Jerk Boss Fires the Only Worker Who Can Operate Special Machine to Cover for Dude Who Keeps Breaking It
Do you ever think about all the infrastructure that holds society together and wonder what Big Industry looks like behind the scenes? Turns out every trade has its idiots who somehow got to run the show and hire their idiot friends and relatives to do dangerous and critical jobs. According to one redditor's lengthy (and captivating) tale of malicious compliance, the energy sector is no exception. I don't know who needs to hear this, but you probably shouldn't fire the only person who knows how to operate a special machine critical to the functioning of the business as a whole just to save the dumbass who keeps breaking said machine.

"Well honestly, for me it was a bit annoyance now and then, but since I realized very early on what that company was like, I never put my heart into that job, so honestly, the biggest annoyance overall was the commute" replied OP.

"Yeah it was really quite a long story, I enjoy writing a lot and tend to get caried [sic] away. Also I believe, that to understand it all, you need some background knowlege, [sic] and that takes quite a bit to explain...As for your assumption, lets say we had a blue and white Logo" replied OP.
"I was going to guess that as well. 20 years ago my friends father worked for a similar company moving completed turbines into their operations space and monitoring their function. Solid union job that he had for decades. He had many stories about QC issues shutting down operations as well! Fucking around with the precision of turbine blades is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of though, wow. I'm not at all surprised that that episode ended up in court. Being out of tolerance can kill lots and lots of people! Great story OP and you did exactly the correct thing." said u/Bomilcar309308BC. -
