  • Malicious compliance does wonders to solve issues with stupid rules. One of my “favorite” gigs was full of me going “we’ve done it this way for a while, despite policy saying to do it this other way, can we update policy to just have us do it the right way instead of the documented way”, being told “no, do it by policy”, then a week or two of me doing it by policy before being told “policy is updated to <what I said it should have been from the start>”.



  • May I introduce you to my Lord and savior, the recap email.

    “As per our conversation on <date>, we discussed <topic> and had the following points/action items…”

    I’ve only ever had one job where these emails were not appreciated (current job most send them by default), and man was it fun pissing off people outside of my command chain by documenting the shit they wanted off record.
