This development team got away with something that would probably get most people fired in an instant. Not only that, but they were able to update the r/MaliciousCompliance community on how everything went down the next day.
Bosses are always trying to optimize their workers' outputs. They want to seem like their team is strong and is working harder than ever. But how should a manager prove to their own bosses what their team is up to? They could just talk to their employees and be involved in their day-to-day activities, putting them front and center of where all the work is being completed. They could work up some KPIs so the employees know what goals they're working towards. But no, that's way too much work for some higher-ups. Instead, they could take the easiest route possible---instating mandatory daily logs.
There's no boss in the world who will read through every employee's tedious accounts of what they do each day. That seems way harder than just checking in with your people. I imagine these bosses learned a lesson about putting their faith in their employees… but only after the development team had finished their dramatic stunt.
After you check out this tale, take a look at these mildly infuriating moments, like one person who apparently got the world's most hazardous milkshake.
