‘I got my boss fired’: Boss tells employee to ‘stay in the office’, employee complies, boss gets fired as a result


Management naturally steers towards less actual work by ordering employees around rather than stepping up and doing what is needed for the role. So it isn't surprising when some employees begin holding a vendetta. This corporate manager got his own personal annual goals and sent them off to OP, his employee, adding to his long list of responsibilities. Every year, the manager would unfairly get a bonus for OP's hard work.

In order to deliver results, OP had to leave his desk at times, even the office. But because OP had a lot of responsibilities of his own, AKA in his own job description, he was torn between staying inside and helping other employees, to going out and completing all his boss's tasks. His boss was furious that OP dared leave the office (to complete the tasks he'd assigned him, mind you) and told OP that he must not leave his desk under any circumstances.

So, OP decided to maliciously comply. OP didn't leave his desk at all… let alone the office. His boss's annual review came around, which he failed miserably thanks to OP's compliance with his request. This led to a lot of scrutiny for OP's boss, and upper management found out a lot of things that he had been hiding, leading to his own firing. Scroll down to read the detailed account of events.
