r/Maliciouscompliance How I Destroyed My Boss's Terrible Business 

Messing with the tech guys is never smart, messing with the tech guys when your company literally has no product without them? Whole new level of stupid.

Remember kids, if your boss is asking you to work while cutting your salary/hours in half or ask you to stop logging in overtime, they’re not worth working for and you need to run.

Idk why but the funniest part to me is putting myself in the new guys shoes being excited about my new job and sitting down to read my first company email and it’s this saga about how terrible my new boss is and then he shoves me away from my desk to delete it. I would pack up my things at that moment too. Nope!

when r/maliciouscompliance magically transforms into r/nuclearrevenge (or at the very least r/prorevenge)

One thing I’m intrigued about is whether big bro and Eddie had plans to jump ship before OP told them he was leaving, or if leaving was what inspired them to go full time. Cause if it is the first one it really sounds like they were planning on ditching OP with the fallout

I have had exactly 1 coding course and hearing that this dude didn't even have notes in the code made ME do a double take

That last line...isn't the main point of incorporating an LLC that it shields you from personal liability? Sounds like they cheaped out on a lawyer as well

“Don’t you like the taste of your coffee while watching Rsla-“. YES

I'm honestly a bit surprised you didn't reach out to OP at the end of your video if he still has that letter about why Chad is such a bad boss.

(Me listens to r slash 10 hours) Im fine. (Me listens to teacher for 5 seconds) I have expeirienced hell

Day six of telling him he's making everyone day better

Hard to pay attention to my zoom meeting when watching this

Horrific code and not a single comment Me: "Well...that's not good..." with internal crying.

OP: *gets his pay cut from his poop head boss* OP: *so you have chosen, death?*

The fact that Chad smashed a hole in the wall in reaction to his own screw-up, and left, makes me wonder if there were hidden cameras, and that it wall was some fake reality TV show.

Why do bosses think stuff just magically happens...there are steps you have to take...stuff just doesnt happen...😒

Day 3 of rSlash remembering the Publish button

Besides being a great story, this is also a great example of why if you start your own business, you should form an LLC!

Don't screw with the employee that has been carrying your small company's big project for months

Funny that I was thinking of a Long maliciouscompliace story when I started watching this and it was. Dear lord that boss had it coming.

Everyone on my Twitter keeps talking about bitcoins and how much money they have been able to make on bitcoin investments, but I keep asking how I can make money on bitcoins but no one seems to respond to me, can anyone here direct me on how I can begin making profits on bitcoins?

:/. I wasn’t able to click on time now I’m 7 minutes late to the video

The most hilarious part to me about the last story is when Chad had OP’s machine re-imaged. It didn’t occur to him for a second that he could be erasing critical data, vital to whether the company lives or dies.

I think I would rather be homeless than work with someone like that Chad and Richard

It’s always “that’s not my problem”

When they said that the computer they were working on didn't have any access to the internet, I was beginning to wonder if they had any backup protocols. So when Chad returned and wanted to do something to OP's computer, my first thought was "Did he just nuke the entire project?"

I literally don’t get why people downvote yugo’s owners videos like what

I didn't even realize how new this video was, but heya Rslash, all I'm saying, thank you tons for being here for us.

I can't even tell you how often I'm listening to your videos Me: *commuting to school* Rslash Me: *washing the dishes* Rslash Me: *slaughtering zombies in video games* Rslash Me: *trying to cook and failing* Rslash

I work in healthcare and i listen to your podcasts before work and after work to unwind and get rid of anxiety thanks man!

Why don’t bosses realize how crucial Tech guys/gals/pals are?? My dad works tech (he’s REALLY smart) and the amount of times he’s saved stress or chaos with “did you do (insert duh thing I didn’t do)” and the usual “oh my gosh, I’m dumb” from me is monumental. Tech people are awesome and not treating them like the overlords of your company/computer is just dumb (and/or setting yourself up for Malicious Compliance). It’s gonna be revolutionary when companies and jerky bosses find this out too.

The story seems vaguely familiar. At that time I was a mobile tech doing maintenance and repairs on computers/printers/document scanners/and more. I do remember a few smaller companies in Woodland Hills that would fit the description of the story. Was even asked at a couple of them if I was a software engineer. Maybe I crossed paths with that company? If I knew the company name I could compare it to my old work orders hehe.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway.

