'Within two weeks the electricity was cut off': Boss reminds employee they aren't an office manager, chaos ensues after employee stops managing their office

Work can only push you so far until eventually your patience snaps. This employee, u/HungryAd2461, knows that all too well, as they shared in this wild tale about how they stopped managing an office. 

Being employed by a thankless boss is a tough way to live. Some people don't mind it, but a lot of us would like to have our contributions appreciated. You can be the first one in the office and the last to leave, but if your boss doesn't care, nothing you do will ever change their mind. It's you who has to decide to move on to a new company that will appreciate you and respect your contributions. 

This person had a nightmarish job of working at a very, very tiny law firm. It was actually located inside their boss's mother's home, where the OP had to listen to the secretary and mother gab all day long. Even though this office had a secretary, lots of chores tended to fall to the OP. As a lawyer, the OP was missing out on money this way! Instead of billing clients high rates, the OP was stuck doing household chores, including ultra-important tasks like paying the electric bill. 

Check out this person's satisfying malicious compliance story. Then, check out this update from the person whose boss flooded her with texts and emails during her vacation.
