r/Maliciouscompliance In today's episode, OP's boss constantly piles more and more work onto his desk. Then, his boss leaves the office so he can go play golf during work hours. OP eventually gets sick of doing his boss's job for him, so he complains and gets told to do his job. OK boss, sure thing! OP will do HIS OWN job, not YOUR job, which results in the boss getting in huge trouble with the company and eventually getting fired.

The boss in the first story is just too incompetent to be kept at his position.
He probably got the job through nepotism.
@@DarkEinherjar probably for taking credit for other peoples work
Mine does the same, but I adore her. "Dear heart, do this for me. Would you?" Yes, because she works fourteen hour days regularly and does go to bat for us when we need it. So we watch her back, too.
Y'know this story reminded me of my very first job and how I quit. I'm in my 50s and this happened back in the mid '80s.
I worked at a Big Name Company for a national janitorial contractor while I attended Tech School. Because I was in Tech School, they figured I would know what not to touch and assigned me to clean one of two 10 acre (4.05 hectare) computer rooms filled with IBM processor units, Storage Technology tape units and 3 huge pin-feed printers that printed out bills for Big Name Company's millions of customers. I worked at this job for 16 months (some weird sh*t happened regarding Big Name Company and the military that I could probably not talk about if I knew more than I had a day off to study because the military was taking over the computer room for the night guarded by Air Force personnel carrying automatic weapons). My tech school graduation ceremony happened to be on my birthday so I asked 4 weeks in advance for the day off. The contractor manager denied me the time off because...reasons? So I said OK and turned my notice in with 1 week to go. They fired me on the spot which i knew they were gonna do, hence why only a week notice.
I hate predatory sales practices. I am glad those mofos got what was coming to them. Surely he could see that guy was impaired in some way. I am glad the assistant manager was there to cancel the order n canceled the contract. It wouldâve cost the father a fortune to fight it in court.

I worked with workers comp patients and unfortunately this is the norm, but they go further with it, management shit talk the employee to other employees and create a hostile environment to work in, gradually cut hours and eventually make up some excuse to fire them, and that is if they are able to go beck to work, those who canât go back for a while usually find out theyâre no longer employed when they go back to let the employer know their restrictions changed. Big corporations are evil, especially hotel chains.
You'd be amazed...
Happens more than you think, i badly injured my foot a few years ago at work, i had over 2 months off, when i went back i was still not a 100% but i could walk and do my job so long as i was able to rest my foot when i needed it, the managers and shift runners understood but one of the shift runners didnt and had me do a 12 hr shift that i couldnt get out of, her logic "she can walk she must be better" i did end up doing the 12 hr but in return for that 12hr i needed another 2 weeks off because my foot had flared up again and she got written up ^^
Thats exactly the mentality that Amazon wants in their warehouse management though. They want to spend dollars to save pennies. Is it worth it to alienate an employee over a short term injury in the long term? Of course not, but corporate execs are financially incentivized to think short term, gotta get their bonuses.

There's a saying in systems analysis: _"A system must always be built around the worst case scenario so that it can withstand the worst set of circumstances at full function."_
Of course, it is unfeasible to prepare for 100% of the worst set of circumstances if your system's input depends on others' output, but that can be mitigated with proper planning and tools like protection inventory surplus.
JIT systems can be used, but when it comes to manufacturing? They are the worst idea ever if you can't in-house produce or procure every single part needed for the final product.
The whole point of JIT systems in manufacturing is that somebody sold management on the idea that you know longer needed warehouse and inventory control personnel costs if you switch to that system. The problem is that nobody would have ever believed a scenario like Covid would occur and the reality is the company no longer has the infastructure in place to store, monitor, and transport the materials. So you hope the worse case scenario doesnât play out.
The problem with random companies using JIT, is that they don't do their homework and see how Toyota got into that system.
It's not about "not having inventory", it's about "not having EXCESS inventory".
Yeah squeezing it as tight as they did is a terrible idea. What if a truck broke down? What if there was a natural disaster (like there was in the story)? What if there's a pandemic? What if there's a worker shortage. What if someone gets the numbers wrong? Any one of these likely scenarios means you're not producing anything for a while.

