'It was the sweetest revenge I had ever seen': Sandwich shop employee quits on the spot, delivers uniform back to manager with "no excuses"

At some jobs, there is no winning solution to the boss's problems. It's often an issue that management has, then insists on passing down to their workers. This malicious compliance story is a great example of that dynamic. 

This person shared that as a college student, they needed a new gig, and found one with a manager who was "one of the biggest Karens you have ever met." Off to a great start! As a new employee, this person was swamped. While Karen was changing the procedures, it meant that this worker now had to stay hours past closing time. 

Clearly, the Karen manager was given a bunch of tasks to complete at closing time, but she wasn't given enough employees to make it happen. It puts a lot of pressure on an employee when they're told to close the store by 8:30, with no exceptions. They'll find themself staring at a crazy messy kitchen, and they know that if they leave it that messy, they'll anger the openers. Plus, you can't just leave things like sandwich scraps overnight. The only positive aspect of that will be all of the happy roaches and mice who will have a delectable meal overnight. No, trying to close a restaurant by yourself while under pressure to clock out at a certain time is frustrating. At least this person got back at their irritating manager!

Next up, this neighbor wouldn't stop tattling to the HOA… all because she could see her neighbor's boat from her yard.
