'We are not allowed to leave our room': Teachers get back at Principal through compliance to an authoritative demand

Sometimes, all you need to do to get rid of an authoritative policy is follow it—to the letter and as infuriatingly often as possible.

One of the teachers, Redditor u/Middle_Pound_822, shared their story on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, drawing support and commendation from readers. Commenters voiced their appreciation for the way the teachers handled the situation via their malicious compliance.
