I'm retired and work at a food market part time, I enjoy the work, have fun with co workers, but, there's one particular worker who's also part time, was a dept. manager at one time, not old enough for retirement. Anyway, he's a braggart, could go on, but my malicious compliance comes in when, the braggart goes in stockroom for product, the product he needs is covered by other items, instead of placing the items he doesn't need on a cart he throws them on another pallet with other products, my gripe is someone has to remove them to get to what they're working on. No one says anything to him about it, they shrug it off, me. I confronted him when he did to me, he laughed it off, I told point blank what he is. Oh, he's also buddy buddy with store manager. Well, one day, he's doing his thing, products on floor, etc., I mentioned to my supervisor about his actions, he shrugs it off, I tell him I guess I'll show the store manager, my supervisor said no, no, let it go, that gives me something to do when I'm finished, then I'll go to stockroom to sort products. So, now, when I go to storeroom and what I need is covered by the braggarts actions I tell my supervisor I can't get it, I refuse to do double work you'll have to get it. BTW, I don't care about getting fired, l'll walk out. So far, he picks up after the braggart. Will post updates. Also, other coworkers keep quiet.