We are constantly told to let management know if there are any issues or if if we have suggestions. When we do, we get told "That cant be true" or they push back so much wanting us to drop it. Then when it becomes a bigger issues, oh the gaslighting is strong.

Yes, the answer is yes. That's how you respond to Kizumonogatari Hanekawa
Indeed, indeed
I hope the coworker from the last story got what was coming to them. The age of the son wasn't specified, but based on wording I think he might have been a minor. Can you imagine being such a piece of shit that you take advantage of a disabled minor like that? Like it's one thing to be a scammer and a thief but to do it on already vulnerable people. You deserve massive karma
Idk he lived in a home because he was disabled. The father sounded old. I am pretty sure a minor can't sign a contract. It sounded more like the son was an adult but disabled. The father being older couldnt take care of him physically so he lives in a home with other disabled adults. Either way though what they did was horrible. You have to be some kind of evil to take advantage of someone who clearly doesn't know any better in that way.
Doesnât matter if the son is a minor. If heâs in a care home and has a mental disability, he might not be able to create a legal contract. From a legal standpoint, it would have been like if the asshole coworker had sold those phones to a five year old. If the son is a minor, itâs simply easier to cancel the contract.
Because the son is visibly disabled, itâs easy to argue that the coworker knew what he was doing and pressures a mentally impaired person into a contract (then the contract should be void because it was signed under duress). If that case came to court, the coworker would actually have gotten himself into quite a bit of legal trouble, because I think that might be a felonyâŠ
It sounded like the son was an adult to me, but maybe mentally disabled. Which, in any case, would also make the contract uninforcable
OP in the last one should have also called the police or something. What happened with the old man seemed really illegal.
Since the two idiots got fired for theft, and OP mentioned they now have a record, I think the company itself prosecuted them criminally. After all they not only took advantage of a disable person (the old man's son), seems like they were using 'family and friends discount' and marking some merch and phones as 'broken' just to take them to themselves, and most probably resell them online.
@@BeanManolo I think what the coworker did might be a felonyâŠSo he would have gotten a bit more than a record. He could have even gotten a bit of prison time. (And most likely beat the shit out of him there, because taking advantage of a disabled person is one of the things that people, including inmates, take offense at. )
Honnestly, for that part I'm madder at the group home than at the stupid scumbag. I've worked in group homes, and during outings there are specific rules we had to follow precisely to avoid this kind of situation. It may be that group home who has way laxer rules, or some of their employees didn't do their job properly, either way if there's someone to sue here that's the group home.
Iâve done consulting for businesses where we are trying to automate manual processes and bypass useless paperwork and oftentimes at the first meeting Iâve said, âThese are all department managers. Where are the front line people?â They tell me, âOh donât worry, the managers know all the processes.â I always politely but firmly tell them that No, the front line people know the real step by step work, all the unnecessary crap, the shortcuts, in short they know where all the bodies are buried and I canât help the company unless I have unfettered access to THOSE guys. If they donât get it, Iâm willing to walk out. The front line workers know EVERYTHING.
Trust me dood sometimes the managers fail at training the people actually doing things. Like with my job there's a procedure. Basically, I work a help desk for retailers. How training for the machines is suppose to go.
Our person trains the store manager. The store manager trains the other managers and the regular employees.
This is because when they call in they should be trained on the machines to help do simple fixes. But nope. Doesn't work like that. Walmarts are the worst for this as the training tends to stop at the store managers, most times.
@@KumiChan2004 Which is often buried and/or ignored by the managers. Itâs still the front line guys that know how things work, because they are the ones who had to figure it out.
@@black1917 Yup. Sadly most of the time it is us working with them and due to a lack of training we virtually have to teach them on the phone.
My manager wouldn't have a clue how to do my job.
While generally true, sometimes the DM really does know everything you need. When I worked at a Safeway deli, my manager did most of my training, and frequently helped customers herself. She was just as capable as the rest of us, but had managerial duties on top. My one issue: I kept having issues with an appointment that I couldn't return to work without having, and she just... never put me on the schedule. She never filled out the paperwork for me to keep my job until I got cleared to return, so I lost the job at some indistinct point in time. I found out when I went to grab something from my locker and it was empty, so I asked about it. They just put all my stuff on the communal table to disappear.
I've only taken a couple weeks long crash course in contracts about a year ago, but I'm PRETTY sure that in order for a contract to be valid, both parties have to be of sound mind and not unduly pressured. I doubt that taking advantage of a mentally handicapped person to milk exorbitant amounts of money for a product he doesn't need falls outside of those requirements.
while that's true you need to at least get a lawyer to make that point for you and that alone can be more expense than someone in that position mentally can muster
@@clemdelaclem Right. That would fall on his father, who doesn't seem to have the money for legal fees, by the sound of it. It really is a good thing that OP was there at the time he was.
Wouldnât be taking advantage of a mentally disabled person for personal gain be a felony ? (Something about âcrimes against the elderly and disabledâ
I took business law and you are correct.
@@catherinec4947 No. The father never needed to deal with it. He didn't enter into the contract.

