In one fell swoop of anger, this boss managed to lose his entire digital marketing department, and had no way to dig himself out. Sometimes bosses forget that their employees are human beings, who actually have the capacity to ruin their day, like this boss who tried to play an employee, or this boss who tried to play Alpha.

    Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/beerbellybegone 4 days ago Boss: Think about whether you want to keep working here. Me: OK. I don't ocL Apologies if the English isn't perfect, it's not my native tongue. Nearly two years ago I started work at Company as their digital marketing person.

    Text - As you can well imagine, after a performance like that, I had lots of work to do, and very little to do it with.
