Dumb Boss Fires The Only Worker Who Can Operate Their Special Machine

It's just not fair when one subordinate gets special privileges that others don't have. This creates an uneven playing field for all employees and can negatively impact their motivation to work at their best. As a good boss, it's essential to understand the importance of fairness and treating everyone equally. This doesn't mean everyone should be treated the same, but employees should be rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Creating a fair and supportive environment is crucial for employee satisfaction and productivity.

Sadly, not all bosses care about fairness. Some only focus on their power and end up making life difficult for their employees. On the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, one user posted an interesting story about their encounter with one such horrible boss. This boss fired the only employee who knew how to operate a crucial special machine in the organization. Without this employee, the machine couldn't function, leading to severe damage to the business. The boss's decision was driven by trying to protect another employee who repeatedly broke the machine.
