'I am forbidden from driving my truck even a few feet': Salesman lets truck get pummeled by hail in order to follow boss's strict rules

At this company, there is zero room for error when it comes to driving the company trucks. Employees can never use the trucks for personal use, so if they don't like it, there's the door. This salesman clearly values his job, so he followed the rules to a T. 

Some companies are extremely strict with their property. Whether they're monitoring every keystroke you type into your computer, or keeping an eagle eye on the company van's GPS, it can put every employee on edge. Businesses like this almost want their employees to fail — with super strict rules like this, they insist there's no room for human error. 

This worker wrote in to r/MaliciousCompliance with their own proud accomplishment. The rules at their sales job were super strict. The company somehow trusted the OP to drive the company pickup truck, but the boss loved to monitor the OP at all times. However, the OP complied so well that the boss had to change the rules to prevent it from ever happening again. Check out the entire story below, plus comments from people who had their own MC stories. 

After that, this person's boss is beyond technologically inept — their employee reports that he "routinely attempts to fax me when I have no fax machine."
