    I have a small web development company and one time, a client refused to pay an invoice. So I did the only logical thing, I changed one line of code on his site, which caused the entire thing to go down. He called me in a panic saying the site went down and he needs it fixed. I said, "Sure, just pay the invoice and I'll get right on it." 5 minutes later, the invoice was paid, the 1 line of code reverted, and his site was back to normal, oh and I billed 30 minutes to him as well, 15 minutes to upload the code, 15 minutes to revert it. Hasn't complained about paying invoices since.
    The moral of the story, don't screw over your web developer, cause they can screw you over WAY worse.

      @@mfmjr4 It's not the being great at their job that makes me think they re false.If you notice,almost all those stories have the same format:person is absolutely VITAL to their workplace,extremely competent,they have a dick boss/coworker and very conveniently,not only is their loss absolutely irreplaceable,but they also have a network of people.Those people ALSO find the person the writer dislikes to be annoying or an idiot,they are also ready to provide absolute help to the writer and they are always present when the writer gets their moment of triumph.
      Worst of all,is how all these mean bosses are portrayed as absolute idiots/egotistical for quite a while,yet its ALWAYS the writer who actually brings them down or closes their department.Sure,maybe its all true but I find all these to be very similar,like stories that end with "the entire classroom stood up and clapped.The reality is that most people won't give a shit either way if your boss mistreats you,because that's how things work;you re their employee and they re your boss.I wish this sort of karma existed but I dont believe it.

      @@Badartist888 i can agree with the last paragraph a little bit. My dad works export at a bus factory (VanHool). He has been working these kinds of jobs for like 30 years now. They also had multiple managers, some of them were good at their job being a manager but didnt have the slightest clue what the work system at the company works. Those managers always try to use new working systems and ideas implemented in the workplace but they always fail. My dad and his coworkers (who are also experts at their jobs) complain to the higher ups because of how clueless the managers are. Because the things they learned in theory cant just be implemented into a workplace without it being adjusted to fit the company properly. The difference is though that the ones that get fired are the managers for not trying to understand how it works there.

    I worked for a major medical equipment manufacturer for 28 yeas. Once I noticed that the power cords for the devices we made were substandard. I told my lead, he didn't do anything. I told my supervisor, he wanted to know why I wasn't bringing this up with the lead first. I told him I had and he felt that if the lead wasn't worried I shouldn't be either. A couple weeks later one of these bad power cords caused a fire and the shutdown of the plant and lost productivity for two days. It also required every machine we had sent out with one of the bad cables to be recalled and the cable replaced. The plant manager called a meeting with the entire production team and wanted to know why nobody, from incoming inspection to final test, had noticed the bad cables. He was PISSED! I raised my arm and said I had reported them twice, once to the lead and once to the supervisor. They both denied this vigorously. Well, I am an EX NAVY NCO, and we are trained to document EVERYTHING. So I pulled out my notebook with the date I first found the bad cable, date and time I contacted lead, and date and time and remarks from supervisor to not worry about it. There were other notes dated after those reports so the Manager could see it wasn't something I had just made up. The lead and supervisor were fired and I was transferred to Incoming Inspection with a raise and orders to get the department squared away.

      I'm a manager whose job is mainly communicating with client on behalf of my technicians. We had this one project whose deadline was really tight but is for a big client. One day my team lead (basically a manager as me, but he's the tech-savvy one while I'm the one that speaks the client's language) went off on me for trying to enforce a minor reporting rule (we had to log our time daily and provide reports what we worked on that day).
      I get that he's a newly minted manager like me and not used to the pressure, and I'm always the messenger of bad news from clients, but he accused me of "taking the client's side and not fighting for our team". While he did apologize right after, that was the day I stopped pulling overtimes to organize future work materials.

      @@robirvine6970 Idk what you expect is good, but considering the most expensive thing in his department was about $500, and most people aren't going to go for that and will instead go for the cheaper options, a lot going for the cheapest they can, probably equals out to him selling cheaper $25 - $100 items to most customers, and most customers coming into the store would probably be looking for actual instruments, music sheets, replacement parts such as new strings, etc., I'm certain that his section, which was accessories, would have most likely have not gotten the bulk of customers coming through the door.
      Lets say around 20 - 30 customers come through the door each day (considering I doubt a guitar store would get as much business as somewhere like Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target, etc.), with his section getting around 5 of those on an average day, that would have to mean he's selling ~$200 worth of accessories per customer. This is not accounting for days like Black Friday, Christmas Eve, etc., since those days would obviously have much more customers coming through, and most likely bigger purchases as well. While it's entirely possible he fabricated the story (whether just one or two parts, or all of it), he did make the claim that while he was there the store became #1 in that district and #3 on the west coast, and it makes it pretty clear he was supposedly the best employee at that particular store.

