Sometimes, someone just has it out for you for some reason… and there isn't much you can do about it. Realizing that not everyone you meet is going to like you is a tough but important pill to swallow, but the sooner you learn to accept that, the less energy, stress, and time you'll spend trying to win that person over, and you will be able to move on with your life. It's a little harder to do this when that person is your boss, but the same principle applies. All you can do is pack up, find a new job, and make your life easier for yourself… exactly as this employee has done.

This thread was posted to r/MaliciousCompliance by the employee, Redditor u/asianclooney. They posted their story to the popular subreddit because the story concludes with their "malicious compliance" of "thinking about it" and deciding to quit on the spot. It may not be the greatest example of malicious compliance, but the story itself was solid, so we felt it was worth sharing.

Next, check out this boss who texted a worker a few days after firing them to ask them to cover shifts.
