‘Fine, No Problem. I’ll Clean the Floor.’ : Bossy Manager Treats Overworked Employee Poorly, Giving Him Extra Duties That Are Not Part of His Job Description, Leading To Malicious Compliance


The service industry is pretty volatile, as the environment is not exactly a professional one. If you've never had a job in this line of work, let me tell you, you are not missing out. What goes on behind the scenes ain't pretty. For some weird reason, managers in restaurants generally seem to be on some power trip. Their ego quickly outgrows their head, leading to repetitive conflict.

u/Dio_bean took to Reddit, sharing his own experience with a terrible manager who instructed him to do a 'deep clean' in the restaurant, which was not a part of his job description. His work consisted mostly of assisting the servers, and he made about 8 dollars an hour. In his own words, he was feeling 'cheeky' — so he complied with his boss's wishes, consequently complying a little too hard. This resulted in malicious compliance mixed with petty revenge.

He abandoned his actual job for these extra duties, adopting a 'You got what you asked for' attitude. His boss was furious, to say the least. But hey, he's 20 years old, and this isn't exactly his dream job, dude. Maybe next time don't be such a (insert bad word). Scroll down for the whole story.
