It’s almost always in your best advantage to listen to the individuals who do the job when they say something isn’t going to work. This was the situation with a new supervisor who insisted on utilizing an ineffective GPS system and then deliberately punished staff who refused to use it. So, what happens if management insists on wasteful work? Of course, things get more inefficient. It’s one of those blunders that almost straightens itself on its own.

This individual was apparently even worse than they imagined, as he was sacked not only for ineptitude but also for corruption. How do these people keep being placed in positions of authority over others? The wrong individuals are all lying.

1. OP used to work in a company as a truck driver that had terrible system that would suggest long routes

Font - Posted by u/codeegan 18 hours ago 2 3 3 Sure thing Boss, I will follow the GPS oc M I drive a concrete truck. We deliver ready mix concrete throughout a fairly large area. Keep in mind concrete has a shelf life of 90 minutes once water mixes with the cement. This is very important on "spec jobs". Our company uses a routing and tracking system I will call the Terrible system. If there is a good route or less than good route it chooses the worst route of all routes possible. Ater working wi

2. A new manager came whom all drivers told that the system is terrible and therefore they do not follow it but he did not listen and ordered everyone to follow it nonetheless. One who did not obey was written up

Font - New manager starts. After a year he brings up in meetings drivers are not following Terrible system routing. Multiple times we tell him it gives us the worst and longest routes. He doesn't listen. After six months he states drivers will be written up if we continue to not follow Terrible system routing. Drivers don't listen. A few days after this pronouncement a fellow driver is written up. This is talked about. Cue malicious compliance! Next day on my second load I have a load to a locat

3. By following the manager;s instructions, OP failed a clint nd the company suffered a great loss of thousands of dollars which was not upon him because he maliciously complied

Font - Route it takes me is southeast 13 miles. North on interstate highway 35 miles (including a chicken coup...weigh station for non truck drivers....trucks are chronically overweight for interstate). East through a large metro area for 20 miles followed by last leg south of about 15 miles. Takes 125 minutes for me (Terrible system gave estimated travel time of 140 minutes so I did well). I arrive and I'm timed out. Rejected and that costs company $1000 for the concrete not to mention 20 gallo

This was how the story ended. I am kind of feeling bad for the manager. Below are the comments of the fellow redditors. Let’s read them and see what they had to say.

4. This must have gotten their attention, by the way

5. This is absolutely right

Facial expression - Own-Cupcake7586 · 18 hr. ago Common sense means nothing until it bites someone in the coin-purse. Well done.

6. Well, this guy just gave us a good explanation of why the system was so terrible after all

Font - dragonsrawesomesauce · 17 hr. ago Sometimes a GPS doesn't know certain things that are critical for truck drivers. As an example, outside of Syracuse NY there is a road along the lake (Onondoga Lake Parkway) that has a low clearance bridge. That road happens to be the fastest way to get from the highway to the suburb of Liverpool. BUT - it has a low clearance bridge. There are signs everywhere that trucks should take a different route. The signs post the low clearance. Sometimes drivers d