The original JIT process had "emergency" inventory built it, but greedy companies dropped that bit. It's why Toyota could continue to deliver cars for six months while other car manufacturers were having a "chip shortage."

6:54 Dude, you should talk to someone who works for one of the Class-1 Railroads (BNSF/CN/CP/CSX/NS/KCS/UP) if you want to hear horror stories about how disconnected upper management can be from the realities of the company they represent.
I used to maintain and repair flood control pump stations. Obviously these stations need to run during flood events. Without fail! I had a supervisor who was pissed because our maintenance team changed out a few pumps in order to standardize the system. This way we could justify buying extra parts that might fail during a catastrophic flood situation. Instead of 20 stations with 20 kinds of pumps, we could use models that were interchangeable. This standardization saved millions of dollars in damage claims within 3 winter storm seasons.
We had standard pumps that could be swapped out within hours.

The management in that third story reminded me so much of the organisation I used to work for.
What's worse is they'd ask us for input..... AND NEVER USE OUR IDEAS. They would have us waste time researching things when we actually had a million other things to do; then when we gave advice for/against a certain thing or what we would suggest.... it's like 'It'll go to higher management and finance'
And then most of the time they'd do the opposite of what was a good outcome becase 'We're management so we know better than you because we're paid more'. Yeah.... that actually ended terribly. Yes I was out of a job, but equally we also knew they were almost bankrupt because of this kind of complacency.
Then that one department head was aiding a criminal that was not only stealing from the organisation, but also bullying/harrassing volunteers and other staff and the head of the department wouldn't fire this person because.... well we all suspected they were banging.
Most likely true because I heard through other ex-staff that they took early retirement only a few weeks after I left, and skipped out on the complete pension fund.
7:30 worked at a company where every time there was a managers meeting (usually once per week) they would bring in 1 person, that had at least a 80% on the monthly performance evaluation, from each department. A great system for sure.
Many retailers also use the JIT system. So just because a website says the store has it in stock may mean nothing. When possible call ahead and reserve your purchase.
I hope everyone have a good day!

Iâm getting my BBA, and despite all of these issues weâre seeing with JIT models, theyâre still teaching that itâs generally the superior system to use. They brush past supply chain break downs and shortages like it isnât a very real issue weâre still facing. Operations management refuses to evolve đ
I mean JIT _is_ good⊠if you use it right. By actually having inventory as a buffer. JIT isn't about not having inventory, it's about not having _excess_ inventory. But of course, nobody other than Toyota (who invented it) is smart enough to use it that way.
Nothing in JIT demands that a company be so rigid that they canât make quick changes in policies or practices. The problem isnât JIT-itâs how itâs implemented.

