And? Does that make it better or worse? Personally I don't give a shit that he is a meme guy I knew that, but he is not the right meme guy for this sort of meme IMO.

    It's a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

    I can't possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.

    Except it's not really malicious compliance, it's just compliance.

    Memes are conceptual not literal

    That's mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or imitated.
    I know the definition very well both reading and hearing Richard Dawkins who coined and defined the term, explaining what a meme really is. And the idea is that memes can spread and evolve a bit like genes, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed to use the drawing u/Appoxo made.

    Edit:
    Funny why I'm downvoted for describing what a meme actually is???
    God people are either stupid or vengeful here!!
