My entitled manager is constantly micromanaging everything that I do, demanding that I stop fixing

and repairing our equipment despite the fact that it would take weeks for us to get it repaired.

So I decided to maliciously comply and as a result I cost them thousands of dollars in the process,

resulting in this manager eventually getting fired. Here's what happened.

So I worked for a convenience store for a good while. I had worked up the ladder to become a manager

and I was liked by the customers and employees. I was the one vendors loved because I didn't leave

them a super tight leash. All in all, I believed I was a very good manager and some of my old employees

and customers want me back after I quit. Now you may be wondering, if it was going so well,

why would I have left? Well, it's the same reason many people quit. Bad corporate bosses. See,

I didn't just deal with people. I was dealing with bad equipment that needed to be fixed regularly.

It would cut into the stores budget and I used that money for employee parties or cash rewards

besides the employee of the month. I saw the issue and I took action. I would fix the issues myself.

I have many certifications to fix many different things. So I decided rather than to wait for

maintenance to come around four days after the issue was brought up or having to wait an additional

two to three days just for them to fix it, I decided I would fix it instead. We're talking

issues from as simple as a card reader error to the whole system being down. Mechanical fixes to

equipment that varied widely as many things were well passed their prime. If I couldn't fix it,

then it needed to be replaced. That's basically what it came down to. My regional manager knew my

skills as to the owner. They were working to get me on their maintenance crew. That is up until

the buyout. The owner had gotten to the point in life that he wanted to spend it quietly with his

family. The new company stepped in and this is when things took a turn. There is a guy who stood

above the regional management. He came in every so often to check in on the stores in the area.
