'It's been a rough year': Aggressive CEO demands clean office in bizarre r/MaliciousCompliance Reddit post

Having an aggressively abusive boss will make your working life intolerable, and this negativity will likely bleed into your personal life and make that worse as well. Unfortunately, especially in some industries, bad behavior from the bosses is almost an expectation, with egotistical CEOs and owners unleashing wrathful attitudes on workers lest they forget who is in charge.

This user, Redditor u/EAwithOddTasks, shared their story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. While the post didn't do a great job of sharing an act of malicious compliance, it did elicit a significant response from readers who called out the CEO/owner of the tech startup's downright abusive behavior. It's almost alarming how resigned this worker is to the owner's behavior, with users noting an almost "Stockholm Syndrome" like attitude.

I definitely thought that "cleaning out" the office was going to be them quitting their job, but hopefully, they get out of there soon.