    I used to play on a Minecraft server with incredibly terrible staff- the only reason I stayed was because it had a plugin they refused to share. One day, they bring a plugin developer to update it. He is not paid, and they take credit for the plugin. He promptly ditches them, takes his copy of the plugin, then makes his own version because the original plugin was a buggy PoS, and bands together with other dudes to make his own server. I, like many others, ditched the old server. They now struggle to have more than 5 players, and I'm laughing my ass off over the shitheads losing everything.

    One of my classmates in my mandatory year ten history class, as well as his group of three friends, enjoyed throwing things (erasers, broken leads from pencils, tiny paper balls, sometimes food wrappers, once a half-eaten apple) at my friend and I who were minding our own business at the back corner doing our work. He was never noticed by tecahers and some other students went along with it. I usually didn't care and just threw them in the bin at some point during or after class, as reacting would just entertain him and his mates. He threw fewer things at us (mostly me, as our seating plan meant I was always closest to him), when he realised I was just going to ignore him. He also tried to trip us a few times, along with other classmates, because he was clearly bored out of his mind on a constant basis.
    My friend and I got on great with our teacher, we showed respect to our classmates, did our work quietly (my friend mostly watched TH-cam but contributed to class discussions), all that. This guy was the classic disruptive a**hole who thought he was hilarious, wasted his potential by not doing classwork, and was probably just taking out his frustration about his parents' unloving marriage or whatever crap on us. The teacher gave us a lot of freedom in that classroom, and because my friend has some pretty crippling anxiety, she let us do a lot of our work together.
    One afternoon, my friend and I were watching TH-cam with one headphone in each while we worked on a worksheet together. The teacher steps out to grab some sheets from the printer, and the second she leaves I feel the familiar sensation of part of an eraser hitting my head. I'm very fed up at this point, but I just continue on with the work. A pencil was thrown at me later, which I pick up and steal because, hey, free pencil. He makes some dumb comment about how my school dress (school uniform) was not flattering on my form and I was about ready to John Wick the guy with the pencil. And then, at the exact moment my teacher enters the room with the papers, this drongo decides to throw a full, uneaten sandwich at my head. It hit me right in the face and knocked my glasses off my head onto the table.
    My teacher absolutely loses her s*** at this guy. He gets detention. His friends get detention. Their parents would be emailed about it separately to the automatic email they get when their child gets detention. They are made to clean up all the garbage in the classroom, and moved them to the front row away from us and their other friends to sit alone on a table each. Once my friend and I let her know it had happened before, she alerts our other teachers (our classes were set up in a way that we shared most of our classes with the same people, and only our two electives were different) and they move them around accordingly.
    Nothing major, but it was nice to see the guys go sheet white when our science teacher told them all of their new seating plan the next morning.

    I used to work in a smoothie shop and for the first few months of working there, I genuinely loved my job. But one day, our store manager was moved to a store downtown and we had a bunch of new people come on. Our new store manager was the biggest asshole I'd ever met. He was creepy, only cared about profit, and yelled at us over absolutely everything. Several times, I had to walk out and take my 5 or else I'd have knocked his teeth out.
    It was summer in Utah and it gets really damn hot in the summer, so things are prone to breaking down. I went in to cover a girl's shift and the lights are off... and the AC is off.
    Now, the manager knew this girl who was hired at the same time, but she was hired on as a regular employee, not as a shift manager. But he treated her like she was one because he liked her. I point out how it's really not safe or sanitary and she ignores me. About 20 minutes into my shift, I realise that the juice dispensers have turned off and won't turn back on, which violates health code. I told her we couldn't keep serving and needed to close, and she ignored me. I refused to serve, so I went to do dishes instead. She started yelling at me that if I didn't start serving, she'd fire me. This was a super tiny store, you could see us working everything, so the long line of people all heard her say this.
    I turned and looked at her very calmly and said, "Sorry, I have morals. I don't like poisoning people in my spare time". The customers all looked horrified and I very quickly kissed my other coworker on the cheek because he knew what I was about to do, so I put my jacket on, grabbed my bag, and poured a container of melted fruit onto the lobby floor, forcing her to shut it down until it could be cleaned up. I went home and never went back.
    Now, about a week passes and I'm standing in the kitchen with my mom, and her phone goes off. A charge on her credit card for $6.32. She had only gone to my work once and when she did, she used her debit card. We very quickly put two and two together and I called one of my old shift managers (a very buff guy) and told him that no matter what, not to let the store manager leave the store. They found a credit card skimmer under the cash register and it turned out that he'd been on probation for credit card theft already. Good day.

