Boss Says "No Overtime," Shocked When Worker Complies

If you make a demand and expect people to follow it, don't be surprised when they do. That's the takeaway from this story that was shared to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by this disgruntled worker, Redditor u/Local_admin_user. They shared their story to the popular subreddit to share their boss's hypocritical policy of both forbidding and expecting the workers to work overtime.   

Too many managers set expectations like this, setting the standard for the working relationship to work when it works for the company but not when it benefits the employee's interests. They'll stick to the "rules" hard and fast until it's convenient for them to suddenly ignore their existence. 

Read on for this story of malicious compliance. For more, check out this HR manager who power-tripped on an exiting employee who really didn't want to do their exit interview. The HR manager insisted andposted their story to Malicious Compliance, where readers roasted them.
