'Think about whether you want to keep working here': Temperamental boss loses it and gives ultimatum, employee maliciously complies
It's not that employees should be careful around bosses with tempers; it should be that bosses with tempers should be careful around their employees. Those who throw tantrums and who have a habit of unfairly threatening employees should not only be fearful that they themselves might get in trouble for their tirades, but also they just might lose those employees forever and not of their own volition. I once had a friend who willingly took a job with a temperamental boss who had a known reputation for getting away with ridiculous workplace behavior. Unfortunately, the friend felt like he would be the exception and would be able to handle it. It turns out he did not last more than six months, but at the very least, he had enough sense to quit and to call his boss out on his nonsense before leaving forever. Who knows whether or not this confrontation got through to the boss's head but at least my friend was able to get it off his chest.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/beerbellybegone, who was essentially hired to run his own marketing team and to clean up the mess of his predecessor. Unfortunately, despite his known success during his employment, his request for a raise was frequently ignored by his employer. On top of that, the one time he made a mistake, his employer threw a giant fit and requested for OP to pack his things and “think about whether [he wanted[ to keep working here.” Well, let's just say his boss set him up well for some much-needed malicious compliance. Keep scrolling for the full story. When you're done, check out this post about this boss who kept cutting an employee's hours.
