'I don't want suggestions or help unless I specifically ask': Employee gets awful boss fired by exposing her incompetance

This boss was very specific with her words, so one of her employees followed them to a T. 

Some managers get a superiority complex the moment they're promoted. They feel that they're above their employees, and will spend a lot of time trying to remind them of that. No matter that their employees might be just as bright as them, or that they might just have different ideas that the boss might never have thought of. This type of boss thinks first and foremost about putting their employees down, like this boss who loved to say things that were "embarrassing and demeaning" to her subordinates. 

This boss had to find out the hard way that her strict instructions were backfiring. Commenters didn't blame the employee, u/RumBunBun, for their tactics, either. Their boss clearly didn't respect their intelligence, so why go the extra mile to help her out? This person didn't mince words about the boss's shortcomings either, writing that she was the "laziest, snarkiest person I've ever worked around." Don't hold back! It's a perfect example of malicious compliance, so keep scrolling to read the full story.
