I wonder how you ever deliberately sabotaged your grades at school or your work performance if your parents or boss forced you?

I wonder how you ever deliberately sabotaged your grades at school or your work performance if your parents or boss forced you to activities you not liked?

I have one friend whose parents tried to force him into sciences (in Great Brittain and USA) called STEM while he preferred humanities, so he deliberately sabotaged his own grades to the point of almost repeating the whole year, his parents eventually given up and allowed  him to switch but he needs a lot of work to make all the difference in curriculum 

And the same goes work have you even deliberately reduced you work performance if other people took all the credit but not you?

Update:

@Gypsyfish

Fortunately, in my country, the final high school exam called matura, is more important than the average from the last 3 years (now 4), which is how long high school lasts in my country, the high school average is also important, but the final exam is more important.

Update 2:

His parent also managed to get him a psychiatric diagnosis that he had a problem with depression, which could explain his poor grades, and he has Asperger's like me.

But he managed to change his educational profile from science to the humanities

    That's not a very smart way to deal with the situation. In your friend's case, he now carries around those bad grades, and they'll affect him in the future when he has to submit his transcript for a job or if he applies to graduate school. 

    Reducing your work performance can end up with you losing your job. You boss doesn't care who gets credit for the work, but will care when co-workers say you're not producing.
