Manteinance employee maliciously complies with his manager’s new rule and in an unexpected turn of events, his manager loves it: ‘As you can tell from the title, this did not go how I was expecting’ – FAIL Blog

Not the coworkers hating him! It makes me so sad. I think he was too quick to determine that his malicious compliance backfired, because with enough time, the workflow can become so choppy that the manager has to reevaluate his pretensions. I can’t help but blindly believe in the power of malicious compliance, though I never had the intelligence to come up with it in my own life. I think I just found out I’m a people pleaser at heart. I saw a short film today about ‘People Pleasers Anonymous’, it was supposed to be a comedy, but it hit a little too close to home. I would’ve done what this employee did without the maliciousness. I think it’s about time that I become a little more EVIL! lol
