r/MaliciousCompliance - I Teamed Up With HR To DESTROY The New Manager!

Four different acts of malicious compliance underscore what happens when authority figures make poorly considered demands. Across these stories, employees and customers alike challenge ill-informed instructions, whether by weaponizing labor laws against a new IT manager's rigid work schedule or by using a "null encryption" scheme to literally wipe a scam company's payment data. Other cases involve a manager getting locked out of the system he demanded to be "secured" and a customer meticulously proving the lowball offer from an insurance company was unfair. Ultimately, these tales serve as a warning about the unintended consequences of issuing a mandate without first understanding the full ramifications.
