Employee Gets Verbally Jumped By Company Grump, Responds With Malicious Compliance And Gets Grump Quietly Fired Within Hours work
No, not this time. And no, not what you’re thinking. As you might have guessed, we have hadabout new bosses coming into power and doing their thing—the thing that’s contrary to other things—only to get fired one way or another.
This time around it’s not even a boss. Nor did they come into power, but they thought they had some power. Or at the very least an attitude and position that entitled them to power.A Redditor recently exemplified how 50 years of working in a company does not magically give you power over anything if you haven’t been assigned a job or responsibility that would entitle you to that power. And all it took was some malicious compliance to slap them in the face with a reality check.They never learn, do they? No, not the managers this time, but employees. The message stays the same, though—don’t mess with people at work…Reddit user u/ProjectGnova recently took to r/MaliciousCompliance to tell a tale of how they dealt with a long-time employee by simply following his one, very simple order that was, in hindsight, probably just his anger talking. …or they’ll get maliciously complied with, leading to a premature departure from the company, just 7 months away from retirementYou see, OP works at an electronics warehouse, which for the most part is quite uneventful. But, sometimes, the company grump, i.e. an “unsavory Engineer”, decides to go on a corporate crusade. Said grump is known to be belligerent and nearly impossible to work with. The upside is that he only has 7 months left till retirement, so folks put up with his very angry nonsense, or they keep out of his way. That’s what OP’s plan was. Well, at least until they decided to do some inventory work in the warehouse, and the wild coworker appeared “huffing and puffing.” Out of the blue, he started screaming at OP, claiming they had messed up a pallet he was working on. While OP did try to defuse the situation, it didn’t go well as the Engineer only got more red in the face, ready to explode like an uncut tomato in a microwave. The company grump liked to pick verbal fights—doesn’t really matter if it’s baseless, someone touched his pallets and he wanted justiceThe back and forth between the two seemed to go on for a while, with the grump claiming his, while OP insisted on checking the cameras for proof. It all culminated with the grump’s snotty remark about how he’s been there 50 years and nobody tells him what to do . This is where malicious compliance happens. “If you have a f**king problem with how I act, bring it up to HR or the boss,” said the Engineer and stormed out. And OP knew exactly what to do with this power now bestowed upon them. They didHowever, he picked on the wrong person, who was calm and collected throughout the back-and-forth, and who actually did what he asked, i.e. go to HROne HR visit later, the Engineer was told to go home… and not even twenty minutes later, he’d been made “permanently working from home…” and, the engineer’s credentials were revoked, his remote access to the company network was deactivated, and his duties divided up amongst the remaining employees. He now has to compile a manual of whats and hows of his tasks to pass on to others. I guess he won’t have to worry about lasting another 7 months until retirement? Actually, nobody has to worry about him at this point.One short HR talk later, the company grump flew head first out the door faster than you could say
