Malicious Compliance

WELCOME!

My neighbor come to shop at the store. He specifically called for me, as I don’t stay at the front lines of retail but behind, doing other stuff, and jokingly asked, “can I get neighbor discount?”. I said sure, and while he’s in front of me, I call the supervisor at the phone to approve that. Not even ten seconds pass that he’s shouting in my face “can you hurry with that price? I have something else to do!!”.

I apologize if this is too long for this community or if there isn’t enough maliciousness to it. This is a true story that happened to me and I have never really talked about it in detail since it happened. Feel free to skip to the TL;DR at the end.

This is a story from my dad.

I “wrote” a previous post and I largely did it with AI as a experiment, thinking back on it…stupid and I’m sorry so I deleted it. With that being said, I did actually fight AT&T and won. Here’s the story.

My bf has a Minecraft plugin that can generate dungeons

My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don’t really require seeing a doctor.

So it was my first job was a server at a very popular 24 hour breakfast diner/chain. We had lots of colorful customers.

It’s a 3 months long malicious compliance but it was the first time I didn’t cave in front of a bullying team of managers:

In 2000, I wrote a Linux device driver that “decrypted” the output of a certain device, and my company, which hosted open-source projects, agreed to host it.

The managers offices have windows that look out onto the main floor, I’m a training officer and sometime supervisor so although I look in the windows before I go in I’m generally “read in” on anything going on so If the doors closed I dont pay it much mind unless the boss is having a closed door with a staff member.

Not my story, but an adorable ex-coworkers adorable daughters. I witnessed it, though.

I used to work the evening/night shift at a coffee shop chain. That time of night in inherently slow, so we would get saddled with the general upkeep of the equipment. Nothing too high tech, just simple disassemble, clean, re-assemble (coffee grounds get into EVERYTHING). I took a shining to the task because I’m fairly handy and it would get me way from customers for decent chunks of time. So, I became the unofficial guy to do it, which was fine by me. I took a shift and read through all the corporate approved maintenance manuals, which had step by step guides on how to do anything and everything that would be required of a barista to do. I would also work with them out in front of me to reference.

From mashable r/pics has been “forced” to transition to NSFW by “following the policy”.

I’m in property management, specifically maintenance (I know landlords bad but I don’t own the property; just my job). I got a letter from the city informing me of a violation because they couldn’t inspect a vacant apartment. See, they scheduled a property wide inspection for the whole property awhile ago and they couldn’t get into this apartment. Two weeks later I get this letter that we’re in “violation” and don’t rent the apartment until they can inspect. Well, the paperwork arrived late (their fault) and the apartment is already re-rented. So we could potentially be fined because that makes so much sense. Sorry for the longish backstory. I’m now going to send the inspector, and everyone in the department including the director, an email whenever we get a vacancy at any of our properties. Probably I can make a program to automate this. We manage 70 complexes, 2000 apartments. Enjoy the emails.