JIT systems tend to be risky and prone to disruptions. Depends on lead times being short and consistent. Great to have when everything is going smooth, but supply chains need to be flexible so they can adapt to disruptions. Who cares if your inventory cost is low if you arenât doing any business?

Stories like these makes me wonder why we need upper management people
Reminds me of when I was getting ready to move to Japan. I told my supervisor and pretty much everyone when I was going to be leaving. I also made sure to give notice to hr. When the manager was getting ready to make the next monthâs schedule I reminded her when I was going to leaving. She told me to email her the info so I did and checked back in with her. She still had me scheduled for weeks after I would be gone and expected me to find people to cover those shifts. I told her that that was her problem and not mine. She complained to her manager. That manager told her off for that. She had to fix the schedule herself.
Lol, yep. I work in manufacturing and the line i work in tends to have this annual "all the problems we fix just enough to barely work" messes up all at once.
Inventory system is apparently non-existent and you shuffle through shelves and hope you have parts. Many parts we did not have, parts we needed came from out of the country and covid meant on top of already having a long wait time for the parts to be delivered, there was an extended wait time because of quarantining. The line lost at least 50% productivity through the year because of horrible inventory management and terrible maintenance work.
I love JIT systems. It's a great early warning sign of a shitty business run by penny pinching goblins. It's funny how many times my hotel has run out of basic amenities like soap, towel, sheets, breakfast items because the owner doesn't want extras floating around for fear of them going to waste / being stolen. When COVID hit we were out of single serve coffee packets for 6 months. Good call boss!
Funny, that you mentioned BMW. They use JIT too, and it could be, that op is actually talking about BMW. BMWs production in the Bavarian area is so big, it is just impossible to store large amounts of parts. When the pandemic hit Germany a large part of the Bavarian economy crashed in the area, because there are actually thousand of small companies, that ONLY create and deliver parts for BMW. Once one companie couldn't keep up the production everything had to stop.
And in early 2021 parts of Germany had massive floods (in Bavaria too) so that actually matches up.
Could totally be in every other Country, I think, but it sounds so familiar.

7:47 Doctor's note: The company in question just screams Amazon.
Legally speaking, under the us commercial code which governs contract law and which most states have adopted with relatively few changes, any verbal or written contract (sales or otherwise) with a minor or with someone who has legally been shown to not be mentally able to understand and agree to the terms of the contract is not the same as a normal contract. There are special rules and restrictions that apply and can wholly void the contract from a legal standpoint.
If your Business is set up in a way that one person is that integral to your success then you better make sure to never, ever, EVER piss of that person.

Unless he is just taking most of the time to relax. Nothing wrong with that.
Also OP in the last one should have called the police about that guy tricking the older jnto the contract. There has to be something illegal with that.
Iâve worked in a similar job as the last OP, and I can tell you that it IS illegal. HIGHLY illegal, especially if the disabled persons the coworker was scamming was a minor, which can land you into even BIGGER charges. First possibly being sued by the company and being charged for fraud and theft, then the victim and their families suing for that crime. The boss is especially at fault and Iâm glad they got fired.
You never ask for time off. You tell them that you are not available on those days.
With the JIT system, I watched a Wendover video that explains not only what it is, but why it's the dumbest thing in existence. Apparently this, combined with decreased shipping, is the cause of the current supply issues. It comes from when a bunch of companies copied Toyota, but forgot the part where Toyota also stockpiled materials for emergencies. Hence why they are the only people producing cars right now.
I work in the medical supply chain and OPs story resonates with me. It is a constant right now. It just goes crazy and people want to quit all the time

