'Malicious compliance... was easy for me. I just stopped talking': Team of scientists falls into disaray after one scientist refuses to speak following feedback from their boss
This person's boss had some feedback for them, but it was so vague that the employee was left baffled.
Most employees have quarterly or yearly check-ins with their supervisors. It's a good way to manage expectations and address any concerning employee behavior before it becomes a major problem. This person worked on a team of scientists who seem to have some communication issues all around. This employee's boss tried to warn them that they were coming off as "contemptuous" when they spoke to the others on their team. With such an accusation, you'd think that numerous people on their team had reported them for acting impolitely. However, the boss had zero feedback on how the employee could improve… That's why they say people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses. Why would you want to work for a boss who has literally no feedback for you on how to improve yourself?
This person didn't leave their company right away, but they did stop talking for quite a while. That's a recipe for disaster, and it's exactly the opposite of good communication. You can check out u/interpidshe's story below to read the whole debacle for yourself.
Up next, this hotel front desk worker had the perfect solution for dealing with an impolite guest: turning him away before he could even complete his check-in.
