'He never believed anyone who called in sick': Supermarket employee enacts malicious compliance on boss who insisted he needed a doctor's note

A manager who makes exceptions only for his friends sounds like bad news. That's how u/kathjoy was treated by their boss Steve in a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance.

This OP shared that they worked at a supermarket and came down with a terrible flu. It makes no sense to go to work when you're ill. At best, you'll get five minutes of work done and spend the rest of the day drinking tea and trying not to fall asleep. At worst, you spread it to the rest of the office. By the next week, everyone will have come down with the same thing you had. Instead, all that could be avoided by allowing workers to simply take time off to heal when they're sick. It seems so common-sensical, but some managers only care about the bottom line and telling people beneath them what to do.

Next up, this person didn't want to work with her colleague anymore, so she told their boss that she shouldn't get the position.
