• One employee struggled with this in his new role when his supervisor's micromanaging got taken to a new level. This manager had always been quick to criticize him in the brief few months that he had been employed, and he had decided to escalate that to how the employee dressed.

  He claimed that he needed to dress better and told him to go to HR to clarify. HR confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his outfit in their casual workplace, but nonetheless, the worker decided to take his supervisor's words to heart. What followed was a classic tale of malicious compliance.
