‘You wanted me to do the speech, deal with it’: Professor gets even with Dean after being ordered to make a speech for 150 students

The power struggle between different forces in high school is real… in this case, OP relayed a high school experience that left them in everlasting awe of their mechanography teacher. Whenever an important date approached, all the students would line up in the courtyard, standing still in formation as one of the teachers would do a speech about whatever day it was and the importance of it. Said speeches would amount to maybe 10-15 minutes, which was fair, because keeping 150 teenagers lined up and standing still in formation is no easy feat… never mind you assume they would even be listening to what was being said. OP said that there was one notable omission on the teacher's roster… the mechanography professor. This professor never did a speech, and for some reason, he always got away with it. That is, until one day when the Dean got up on the wrong foot.

The Dean demanded that this professor do the speech, and knowing there was no way out this time, the professor decided to comply. Cue malicious compliance… scroll down to read the events that unfolded. The Dean never asked the professor to do another speech in his life. For more, here is an employee who quit after being denied a raise; his boss ended up paying 40% more for his replacement.
