The Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a document written by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944. The manual was declassified by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2008.
The manual was distributed to OSS officers in foreign countries in order to help them train "citizen-saboteurs" in German-occupied Europe.

Various media may be used to disseminate suggestions and information regarding simple sabotaage.
Misfile essential documents.
Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself into trouble.
Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen- saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.
Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.
If possible, join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems to the man agement.
