Update: Underpaid server forced to deep clean floors by manager? Cue malicious compliance!

Some horrible bosses give you horrible tasks just to be horrible. That certainly was the case for this underpaid 20-year-old restaurant worker who was getting paid a paltry $8/hour. One day, his boss told him to go to the back, deep clean the floors, and to not come to the front of the restaurant under any circumstances until the job was done. Well, that's exactly what this Redditor did.

He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit and refused to take on any subsequent tasks as instructed, much to the chagrin of his employer later on during the shift. However, the Redditor knew his boss couldn't get that mad, not only because those were his instructions, but also because his boss would have a hard time finding a replacement who would agree to this kind of pay and treatment. Keep scrolling below for the full story and be sure to read the Redditor's update at the end of the post. For more, here's another juicy tale of malicious compliance!
