Restaurant site supervisor misconceives a manager's effective method of keeping their food service seamless, manager has them removed by the owner: ‘Game on’

The only thing worse than an entitled manager is a manager's entitled manager. Stay with us.

For better or for worse, employees in supervisor positions often find themselves being the picture-perfect leader.

Not all superiors end up being the best of the best, but it's crucial to find one who will take a stand against their bosses when faced with workplace adversity. Not only is their role on the line, but the best interests of their employees are also at risk.

That's why the manager in the story below gives their supervisor a sweet taste of malicious compliance when their site supervisor tries to dictate what goes on at their restaurant. Not all of us can do the heavy lifting, so this manager decides to show their boss just how ridiculous their requests are. If you're not a part of their kitchen, don't try running it—simple.
