Workers Respond After Boss Says They’re Unqualified For Their Job

by tellyepi Posted on

Consider being refused a promotion because you are perceived as unqualified for your current position. When work is unfair, overworked employees may strike back by literally doing their job description. When people put in the effort, they can become lords of efficiency, preferring to work smarter rather than harder. Keep on scrolling down below and make sure you watch it till the end otherwise, you are not going to get the whole point here.

1. Seems like a fun job

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance Posted by u/grrodon2 20 hours ago No promotion = less work, same pay |ос м I work for a passenger boat company. We have 3 tasks while on board: secure the boats for embarking and disembarking, keep an eye out for safety and order, and check tickets and issue fines. A few years ago, the company asked some of the senior staff to temporarily switch to ticket inspector for high season, with the promise to move permanently within a year.

3. Are you kidding me or what?

Text - Now, we don't have much choice, so we agree to the exam, and surprise surprise, pretty much nobody makes the cut (they had to promote 2 because they knew they got perfect score), despite the exam being for a job that some of us have been doing for decades.

5. Yeah you did dodge that bullet OP

Text - Now the supervisors don't even bother with us anymore, and I have that rejection letter in a box with other dear memories (like my old d&d character sheets). Edit- I forgot the cherry on top: a couple of months later, their timetable was modified, having them take service at 5am twice a week. There's no way I could have kept that up (I worked late shifts for most my career). Dodged that bullet!
