'Supervisor was suspended': Trucker sticks to company's strict (yet inconsistent) safety protocol, risking a nasty performance review to prove a point to management; wins a weekend of PTO and a new pair of boots

Any time you take a stand against your company, it feels like standing up to the elementary school bully. Sure, maybe they had a growth spurt before everybody else, but that doesn't make them the boss of me! However, in the adult world, things are a lot more complicated and it's not as simple as telling the bully that you're going to give them a wedgie in front of the whole class. In fact, if you could get away with blatant schoolyard hierarchy, we'd probably have a lot more rebellion on our hands in the workplace. No, no, in this case, one man was a little more tactful than that.

u/Two-Faced-Hoods was a trucker for a large shipping company and admittedly worked as efficiently as possible, even if that meant cutting some corners. In fact, the entire workforce for OP's company was equally as 'efficient' and found themselves lapsing a little on safety protocols in order to reach company goals. Well, after management started randomly bringing in employees for questioning and a performance review, OP decided to sprinkle a touch of malicious compliance into the mix. By doing exactly what management asked, OP got the best revenge against his sandbox-bully by being smart, being tactical, and being incredibly patient.

Scroll down for the full tale of how this trucker used his crafty wiles to earn himself a weekend of PTO, a new pair of work boots, and a supervisor that no longer had power over him and his guys.

Little did the boss know, the entire company has been working off of software that the employee created, so he took it with him on the way out.
