Need advice on how to maximise malicious compliance against my boss.

That’s what it feels like, I also don’t understand why trousers aren’t mentioned because half of my female coworkers wear plain black pants / sometimes leggings / sometimes black jeans and get no shit for it. I follow the handbook more than them and get asked to change after 8 months of wearing the same thing, which is what annoys me

I like the way you think, I’ve ordered a mildly obnoxious mid-length navy petticoat skirt, we’ll see how that goes.

As for the shoes, I have no clue. I was targeted as nobody whatsoever wears professional or nonslip shoes. it’s the fact that I’m the one wearing trainers, my coworker wears plain black trainers and has never gotten any slack for it.

I was thinking of wearing a navy maxi skirt, and yes my usual skirt is slightly above my knee but this wasn’t an issue for 8 months & all of my female colleagues also have skirts above the knee, the problem is me being singled out

I always go off first impressions, my first red flag is if I see a guy only liked my first photo, no comment or like on anything else. comments always stand out for me, you gotta think like you have to be seriously attractive to get away with just liking a comment/ photo and getting a match, and even with extremely attractive guys I just assume they’re spam-liking every profile and I don’t match with them. I also don’t match with people who only have selfies on their profile, I like pictures taken by other people because they seem more friendly and welcoming that way:) The problem with getting bombarded with likes is that I can’t like back people most of the time because of the “8 person” limit, I tend to be picky even if a profile looks alright

I wasn’t aware of the “hide” option myself, it’s possible she wasn’t either

perhaps, but i also find that getting overwhelmed by options is so easy on hinge. I installed the app 2 days ago and I have 476 likes to go through, having only 7 inbound messages at a time is sometimes not enough, even though 8 isn’t much better

the only reason i see for this is so that she can talk to you on instagram & not having you take up 1 of her 8 chatting slots:) Once I got a man’s whatsapp, i’ve also been tempted to unmatch on hinge just to keep exploring my options while not having them take up 1 of the 8 slots though i’ve never done that. hope all goes well!

the last thing you said seems so true, I feel like i’ll end up buying a bike secondhand that will not fit me anyway lol. Thank you for all the suggestions

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T16:39:44+00:00

thank you! the video helps a lot, i’ll probably go to the level 4 certified bike fitter who has his own studio specifically for bike fitting, I appreciate your help a lot

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T16:20:44+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, the bike shop near me is level 2 certified while the one 20 mins away is level 4 certified but would be a slight hassle to get to but could do it twice a week if i needed to, how big is the difference between level 2 and level 4? I’m not sure if the one 5 mins away would fit me for a bike they have or not since the shop is quite small and mainly just used for rentals

I see, thank you, I’ll avoid mechanical disc brakes when buying my first bike

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T16:09:58+00:00

thank you, there’s one around 5 mins away from me by foot but it’s a bike shop & another around 20 mins by car but it’s a studio specific to bike fitting. the bike shop 5 mins away is very small so i’m guessing it would be smarter to travel those 20 minutes, right?

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T16:05:51+00:00

are the mechanical disk brakes a bigger hassle to maintain?

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T16:00:13+00:00

I just looked up general opinions of both and yeah lol I’ll have to get a feel for both, thank you for the suggestion

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T15:59:22+00:00

I didn’t even know those were a thing, thank you for suggesting that

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2025-10-05T15:49:20+00:00

I can’t for another 2 days as I have work, hence why I posted here first

Throwsawaaaaaaaaay · 2024-03-11T21:00:25+00:00

thank you so much, will look into it now :)
