'You asked for this...': Employee gets caught between upper management and supervisors, leading to clever compliance to end their power trip

Hierarchy is the cornerstone of the business world. There will always be subordinates and superiors in the organization based on seniority and experience. But what would happen if you were caught in the middle of an argument, or perhaps a more accurate description, an ego clash, between two of your managers?

Well, the story below is an account of a dissatisfied store salesperson. OP has worked at a single shop for the past six months. Six months is a century in the retail industry, particularly for a store that is in high demand and experiences a lot of foot traffic all day long. To put things in perspective, OP works as an ordinary salesperson and is overseen by a store manager and shift lead. However, for unknown reasons, OP found himself in the center of a manager-on-manager feud. Things went south, as you may have expected when OP finally made up his mind and deliberately disregarded his supervisor.

So, if you're interested in learning what happened between OP and the upper management, be sure to check out the story below! And when you're done, don't forget to check out the story about the overworked hotel employee who gets even with upper management!
