'500 reasons to never mess with a programmer's dedication to pettiness': Employees overwhelms toxic management with paperwork in a valiant act of malicious compliance
You know, sometimes efficiency is underrated and/or misunderstood by a toxic boss and you just have to do something to remind them how helpful it is for everyone. Why does toxic management underrate efficiency? Who knows?! It's most likely just a power move because they're toxic and narcissistic and think that there has to be a pecking order everywhere they work and they have to tell you what to do even if it's a dumb thing to do…
That seems to happen often in the workplace, unfortunately. Thank god for malicious compliance. One programmer shared a story of when he used to work for a large company and he and his coworkers had developed a very efficient way of doing their paperwork. However, the toxic manager came in and screamed at them all, like they do, and told them they had to write individual forms for each product. Well, they had a product that included 1149 CDs, so the employees did what they were told, and individually wrote a form out for each CD.
The boss never asked them to do this again…
