'Mass malicious compliance': New HR manager stops employees from their morning routines, entire office stops working extra hours

The new HR person at this company had a funny idea for getting people into the office on time. 

This worker, u/KiKi_BTW, shared that when they worked at an otherwise "awesome company," a new HR person interrupted the flow of things. A lot of the workers would bike to the job each day. It can be a great way to commute: you get your daily exercise in, save money on gas, and it's good for the environment, too. But adults get pretty sweaty when they work out, and a lot of offices accommodate this by providing showers. 

That's why this HR person's plan was so confusing. She wanted everyone to be seated at their desks by 9 AM on the dot. Did she not want the employees to shower after arriving at the office? Did she think a bunch of sweaty, stinky employees feeling awkward about their BO would boost morale? Chalk it up to trial and error! At least this HR person didn't stay at the company for long, and the employees could get back to their normal routines. 

After that, read about the teenager who got back at their dad by stacking a pile of wood in the funniest possible way, meaning that their dad had to "re-stack half the woodpile."
