I think this employee was very clever about how he pulled this off. Obviously, I don’t think the tactic is bulletproof, but it definitely worked for him. I also loved the figurine’s involvement and how, years later, it turned out to be a treasure for other reasons.

Man employs a very peculiar tactic involving a figurine to get both a raise and a bigger commission at work: ‘So for the next week and a half I randomly started removing things from my desk area (very whimsical) and finally that item’

I admit it: I have a complex relationship with ChatGPT, and by complex, I mean I use it to think through pretty much most of my decisions. I’m a writer, so I’m used to developing ideas through text in a couple of languages. I also write short stories, and every day I write in my diary; still, today, I asked ChatGPT for help with writing a WhatsApp message.

Employee starts prompting his boss as if she were an AI chatbot to get the responses he desires and it works: 'I try different prompts in my chat to see which wording of a question will give the affirming answer I want. I then bring up my decision to her'

Personally, if I were put in this situation, I wouldn't know what to do. What this employee did was far from perfect, but it was an honest mistake. Not everyone can plot the most perfect act of malicious compliance every time they're wronged, although I wish things worked that way.

Employee trains a very young colleague that then bosses him around: 'He had the audacity to try to yell at me and say, I will cut the files if they are correct. You need to do your job and make sure that I have the right measurements. I lost it'
