Toxic CEO enforces dress code policy, employee maliciously complies: 'He strongly recommends [...] not wearing those shirts anymore'

There always seems to be something that the toxic bosses of the world feel the need to enforce. if it's not showing up to work early enough, then it's leaving work too early despite fulfilling your responsibilities. If it's not which days you come into the office, it's your attitude and morale when you do show up in person. And if it's not the things you say in the office, it's the clothes you elect to wear.

This CEO already caused drama when he started requiring employees to return to the office full-time despite the fact that it wasn't a necessity for the business to thrive. That meant that the executives at the company would share a floor with the IT department, which led to a clash in dress code and style between the two groups. Naturally, this led to most employees in the IT department complying with their CEO's wishes and wearing more formal business attire, except for one employee who could only comply maliciously. He shared his side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit.
