An online user took to a popular platform to narrate his story of malicious compliance after his boss wouldn’t stop trying to get in contact with him.
He Punished His Employee by Making It Harder for Himself to Heckle Him!
A man worked for a small company and discovered that his boss was a special shade of stupid.
“The owner of a small company issued me a company cell phone (that I didn’t need) and felt that gave him an excuse to call me any time of day or night – work day or not – with stupid questions.”
He Invented Stupid Rules – That He Kept Changing.
The boss issued phone commandments that must be adhered to.
“One rule was that we had to answer ASAP. Another was we were not to talk on the phone while driving – we had to pull over and park, then answer and talk.”
His Stupid Rules Backfired – Big Time!
The boss swiftly learned that his silly phone rules weren’t benefitting anyone.
“So one morning, I’m driving to work and should get to the office about fifteen minutes early when he rings my phone.”
It Made Him Late for Work.
Traffic en route to the OP’s work was chaotic and because he had to answer his phone immediately, mayhem ensued.
“Morning traffic is heavy near the office, and it takes me some time to get out of traffic and park in a parking lot before I answer. He keeps it ringing the whole time.”
His Boss Was Furious.
After searching for fifteen minutes to find somewhere safe to park to answer the phone, the boss was rather unamused.
“When I finally answer, he asks, ‘Where are you?’ I told him that I’m about ten minutes from the office, but I had to stop to answer his call. He asks, ‘Why aren’t you here yet?'”
He’d Be There Already if It Weren’t for These Idiotic Rules.
With his boss irate because his employee was late, the man calmly explained that it was his boss’s bonkers rules that were the cause.
“I tell him again that I probably would have been at the office by now, but his call and rules have me sitting in a parking lot instead. I ask, ‘What is the hurry? Is there an emergency? If I weren’t interrupted, I would have been in the office early.’”
They Bicker for a Good Fifteen Minutes.
The boss chewed his employee’s ear off for a quarter of an hour – making him even later.
“This type of stupid banter continues for a while until he gets tired. So he hangs up and I continue to the office, now about fifteen minutes late.”
He Confiscated His Cellphone.
After arriving late because of the boss’s ludicrous rules, the boss decided to punish the man.
“When I get to the office, the owner meets me and demands that I give him back the phone. Says I do not deserve it. Hurray! Now he is unable to keep calling and bothering me.”
But the Foolishness Doesn’t End There…
The boss appeared to forget all about the incident.
“About a week later, the owner stops into my cube and asks why I am not answering his cell phone calls. I reminded him that he confiscated that phone. Apparently, he shoved it into a drawer, and he cannot hear it ring.”
He Bailed Out.
Needless to say, the employee grew tired of this lunacy.
“Yeah, I moved on to greener pastures not long after this.”
He Shared His Tale Online – And the Reactions Were Quite Something!
Online users didn’t hold back their opinions on this dim-wit boss.
“Wow, it sounds like that boss could be outwitted by a sack of hammers. Is he allowed out in public without supervision?”
Online Users Were Quite Puzzled
Online users simply cannot fathom how anyone would think those rules were reasonable.