Yep, I left my last job because I couldn't afford to live. My boss cut my hours to just 3 hours a week... without telling me. He posted it on the schedule, but I never read the schedule since my name had never been on it before due to previously having the same hours every week. My work morale had already been falling for a while for various reasons. The manager was going through some personal issues and taking it out on me.

first story: dude made his own mess and isn’t telling the full story. he couldn’t find a real job because he screwed up in high school and chose a fraud school that saddled him with debt. he is no angel, he’s not telling everything and manipulating things for himself the key thing that makes it fake: getting a job offer just as he reactivates his job hunter profiles…there’s no way in hell that timeframe he’s getting a jib in that field with no degree and barely any experience.

On a completely off topic, the person who created double un-skippable ads deserves their own ring of Hell.

they got what they deserved, lesson learned, dont be a crappy boss, and dont cut pay after you already are disliked. i hope at least big bro, OP, eddie, and new guy are at a good job after they escaped that hellhole.

Whoa... a textbook narcissist meltdown, documented in excruciating detail. This should be archived for posterity!

I love listening to this while doing school work!

Lol that last line was amazing. Straight incompetence literally from the start.

Something I find it amazing is the sheer number of stories (legend, folklore, fairytale, and Reddit) where the moral can be summed up as “Don’t be an ass/jerk”. AND YET SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE FAILED TO INTERNALIZE THIS MESSAGE!!! It’s a little funny, a bit frustrating, and if you think about it too much, very sad.

He didn't even have to sabotage his work, the "boss" destroyed it all themselves by wiping the computer. So smart...

For every like a person is being compliant maliciously

The one and only rule of any job is: never piss off IT! I bring our IT staff cookies, lunch, beer on Fridays to stay on their good side!! If they ever asked me to grovel to have any of my equipment fixed, I wouldn’t hesitate!!!

First one: Well... he says having the code on a computer with no internet access is pure paranoia, but that is actually a normal security tactic... though everyone having an extra computer to do this is a little overboard. Cyber Attacks are continually on the rise and becoming more and more sophisticated as time goes on. In IT security it is usually not "how to stop cyber attacks," though that is still important and you try your best, but "how to mitigate the damage caused by one," because one getting through is inevitable (and more than likely, more than one get's through). That just shows how bad it is right now.

👀 A four year old car with 200,000 miles underneath its wheels? I hope it came with a full and complete service history.

this is pure gold

I have been waking up at 4:00 a lot and I am always happy when you finally upload, I have a steady schedule but people keep waking me up

The Story: OP good for him best wishes, but the tears-n-violins story of how it was hard to find a job, car payments, loans, job offer was a long commute (very common) to-n-from your place, etc., well that is what tens of millions of people have done before, are doing and will do until the end of time.

As an engineer you are not obligated to a schedule that you had no input to or which is done by someone competent. I spent years as a test manager and always worked on the schedule. I never worked off a schedule dictated to me. NEVER. Thats why we ended up finishing 30 days ahead of schedule and $400K under budget for a major upgrade on a DOD contract. As a salaried employee, they dont own you. You can challenge their schedule. You just have to be willing to tell them WHY their schedule wont work and walk from the job if they don’t listen. No reason to kill yourself for someone else’s profits.

5:26 Ah, yes. The one downside of living in a place where the average temperature is around 20 if February. If your AC is down, then you’re gonna get cooked alive. Trust me, I know the feeling well.

If they were nicer bosses and more responsible, they probably would still have their company and all their employees.

Still waiting for when I see “r/nuclearrevenge How I destroyed a bad dictator’s entire regime” that’ll be a good episode if it ever happens

Never ever, *ever* treat your employees like they are feces. People don't quit jobs, they quit employers. Treat people like valuable resources and they'll make you lots and lots of money. Treat them like garbage and you'll be lucky to get one week's notice.

Ah yes my daily dose of rSlash.

Remember, kings, queens, and other royalty: don't mess with the IT guy

Why entitled bosses doesn't realize a company is a side ways relation. The company depends on the employes much like the employes depends on the company. If you piss off the employes the company will go down no matter what the boss tries.

The personally liable part is even more hilarious to me, shows they couldn't even set up a company right!

I suspect Chad was an amateur programmer who managed to cobble together a glitzy demo that kinda worked if you knew what to avoid, hence it was "not scalable" and the version OP was to write would intentionally be the first real version.

