Summary

r/Maliciouscompliance In today's episode, OP's factory enacts an incredibly stupid new policy that requires them to lock down dozens of machines to do simple, 10-minute repair jobs. OP warns his boss that this will be a pointlessly expensive procedure, but his boss tells him to just do as he's told. OK, boss, sure thing! OP follows his orders and shuts down half the factory to fix one tiny little part, costing the company $3,500,000. Oops! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
