Once a company or really any organization grows to a certain size, the folks in charge can get so disconnected from how things actually work that their input is, at best, useless. However, sometimes managers pass such poorly thought out rules that they manage to produce disasters of their own making.
A netizen shared their story of malicious compliance when their boss passed a “no phones at work” rule without thinking of the consequences. So when servers went down, suddenly a minor problem became a larger mess. We reached out to the IT worker who posted the story via private message and will update the article when they get back to us.