This happens a lot, especially in retail. Because the worker is a part-timer and not really attached to the company, the higher-ups believe that the worker's opinion is not worth listening to, but in fact is the most worth listening to, solely because they deal with everyday stuff. When a manager decided that a section doesn't need to be made easier to find things in when said manager does absolutely no searching, that's a good example.
Toyota has been managing their company this way since the 40s. They are where we got the concepts for "lean company", "JIT", and this type of management thinking.
I think the related system, 5S, was their concept too. It's certainly Japanese if not actually from Toyota
My father works in a BMW parts warehouse and even he got pulled to go to a major business meeting before as a picker (person who grabs parts from the shelf to be shipped to dealerships and mechanics) because BMW values the input of employees at all levels of the company.
They even have a program for all of their employees no matter the level to be able to lease a brand new BMW vehicle for cheap. My mother now gets to drive a BMW that had 15 miles on the odometer when she got home from the dealership for less money per month than paying off her Chevy Malibu she had before.
7:30 BMW: BMW is a public company. All public companies have a board of directors (CEO, COO, CTO, etc.) and a supervisory board. In most countries, supervisory boards are constituted by delegates from the owners/shareholders. In Germany (by law) all supervisory boards (of companies above a certain size) are constituted of delegates of shareholders (50%) and employees (50%). So, the workforce has greater insights into managerial decisions and the company's economic situation. This helps mitigate difficult situations instead of alienating the workforce as management and the workforce work together for better solutions.

