You got it, boss!

Don’t you love it when you hear a story about a lowly employee who makes the big boss look foolish?

Well, this is one of those stories!

And it’s a funny one!

Take a look at how this bank employee decided to respond after his boss told him he wasn’t too impressed with the way he was dressed.

Bank Was Worried About How I Dressed.

“A few years back I was working for a local community bank in the loan processing department.

The bank was under a consent order from the FDIC due to some loans that had gone bad and had left the bank with insufficient assets on hand. Of course I didn’t do much if any customer interaction, but company policy for the guys was to have dress pants, button up shirt and a tie.

The department was also located in the basement of the building, so I was visible by the customers 4 times a day at the most, punching in and out for the day and lunch.

Uh oh…here we go…

Apparently at some point during one of those visits the Executive VP saw me walking to punch in or out and from her office (being she rarely walked out of it) noticed that my shirt had wrinkles in it from 30-40 feet away.

She contacts my manager (A stereotypical rear end kisser who would never saying anything other than yes to his boss, and loved to make his employees lives a living hell), and he jumped at the opportunity to lower the employee morale if at all possible.

He walks in to the room where the three of us were working and informed me that my shirt was too wrinkly and that it needed to be dealt with.

Now, I’m lazy when it comes to my clothes so anything that I can’t hang up out of the drier and have wrinkle free doesn’t make it into the wardrobe. I check with my coworkers who standing beside me are unable to find any of the wrinkles that everyone seems to be so sure is causing the bank to fail.

The next day I had no choice to but to deal with the problem as I didn’t want to be responsible for the bank failing, after all my manager and the executive team were doing a great job of that on their own.

LOL.

So, I did what I felt was appropriate, I broke out the my suit, was sure that everything was clean and wrinkle free and headed off to work. I walked past my bosses desk just outside of the room we worked in and he looks up and stares for a second.

He then asks what I was so dressed up for and I let him know that I didn’t want to be talked to about my wrinkles again, he gives me a disappointed look as if I had missed the point of the conversation the day before and I walk into the office.

This is pretty funny.

I made a point of walking into the lobby of the bank in full view of the Executive VP multiple times that day to be sure that I was noticed as I wanted to make as big of a point as I could.

Not surprisingly I put myself on the unofficial hit list of the bank. Everything I did was monitored, emails, movement, loan files, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the boss had a log of my bathroom breaks.

I spent about 2 months of being treated like that and left, and about 2 months after the bank was sold and the executive team including my boss got canned as part of the deal.”

Admit it…

You laughed!

I know I did!

Nice work!

He maliciously complied…and his bosses didn’t think it was funny.
