This episode features several tales of malicious compliance where employees follow poor directives to the letter. You'll hear from a remote worker who stops working entirely after their manager repeatedly blocks their tasks, leaving them with paid time off. Another story involves a retail worker who takes a sarcastic challenge seriously, calling the Fire Department on their own store to address serious safety hazards. The episode also includes quick hits showing how strictly following company rules on help desk support and scheduled breaks can quickly reveal and break broken policies.