I feel like I’ve heard 100 companies destroyed

The reason why people think they can push techies around is they think we're replaceable. Not all techies are created equal. Side note: San Pedro is pronounced San Pee-dro in LA (there are lots of anglicized versions of names of things that originated from Spanish).

am I the only one that was super SUS about big bro till the end? He didn't stand up for OP but yet praised and hype OP outside so much and he still carried on working for the shitty company although he left his previous one on good term EVEN after OP left and it seems like his previous company would take him back easy if he so asked. Things don't add up

In the dev world, we rarely have issues with people leaving their jobs for something better, especially better for them. Sure, we'll take a hit as a team, but we all know it's the employer's fault at the end of the day.

Man I respect the grind from OP, college dropouts have it really tough. I sometimes wonder if university loans being handed out so flippantly are just a tax on the uncertain. (Like how people say the lottery is a tax on the poor/gullible) People will often drop out because they assumed college was necessity and not just one option for their future. Something tells me if OP enlisted and got a job as a tech, or learned at a trade school, or just went into the market self taught, he would have been just fine.

Great video that I watched all of in a minute!

if you depend on such ridiculous deadlines (4 months for a software is ... ambitious if it does anything interesting) and on your 3 devs ... you don't cut their pay. As a CFO (or CEO) you take your own money to pay your people and ensure the business manages to get to release

Canada may not have many workers rights, but one we do have is a right to salary. You cannot have income taken away from you for any reason, only things like bonuses. If I get a promotion, and then get demoted, I keep the new higher wage regardless. Circle K fired me years ago because they wouldn't pay me my current wages after demotion for missed time, I had kidney stones. My unemployment hit their insurance HARD. Wrongful termination. They basically paid me 1200$ a month for a full YEAR. I took that time to travel.

Even the queen watches their daily rslash

Best start to a morning

Plenty of times in the past I have worked for real morons in the management team, they don't even know the product or service, yet treat people that hold the company together like serfs,

That last story sounds like your average Kickstarter startup.

That last story with those lazy brothers, God, what a bunch of idiots. Are you sure their names weren’t Kevin and Karen?

When you're so early there are more likes than views

Listen to stories like these really just adds years on to my lifespan.

Is it even legal to cut someone's salary in half like that?

Nothing better than listening rslash while cooking

The story about the tech company was a bit of r/prorevenge! Never mess with tech employees or else they will ruin your life!

Your readings never fail to make me chuckle!

Lol I would have just said Chad I have something you tell you and then played that song "Take This Job and Shove It" to him 😂

When we hear you say "san-PAY-droh,” “we know they're not a local,” The correct pronunciation is San-PEE-dro. Thank you for all the amazing content.

14:45 Lmao. Some people should just know when to quit. Chad royally screwed the both of them in every single way.

I would be so mad if my colleague left me for dead whilst my boss was harassing me about a project/job that I'm not the sole worker of....

YOU CANT KILL SUCTION CUP MAN, LOOK AT ME GO

Dang that one story took the full video but it was worth it

I have reread this story a few time, um, I did not thing people like this(CHAD) STILL existed. I know software startups are very common but this is just way over the top.

Can't wait for Big Bro's r/prorevenge story.

I bet Big Bro and Eddie were more than just roommates. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

I would have loved to have read that e-mail about Chad just to see how horrendously bad he actually was.

Wait, why didn't Big Bro stay at the old company? The other place sounds HORRIBLE.

Hell yeah, I love Richard and Chad.

As per the last story. The whole point of incorporating a business is so that you are not legally responsible if the company goes bankrupt. So I call BS on that part.

So why did Big Bro leave the other company to work for these jackasses? Just an odd detail in this story...

Man, these three didn't even need to wreck Chad, Chad just frick himself. I feel bad for the new guy tho, he must had been so confused, but I'm glad that they didn't left the new guy to rot with Chad

This sounds like an episode of a sitcom.

I love it when the video is just 1 story it always slapps love the content

This sounds a little too much like the place I'm currently working in...I hope that this isn't how it's going to turn out.

Father! I crave @Rslash

If you see rich people giving "advice" on the internet on how to be rich Half the pitch is the "full refund" bit, you need to nail that whatever money is put in, will be given back But, of course, you are not rich, you can't back up that money, and if you are not rich and do such claim, you are rolling dices with your life, your home, everything that you built until now
