What does "švejkovat" mean? What real life behavior would you describe as "švejkování"?
Post Body

Hello, Southern Friends, Pole here.

Recently I have been reading Švejk, as the part going through my reading bucket list. Needless to say, I am in love with the book, and extend my reading by scouring Wikipedia for all things Švejk. This is how i have found out that this verb exists.

But... what exactly does it mean? If i am reading it correctly, it is a form of "malicious" compliance, when the subordinate is given an increadibly stupid command- he carries it out with a total disregard for the idiocy and consequences, to the very unpleasant surprise and dismay of the supraordinate. Because... this is what the protagonist of the book does all the time over and over. Is there anything else to it?
It would help me to understand it if someone gave me an example of how švejkování would look in our modern time, in a space such as a corporate office.

Thank you in advance and big thanks to Czech culture for giving the world this book. The setting in which both state and the army tries to look increadibly serious and pompous, and the harder it tries the less it seems worthy of being taken seriously is just a marvel.