    At Walmart in my town if someone buys cigarettes or alcohol in a group, the whole group has to flash IDs. If you see a couple people walking up to the register and then one splits off and the other comes through to buy the booze or smokes, you have to tell them to get their friend over here and show their ID. 10/10 times that person ditches the booze because that person was underage.
    Came into work, after having these three kids steal my parking spot and one flipped me off. Walking in right behind them, they’re doing stupid shit like ripping stuff off the shelves and misplacing things and I’m just walking behind them thinking I’ll tell my manager once I clock in. Then I see one of them split off in the direction of the booze section. I quickly clocked in, came out front where I was scheduled for self check. Waited. Sure enough the two kids came through buying snacks and shit, left to go sit on the bench out front where I could plainly see them. Third dude makes his way round to self check. Recognizes me. I say to him, “your ID checks out but I remember you coming in with friends, do you think you could call them to come here and show me their IDs? Store policy.” And glance back at the bench where the other two are standing up to see what the holdup is and the look on their face when they see it’s me. He just angrily throws the booze down and storms out, and I walk up to my manager and describe them Incase he tried to come in later. He did. He was stopped

    TL;DR: My boss asked me to come in on short notice and I said I couldn’t. He told me to come in in a commanding tone and I quit right on the spot.
    I worked at a local seafood restaurant as a busboy. There were 4 waitresses employed and 3 of them worked on the weekend.
    I wasn’t working one Saturday but my boss called at around 10am and asked if I could come in as a cashier at 12pm (I had some experience working the register and I was the go-to guy for covering shifts) and the current cashier would work as a waitress because she had some waiting experience. The reason being that one of the waitressess’ kids was sick and there was no one else to take him to the hospital. I assume they called the other waitress and she either said she was busy or didn’t pick up.
    I explained to my boss that I was working all day Sunday (also covering someone’s shift) and wouldn’t have time to study for a big test I had on Monday, and I was spending all of Saturday studying for it. He said, and I quote, “well, you won’t study and you’ll come work today.” The tone and the word choice infuriated me so much and I just said, “well, I won’t go today and I won’t go tomorrow or any day after that.” I hung up and I felt a huge weight lifted off my back and felt happier even since. :)

    I was in a roleplay chatroom that was doing fairly well, but the owner was a narcissistic micromanager that would throw fits if people's side plots weren't what they liked, story-plots that didn't have anything to do with theirs, or if their character wanted to date someone else's--but that person said no. They would do their best to sabotage the plots/relationships,characters via in-character harassment, then claim it wasn't personal, it was just what their character was doing. Given these were pre-existing characters, and their meddling was completely out-of-character, it was fairly obvious what they were trying to do. The room began to dwindle in the number of attendees.
    I was fed up with their micro-managing rules, nitpicking, and harassment. My friend I made there wanted to leave roleplay entirely, and I would have missed them, so I made a room of my own so we could roleplay stories together. Everyone except the owner of the last room followed us into my room. Every.Single. One. And even past players that had left because of the owner showed up in mine. The owner's room, within a short time, was completely dead, and the players that fled made it clear that they didn't want the owner to follow.

    I worked at Payless Shoesource for a few years and was a great employee. In fact, I am diagnosed with OCD that creates an intense urge for me to complete everything on my checklists or job description every single day as absolutely perfectly as I possibly can, so doing anything other than that is just...not an option to me. I had shining reviews and everyone loved when I worked a shift with them because their jobs got way easier if I was there, but I transferred stores after I moved across town. Once I started at my new store, my new boss just hated me. She thought my perfectionism was me trying to show her up and make her look bad so she started skimming money from the register and then loudly blaming me for it in front of other coworkers and customers.
    It got so bad that the corporate office put our store on high risk for all the cash loss. Not to mention the intense anxiety and issue I dealt with when I had to count the register at the end of the day and it doesn't add up - to no fault of my own- that's something I struggle with handling a LOT but you can imagine with OCD how huge of a problem that would feel like.
    Anyway, a few of my coworkers got to know me and figured out what was going on, that I was not stealing and we caught our manager acting very suspiciously around the cash register whenever she thought she was alone, so they started sticking up for me. She got so angry that she was threatening to call the police on all of us and that she'd ruin our lives etc.
    So this continued and our store kept losing money to the point where our district supervisor planned to come check things out and investigate. Our entire store team was so fed up with the manager, that we had been looking for new jobs the week prior and had all found new positions just in time for the district manager's visit. Six of us wrote notes of resignation and explained what we were experiencing and what we suspected the manager of, and left them taped to the inside of the store window up really high where our manager could not reach by herself (she was extremely short, less than 5 feet tall, whereas our district manager was over 6 feet tall and our store's ladder was broken. We made damn sure she could not remove the notes without his help) and none of us showed up to work there ever again. We were the entire staff of that store, so she was alone, with no staff, and would discover it alongside her boss.
    I will never regret that epic moment.

