'Completing a night's work... was arrogant? Ok, fine': Railroad boss demands employee "play nice" by agreeing to nonsensical plan, employee decides to underperform

Imagine being the person who's the first into the office and last out, yet your boss still isn't happy with your work. That's the rather irritating situation that u/Disastrous-Glove4889 found themself in at their railroad job. They were there to work on a project installing new lightbulbs into train signals, updating them from halogen bulbs to LEDs. Unfortunately, they were working with the boss from h-e-double hockey sticks who was apparently "universally hated."

With a reputation like that, what else do you even need to know? If the reputation preceding your boss is one where coworkers tell you in hushed tones how terrible they always are, it's a good sign to head to your next gig. It seems like there's at least one person like this at any given company, since for whatever reason, these people seem to thrive in business environments.

You can check out this worker's full story down below. Next, speaking of bad bosses, this person wasted two full days thanks to some unhelpful instructions, saying, "That would require Mr. Micro-Management to do some actual work."
