'I can’t wait for [my boss] to come back to this': Absent boss gives vague instructions about client grievance form, coworkers drown her in paperwork


This is what happens when an absent boss gives her employees unclear instructions. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Hot_Supermarket4369, whose boss is in absentia most of the time. Her phone is almost always on Do Not Disturb and she rarely graces her employees with her presence at the office. 

 

Their company is a small nonprofit organization that doubles as a makeshift home for 20+ clients who live there. So what happened when the boss decided to finally create a client grievance form right before she went on vacation? Well, the coworkers weren't exactly sure how she wanted that form distributed to the client given her vague directions. So, the client filled them all out at once. Now, when the boss returns (if she ever returns to the office), she will be drowned in paperwork. That's what you get for being a terrible manager!