She did the schedule for my first month during my hiring interview and then never bothered permanently marking that I could not work mornings. She seemed understanding and actually did put in the system that I could not work mornings. The next day I worked I came in the afternoon and she freaked out because I was late.
I again reminded her that I could not work mornings. She was genuinely shocked. She checked the system and saw that I was not supposed to be scheduled for mornings and apologized and said she would fix everything. At this point I was a little concerned about her mental health if she could not recall she was the one who put that note in the system.
The next day I get a notice from her telling me that I am being written up for not working the previous morning. I once again remind her that I cannot work mornings. She says she checked the system and found out that my exception to mornings was added after the monthly schedule had already been made and therefore it would not take affect until next month. I reminded her that it was supposed to have been in there since my interview and she was the one that had forgotten to add it. She said she would redo my schedule for the month but I was still being written up for the morning I missed. She acted like I should be grateful to her. To this day I still wonder if she was just mentally handicapped.
Rslash really pulled out the Hanime approach for his sponsor.... nice.
For science, what was that clip from?
JIT (Just In Time) systems are used so companies don't have the extra cost of warehousing of extra parts. So when you use the last part a new delivery arrives with a new set of parts. This can work well, but it has to be expertly managed, to beyond military like precision, with many back-up suppliers and contingencies in place. If there is an issue in the supply/production line you are basically screwed until the problem is fixed or you can switch to a planned back up system.
Heard all stories before. Is this a compilation? Greatest Hits? Laziness?
In Germany, it's mandatory for publicly traded companies to have 30% of the board to be actual workers.
RSLASH: "mentions BMW Managerial structure"
Me: So that's how my job is gonna be starting Tuesday
Love the last story, good for the poster!
Re:BMW - In Germany unions are set up as "worker's councils" and work closely with management to set HR policies and working conditions. In the US, unions are set up as adversarial organizations, and generally see the management of automotive companies as "the enemy." Thus, you don't often have close collaboration between rank-and-file autoworkers and management. VW tried setting up a worker's council in one of their US factories and the UAW shot the idea down. Then, the workers voted to not unionize at all.
hOLY SHIT! First time the promo made me snert and laugh out loud
Solid Work
Have a good day everyone!
God, my current job pays much less than my last couple of jobs...but I DO NOT miss working at companies that totally disregard the humanity of their employees. My current job gives me the proper number of days off, free health insurance, vacation and sick time, 2 paid breaks and a lunch, will not question or demand you come in if you're sick, my managers have even helped me get a section of my work done on time without me even needing to ask! If the pandemic has taught me anything it's that don't base a good job around how much money you make alone. There is no reason your job environment can't be healthy; I was fooled into thinking that wasn't a possibility.
this reminded me when i had my second vaccine, my manager was like ''okay, the vaccine day and the day after you will have off just remind me later on when i put the shifts and before the days since if something changes i dont bother you'' a day before my second vaccine, ''i put you on afternoon shift the day afte tomorrow'' *me in total shock* ''i have vaccine tomorrow, you told me for 2weeks and even yesterday that i will have 2days off incase i get sick from vaccine, so why now cancel'' *her* ''because i have no one else to work' she literally gave someone a day off just cuz why not and informed me that i will have to work on my requested day off. on days off in my company you need to ask if we can go and help since its off duty day, yet she didnt ask just gave me a shift, HOLD AND BEHOLD I HAD FEVER AND FAINTED infront of clients, my manager saw and didnt give a fuck. thank god she got fired for the abuse she gave me. this wasnt the only case which led to her being fired, i just wasnt silent, since she put my health at line. i went right to the regional manager
Pretty sure the saying is, "lo and behold" not "hold and behold" lol
DAYUM who thought making RAMMUS the manager was a good idea?!
Story 2 - JIT systems are always ticking time bombs. They usually fail within the first three months. I've only heard of them working in Japan, under very specific circumstances.
The reason companies use the jit system is to reduce taxes.
They have to pay taxes on real-estate and inventory at the end of the year.
The taxes should have a years delay and be reduced for warehouses
As an IT guy I laugh at the express VPN add. đ€Ł still enjoy this channel.
Thanks Rslash!! đđđđđđ
7:50 If you worked in Skyrim my best guess is that you are a guard and it got hit by an arrow :)
As a way of saving money on inventory JIT is great in theory, but only if everything arrives when it's needed.
Working at BMW at the Spartanburg, SC plant. I can second that. There is very little downtime because upper management stays out of daily operations other than profit and numbers.
Back in college I worked for a cleaning service run by one guy who drank a jug of Captain Morgan every day, passed out on the couch in his office, and let his secretary and nephew handle everything. Secretary and nephew were actually really cool, and didn't fuck around because this business was their bread and butter. Colonel Clusterfuck however spent his life in a booze-sodden fugue, and unfortunately reserved the right for approving time off exclusively for himself. So one year in January I'm like "Hey by the way I'm going on a road trip to Texas in July to attend a wedding," and he nods and says it's okay. He wasn't slurring his words and bumping into shit, so I figured I'd caught him during the brief daily 30 minute window between the time he'd sobered up from the night before, and started the current day's drinking. Anyway as July rolls around, turns out his nephew put in a week of vacation the same week I'd be out in order to attend Rockfest. And magically he had zero memory of me asking that same week off six months prior. The thing is, our crew could absorb the work of one missing guy, although it would result in everyone working overtime. And as much as paying overtime hurt his bottom line, Colonel Clusterfuck would rather pay that than sober up and get off his ass to lift a finger. If two guys were out however, it was simply too much work. We had a firm window to get all the cleaning done for the contracts, to the extent that it was physically impossible if we were down two men. So Colonel Clusterfuck would need to do some actual work for a change, or pay a LOT extra to outsource a day laborer. So he of course denies my PTO retroactively by claiming I'd never told him, and that it was too short of notice. At that point I pushed back and reminded him I told him about this SIX MONTHS ago, and that all the preparations are already made. I've RSVPed, the hotel reservation is booked, etc. And I am not asking off, I am telling you I am not going to be here that week. Do what you will with that information. I got the week off, and he never spoke of that ever again. (Oh and he was a complete embarrassment at the jobsite too, to the extent that he damaged client equipment and lost that contract. And he couldn't blame anyone else because the whole crew saw him lose control of a swing machine and smash a toilet into porcelain rubble.)
Years ago I was a miner...around 1989, 1990 or so. I remember this co worker of mine. Let's call him B. Turns out B was absent more than he was there. lol. My boss who was on a golfing outing with prospective clients saw B at the golf course when he was there with clients. It was the quickest exit interview ever. lol.
