it doesn’t work like that.
14. May, June, and CEOPeter were all furious but because there was no other optin, they had to agree to have the internet reinstated for everyone.

16. May and June were also sales representatives so even if OP cut the internet off specifically for those people, May and June would’ve stilled suferred.

17. It is so easy to fool bosses who do not know the subject they give orders to their employees about.
