'I forgot to grab it rushing over here': Student IT worker forced by Karen to retrieve badge, cue malicious compliance

This worker rushes across campus for an IT emergency, only to have to journey all the way back because of a silly name badge.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/sawser, who detailed how an abrasive Karen (the head of the university's media center) made him follow this useless policy despite the so-called emergency at hand. Following rules and policies in tech jobs is obviously important when it comes to security and privacy. But this scenario was different. This was a Karen getting on her high horse and asserting her authority simply because she could. Thankfully, this Redditor wouldn't take it and by the time they returned to the office to retrieve the badge, their shift was over. Bye-bye, Karen! Good luck solving the problem yourself!
