It's just one fail after another, and the whole time they're stirring up a fuss about the very problems that they are proactively causing. At least the malicious compliance aspect of this is on point. Check out another incompetent manager who forbid overtime and then had it backfire terribly.

    Text - Fast forward to Friday night (I normally close Friday and Saturdays) and I get a phone call from manager in training asking where I am.

Again I humbly reminded him that I'm suspended on his orders. At this he stammered for a second then just told me to come in anyway as they have none too cover My shifts.
