'He is shocked... he finally realized that his actions have consequences': Magazine boss loses trust in employees, tries to force them into signing sketchy contracts

This person went from enjoying their job to being baffled at their boss's decision-making in just a short time. 

It seems like u/aqualink97 had a weird experience working for this boss. They started the job at a youth center. But after starting the job, their boss enlisted them to make videos and graphic designs. The boss then decided to create a separate magazine which fell under the youth center's purview. Over time, it started becoming clear that the boss was intending to fully focus on the magazine business, and he wanted all of his employees to do that, too.

Turns out that the boss's dreams were a bit short-sighted. This person shared their story of malicious compliance: they were being strong-armed into signing a contract that would've made their employment worse. It's incredibly shady of their boss to try to swindle them into basically taking a pay cut! He thought he was being subtle and clever, but unfortunately for him, his employees realized what he was doing. Nice try, but his magazine dreams are over.
