In my previous job, for the first several years I was pretty happy. But my manager got progressively more and more micromanage-y (or maybe it was the same amount, and I just got sicker and sicker of it). The demands and deadlines also became untenable, and I was finding myself extremely stressed all the time, and dreading going in to work most days.
Anyway, at a recent company town hall, one of the speakers said something to the effect of "if you don't love getting out of bed on Monday mornings and coming to work, you should go do something else." So shortly thereafter, I accepted a new, remote job that pays more, and at least for now, I'm happy there. Does that count as malicious compliance?
