This manager’s own rule became a horror story for her.
How many times have you seen someone declare they were mean to someone and after that event, everything went perfectly for them? You will never see a person getting anywhere after being terrible to someone, especially bad managers who have a very mean and rude attitude towards their employees. It is written in those bad managers’ fate that they will never succeed in any of their bad missions. Even when their subordinates follow the exact rules set in place, things turn on the managers’ heads and they really don’t understand what happened.
Today’s story revolves around this very topic and comes under the header of “Malicious Compliance”. Now, as we all know when an employee decides to comply with their boss and throws in a pinch of maliciousness, the tables instantly turn over on that bad boss and the result is a beautiful lesson for the boss to learn and an amazing story for us to enjoy.
Reddit user u/QuixiQuirk had a terrible boss who managed to get stuck in an elevator. They tried their best to help but also maliciously complied with her orders (rules) which didn’t allow him to help her. She ended up staying stuck for 5 hours and you know this much time is enough for that bladder to fill right up to the brim.
The rest of what happened, you guys will be reading on your own. It is a long story so you guys have to bare with it but trust me, you are going to finish it in minutes given how fun and interesting it is.
Scroll down below to enjoy some malicious compliance!
1. Manager is in trouble and needs help from her subordinate. Let’s see how it goes.

2. We are about to go back in time for this one.

3. OP worked at a classic video store and it seems the job was perfect for them.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
4. Everything was perfect except for his manager, Amanda.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
5. Amanda hadn’t really had the best of lives and she now takes out all her frustration on her employees.
Basically, she made a lot of decisions in her life and she is about to make one again in a bit.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
6. She would be extra rude to OP because apparently, she had developed special hate for college students.
At least she kept the Karens out. This really is a plus point. But what’s the point when the person keeping the Karens out is a Karen?
Via u/QuixiQuirk
7. Not only was Amanda a terrible manager, she also had no clue about the job and would always make OP sort all her messes out for her.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
8. Amanda was Ken’s daughter-in-law and there wasn’t really much he could do about her even though he was well aware of Amanda’s attitude
Via u/QuixiQuirk
9. Amanda wanted to make a phone call but as soon as she saw OP was already using it to deal with a customer, she went crazy and got super rude to them.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
10. OP was filled with anger but somehow managed to hold onto himself.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
11. Amanda stormed off but lit a spark within OP to do something about this. He didn’t know how, but he knew he has to.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
12. OP made this revenge a part of his bucket list. You know it will come.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
13. She would create the path herself and OP would barely have to do anything.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
14. OP went to the bathroom and even there he couldn’t escape the wrath of his manager. Let the man pee in peace, woman! He, of course, ignored her like she didn’t exist.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
15. Amanda obliterated OP but you can notice how she is giving very specific orders to him and I am sure he is making notes of it.
First, he was not allowed to use the phone, now he is not allowed to leave the floor.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
16. OP was certain he would get his moment.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
17. One morning OP came in and noticed the lift was out of order.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
18. OP saw Amanda getting out of her office room and going straight towards the elevator. She stepped in and it stopped working midway.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
19. Amanda got stuck and started screaming for help.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
20. She called OP for help and he knew this was it.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
It came! OP’s moment finally came. He had been patiently waiting all the pieces to fall in place. There’s only him and Amanda and she is stuck in an elevator and she has no other options but to ask OP to help her. I cannot wait to read how OP responds to this situation because such moments only come once in a lifetime and one should squeeze all opportunity out of them.
21. OP starts to toy with her at first.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
22. In comes the first malicious compliance to Amanda’s orders about not leaving the floor.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
23. Does she think the cursing will help her case?
Via u/QuixiQuirk
24. This sounds like he is taking all of Amanda’s powers away…like some evil vampire sucking someone’s blood out.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
25. OP complies again with Amanda’s second order about not using the phone. This is amazing.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
26. Amanda went silent and it felt like she had finally realized her mistake.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
27. There’s no way to get OP to bend now.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
28. She went all out and fired OP.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
29. OP had nothing to lose now so he decided to leave Amanda on her own.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
30. This is the most hilarious piece of conversation.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
31. None of Amanda’s pleads worked as OP left the building.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
32. He really is going all out. Not even a cry for pee melted him.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
33. OP arrived at Ken’s place.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
34. Ken knows something is up.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
35. OP is dragging it as much as he can.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
36. And he finally shares the tale.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
37. Even Ken enjoyed the moment.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
38. It looks like Ken wanted something like this to happen for a very long time.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
39. OP planted flowers with Ken, got unfired, and went home. Amanda on the other hand spent 5 hours stuck in the elevator with a full bladder.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
40. She certainly would never want to mess with anyone…ever.
Via u/QuixiQuirk
I can bet the story was worth reading given how long it was. I hope the manager learned a very good lesson from this event.
