'I had cost him his job': Worker earns $4000 in overtime after manager orders them to change date format on important files

One manager was left reeling after realizing their demands were wreaking havoc. For that dude, it was way too late to change what he'd already messed up. 

Having a good work flow is all about knowing what to prioritize. Like if you know your boss starts their morning with a coffee and an email you send a recap email from the day before, you wouldn't start the day by calling clients and ignoring your boss. As much as we dislike thinking about it, our bosses do have important jobs (sometimes), and as an employee, it's your duty to help out. That even extends to the times you know your boss is making a dumb mistake. 

We all make silly mistakes; it's just part of being human. As a manager, though, you have to own your decisions… even the worst of your choices. Watching a bad boss be humbled through their own life lessons is so delicious, as u/Rhowryn knows firsthand. In a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, the employee writes that their boss had a problem with the way they were dating their files, and requested the employee make them look like "regular dates." The OP really went above and beyond with that request, so much so that the company lost a staggering amount of money and productivity.
