'Game on': Spunky employee maliciously complies with his manager's strict 'collared shirt' dress code by filling his closet with hideous tropical shirts

Although some fashionable folks cherish their clothing choices every morning, there are others who value comfort over all else, believing that dress codes are reserved for weddings, private high schools, and the opera house. The flip-flop and shorts crowd might even consider the suit-wearing types to be a bit stuck up, forcing their arbitrary dress code requirements on the casual masses in the workplace. Sure, we understand that you want to make a good impression on your colleagues, but at what point does a dress code infringe on personal expression and comfort? 

When u/BuddhaMcDonald was faced with a surprise dress code enforcement in his office, he decided to take his strict manager's suggestions quite literally. After seeing a coworker get sent home because of his 'inappropriately casual attire', OP was extremely frustrated. On his way home from work that day, he got the brilliant idea to achieve exactly the professional standard that his suited-up, button-down, collared-shirt manager wanted. Scroll for the full tale of malicious compliance that took form in the tackiest, brightest, and most in-you-face expression. Next up, here's another work story of a spitfire employee who stuck it to their boss after he asked her to 'smile more' in their weekly Zoom calls. Yuck.
