People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

You make them assign the task to you, don't just do it because it's necessary. Each task that is not part of your actual assigned job needs to be assigned to you. Every time. If they want you to do it every time it's needed, ask for them to update your job description to reflect it.

It's called a white strike because you are burying them in paperwork, but not walking off the job.

My listed job duties are infinitely vague and I'm responsible for everything.

Bonus, you can ask for clarification on everything.
