Blue collar pipe crew laborer gets yelled out for checking the time on his phone, so he gets the gaudiest pocket watch to use at work: ‘Its my favorite and most genius malicious compliance I've committed.'

Sometimes upper management would rather enforce the made up rules than actually get the job done. In fact, we would argue, that according to many of the stories online, most upper managements do exactly this. Why get someone who can do their job well, when you can get someone who looks like they're doing their job well, ya know?

 

Take, for example, this blue collar worker. He was a great employee and did his job well. He worked on an excavation site as a laborer for a pipe crew. One of the rules was to stay off of your cellphones—a pretty normal rule to make sure everyone stays on task. But in this day and age, people also use their phones as a watch. Cause, let's face it, it's rare to find someone wearing a watch these days. And yet, when this employee pulled out his phone to check the time, he was given an unfair talking to. So you know what he did?
