Worker Teaches New Manager a Lesson by Doing Things His Way, Boss Miraculously Admits He Was Wrong

Many big companies have specific workflow rules that are usually crafted by people so high up the corporate ladder, that they actually have little knowledge about day to day operations at the base level and end up making life for workers much harder. Managers are chosen to enforce these inefficient rules, which is probably why a lot of staffs end up hating their direct bosses. One redditor shared the story of their experience with a new manager who wanted things done by the corporate rules. OP maliciously complied and their boss (miraculously) learned a valuable lesson.

“I knew my job but the new manager thought he knew better so I did it his way. Very precisely.” Posted by u/AdElectrical5354

Redditors in the comments were pleasantly surprised by the fact that OP's boss seemed to have taken the lesson to heart.

“Showing a capacity to learn and improve from the experience is a sign they may actually be one of the good ones.” said u/yParticle.

“Good manager. He gets a cookie.” said u/cultured_banana_slug.

“I used to train people at my job. There was the official workplace way and the ‘Ash Way.’ I’d train them my way, but would tell them the work way just so they’d know about it.” said u/ashkebane.

“He was a good guy and you’re right, he became someone that I knew had my back.” said OP.

“I love hearing outcomes like this!” said u/InformedConservative.

“A succinct Tl;dr version!!!” said OP.
