'If I messed up it was on his head': Coworker Bob bosses employee around, cue malicious compliance

We all have a Bob in our lives... you know, that coworker who thinks they're the boss of you? The one who actively lurks waiting for you to mess up or to give you unsolicited feedback or advice. Yup, Bobs are everything and there's truly nothing stopping them. That is unless you stand up to them or engage in some well-deserved malicious compliance.

 

That's what this Redditor did. They posted their story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, and let's just say that Bob's meddling was beyond ridiculous. This whole story serves as a great blueprint for what to absolutely not do to your coworker. If you're ever worried that something is being completed incorrectly, approach them with a sense of camaraderie. Don't approach them with vague threats and demands. Who do you think you are, BOB?!
