Digital Marketing Specialist Fixes Critical Issues, Told to Unfix it By Micromanaging New Boss


There's nothing more satisfying than going above and beyond in your job and receiving no recognition for it. Even better is going above and beyond to fix a serious issue and then being reprimanded. That's exactly what happened to this digital marketing specialist when they resolved a critical issue (that the company didn't even realize existed.) Their unqualified new boss took it as insubordination and a challenge to their position and questioned the changes they had made. This was despite the changes showing obvious results. 

This story was posted to r/MaliciousCompliance by the digital marketing specialist, u/ernestomarord.

They shared the story and explained that the new boss's "micromanagement style" and criticism of their "critical thinking skills" eventually led them to a breaking point and caused them to leave the company. They are certain that the boss, who has no idea what they are doing, will fail without them there.

Oh, and before they left, they changed back the key changes that were being called into question. 

Read on for the full story and reactions below.
