Hierarchy is the cornerstone of corporate business. Because of this, it is very likely that when the time comes and a new management enters the picture, she or he will want to completely revamp the scene in an attempt to assert their authority.

The story that follows recounts the story of a clever employee. The Original Poster (OP) and his former manager had an unspoken understanding that allowed OP to arrive early and depart early. Basically, as long as he completes his work and puts in the necessary number of hours, it is of no significance when he leaves. However, with the arrival of the new manager, she felt obliged to reprimand OP for his supposed 'tardiness', to which OP replied that had simply been following the previous instructions.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning how OP maliciously complies with his manager's demands! When you're done, don't forget to read the story of the underappreciated retail worker who was written up for attempting to prevent a robbery!
