Just look at the micromanaging boss that the original poster (OP) had.
Well, our protagonist complied maliciously, and when they were laid off, the whole department crumbled!
Even OP tells us that Matt was anawfulmanager.
Well, they complied and stopped doing the extra tasks or even documenting the work.
They just said that they didnt know and it was in the files!
Nicola claimed that the company did quite an awful thing to the poster.
She strongly believes that such companies need to improve their culture and management.
