‘Malicious Compliance Mode Activated’ : Employee Fired for Messing With Wrong Coworker After Getting Berated for Not Following Company Safety Guidelines

Do warning signs baffle you? Specifically, the type that read 'Do not stand in, on or around while operating'? It seems like kind of a given. Well, you haven't met my coworkers. Company safety matters should be taken seriously — guidelines are in place for a reason. That reason is usually that it is potentially saving employees from ending up as a pile of mush, buried 6 feet under. If someone had to make a sign, there is usually a reason.

Well, apparently my coworkers are not the only ones in need of a visual reminder. See, there was one certain employee who did not take the advice 'Never EVER under any circumstances climb into a compactor unless it's unhooked from any power sources' — and climbed in anyway. Don't worry, nothing terrible happened. I mean, he got fired, but he is not a pile of mush. That's a win in my book. 

How did he get found out, anyway? Well, another worker got involved when he saw the stupidity for himself, and instead of thanking the dude, the employee went all 'MIND YOUR MANNERS', which led to malicious compliance, which led to… well, have a look for yourself. Scroll down and check out the malicious compliance/petty revenge. For more, you're free to have a rare look at HR standing up for an employee who was (shocker) in the right for not giving out freebies to an entitled Karen of a customer.
