'This is what you asked for': IT guy drops ~$18,000 on company phones after his technologically illiterate boss bans the largest operating system in the world, learns a lesson in malicious compliance

This IT guy wouldn't stand to be pushed around by his technologically illiterate boss, so instead of attempting to explain his entire department, he let the boss's willynilly actions speak for themselves–to the tune of almost $20k.

CEOs never actually know anything about the products they sell. Half the time, they're just corpo baboons waiting around for their assistants to put together 3 completed business plans so they can proudly toss a dart at a rotating project wheel to select the right course of action for the company. Well, when the Head of the IT department at this company was approached by the boss, his work was immediately questioned. Although it's legitimate for a CEO to tour the facilities of their business, it's not in anyone's best interest for them to be meddling in other people's specialties. This IT guy certainly taught his boss a lesson in malicious compliance after spending a fortune on company phones after his boss outlawed one of the largest computer operating systems in the world. 

And in today's lesson about electronics, a tech-stupid boss learns that phones are also computers.
