Alison Green, through her site Ask a Manager, explores modern workplace dynamics and common issues faced by employees under poor management. She notes that many managers prioritize control and appearances over effective results, irritating employees who often know better ways to perform tasks. In response, some workers practice 'malicious compliance,' strictly adhering to ridiculous directives, which can humorously highlight their absurdity. This tactic not only draws attention to the flaws in management reasoning but can also result in significant changes to outdated workplace practices.
Sometimes managers are more focused on control or appearances than actual results, leading to frustration among employees who are aware of more efficient methods.
Employees have employed 'malicious compliance' to expose absurd requests from their managers, sometimes leading to the reversal of unreasonable directives.
