Malicious compliance
company policy
"
Malicious compliance is the act of intentionally inflicting harm by strictly following orders, rules, or policies with the knowledge that compliance with the policy will not have the intended result.
Chances are you've witnessed malicious compliance before and just weren't aware of what it was called.
Have you ever seen a coworker get away with something outrageous because they weren't technically breaking the rules? Or maybe, much to your delight, you watched a colleague use the system against a terrible manager that you despised.
If you answered yes to either of those, chances are you've already encountered malicious compliance.
While malicious compliance can be used in any aspect of your day-to-day life, it's most often seen as an act of rebellion by employees who find a company policy too restrictive or flat-out stupid. The key to malicious compliance, as opposed to insubordination, is that an employee uses a company's policy against them by following it to the letter. "
