'I don't need your input. Just do what I say': New manager flexes his muscles with warehouse temperature policy, employee tries to warn him, malicious compliance ensues

Don't you just love it when the new manager makes things exponentially worse for everyone else? It's a common mistake that these horrible bosses tend to make. They come in and immediately feel like they know a better solution to the current system. Without properly hearing out all the employees' voices, they decide it would be more impressive to flex their muscles and insist that their solution is the proper one. 

Well, time and time again when this happens, the new manager stumbles. Either the policy simply doesn't work or there was a massive oversight that could have been easily avoided if folks at the ground level were given any real voice or authority in the matter. Here, we have a new warehouse manager whose idea to help maintain a cooler temperature in the space backfired almost immediately. Like all these stories, this debacle could have been avoided if the people who actually understand the warehouse environment were listened to before the policy was enforced. 

Keep scrolling below for the fallout. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about an employee who kept a running list of problematic quotes from management.
