A recent story from the subreddit Malicious Compliance gives an example of what happens when a boss pushes a former employee too far. A Reddit user known as Hopplafish shared his experience of working as a specialist at a small planning and design firm in Germany, where he alleges the environment was a total mess.
According to him, the pay was a joke, and the leadership was completely unpredictable. Additionally, the firm allegedly expected him to handle the duties of a fully qualified project manager without the appropriate support or compensation. He claimed that the turnover rate at the company was quite high. He wrote that three colleagues left around the same time as him.
