'[I] got my entire Chain of Command fired': Bosses demand employee check the same inventory over and over, employee anonymously reports their bosses

Doing the same exact task over and over again is not how most employees want to spend their days. Sure, most jobs involve some form of repetition. But this person's boss kept insisting they do the same exact inventory count over and over indefinitely, so it's no wonder this employee got so fed up. 

This person ended up filling out an anonymous survey where they spilled the beans, and as folks in the comments helpfully noted, please remember that no survey from your workplace is every really anonymous. Even if you believe all the safeguards are in place to hide your identity, in this day and age, there are definitely ways that your bosses could figure out who said what. So be prepared to own up to anything you write on those surveys… you never know what could come back to bite you later on in your career. 

At least this OP didn't get caught, and instead, they made their job a nicer place to be. You can read the entire story below, and the OP also answered people's questions in the comments as well. 

Next, check out another story about a bad boss: this person's boss wanted to chastise them in a one-on-one meeting, but accidentally fired them instead.
