About this episode
This episode features five tales of malicious compliance where people follow ill-conceived rules or demands to the letter, much to the chagrin of the person who made them. You'll hear about a graphic designer who overwhelms a micromanaging boss by delivering exactly what was asked for, a student who takes the nuclear option on a group project to punish lazy teammates, and an IT worker who crashes the system after a manager insists on disruptive, unscheduled maintenance. Finally, a poorly written company policy on "substances" leads to an office-wide crisis, and a call center supervisor gets more transparency than they bargued for. The stories all highlight how blindly following unreasonable or vague instructions can backfire spectacularly.
