'Boss blames me for her forgetfulness': Healthcare worker calls out manager for never solving tech issues in front of entire team as payback

There is nothing worse at work than having to bother your manager every day to do a simple task that would make things exponentially easier. The lack of action can say a lot about the kind of manager you have. First, he could be intentionally making things difficult for you and playing mind games. That's the cynical take, but it's not an impossibility. Next, there's the slightly more generous take, which is that your manager is not the brightest bulb. Yes, that's the kinder interpretation of their inaction. Finally, there's a strong likelihood that your manager simply does not think or consider your experience, meaning that they're not good at their job. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/beebabeedabee, a traveling healthcare worker whose manager seems to refuse to solve their technological issues. After embarrassing the Redditor in front of the entire team, they decided to maliciously comply with their manager's instructions and to let them know every single day about these issues until they were resolved. The best part is that they would remind their manager in front of other coworkers to further embarrass them.