      The sad thing is, most people don't even understand why they need a good IT. If you tell them "It will cost X" they will always try to find a way to get it cheaper, which normally ends up being a total sh*tshow. I once worked for a patent attorney who used a driver's log software to bill his hours. That was around 2014, that driver's log software hadn't been updated since 1998 (and he wasn't even running the latest update, because that would have corroded all previous entries). Couldn't be implemented in any patent office management software. Not that the office management software he used was anything to brag about, some sub-par regular law office management software written for US law firms, which also meant that half of it didn't even work propperly, because the requirements needed by US firms and German firms are quite different (and it wasn't made specifically for patent offices). There are really good patent office management softwares out there, but he insisted on working with that shit. If he had used a decent management software he wouldn't have needed one of his employees, could have rented a smaller office (way less unneccessary paper files to store) and could have worked way more efficiently. I quit/was fired (to claim unemployment money you can't quit yourself, you got to get yourself fired) close to 6 months after I started. Glad I don't work as a patent parallegal anymore. Atleast one of his other employees quit about a year later for a better job in a different field. The third one is probably retired. Don't know if the fourth one still works there, but considering that no other patent office would hire her without any experience with a decent management software (there are two dominating the market here, PatOrg and WinPat, many offices won't even hire you if you only have experience with the other software they don't use), I don't think she could ever find work in that field again. Oh, and payment there was shit aswell, the company I worked for next offered me 40% more than what he was paying me (didn't stay there long either, I really wasn't born to be a patent parallegal).

They turn their brights on for about a mile and got pretty close to my bumper, even though I was going the speed limit. People often park on the sides of the street making it impossible to pass me unless he crosses into the oncoming traffic lane.
    After some time he saw an opening when there was no on coming traffic so he sped around me and floored it. A second vehicle also sped around me almost instantaneously along with that large truck. The only thing was that 2nd vehicle turned on their police lights and pulled that guy over on the next block.

    At the far end of the gas station parking lot, there's this girl in her late teens or early twenties about to pull out. At this point, that sixth sense you get right before a disaster kicks in and I say to myself "Woman, don't do it, don't you dare do it."
    I had about 50 to 75 feet left before I cleared her and she was free to go, but no, she decides to pull out directly in front of me. I slam the brakes and barely avoid t-boning her.
    Well, since it was the first day back to school, there was a cop on the opposite side of the school parking lot just ahead of me waiting for speeders who weren't paying attention. He flips his lights on and the girl has to pull right back into the parking lot she had just pulled out of.
    That was probably the best mood I had ever started a school day with.

Worse case, you get left with a pile of work and nobody of competence to fill that position on short notice, which means you'll lose money. Your employee may take quite a few customers with them too if they're popular, because most customers care about good service, not really where it comes from. Good way to go bankrupt.

    Ah, that last one. Once my younger cousin threw a football at my upper stomach pretty hard, effectively knocking the wind out of me. He didn’t apologize, he just stood over me and laughed as I tried to catch my breathe.
    Later on that evening, he went next door to play GTA with some friends. I informed my aunt about the game’s violence and etc. He was called home and immediately grounded for two weeks.

    About 5-6 years ago my dad had quit working at his job because the company was going mad firing everybody and he didn’t want to wait around to see what’d happen. For a year he was stuck working at a night shift which he hated. Until one day, a company contacted him because of how good he was at the job he had quit at a year before. They needed someone who could be an “understudy” for a lady that couldn’t do her job very well. He accepted, of course. The lady, her name is Rachel, had been working at that company for 20 years and still couldn’t get it right. So my dad had to do all the work she couldn’t. Rachel was my dad’s boss, and she LOVED rubbing it in. My dad was a really good worker, fixing mistakes, helping with anything and everything, and was always really polite. About six months later he gets called into his REAL boss’ office and gets a promotion. He had been such a good worker and team player so he really deserved it. Rachel wasn’t too happy about it. For another six months Rachel was slapping work into my dad’s lap demanding it to be done. His boss was noticing how well he could do the work, and deal with Rachel, so they gave him another promotion. Now four years later, my dad is Rachel’s boss, he teaches students trying to learn about Space Dynamics, having good friends, and still being very polite. And Rachel is still struggling to do her job half the time.
    The only thing that can come to my mind is, “Karma’s a bitch, Rachel, karma’s a bitch.”

He had this guy tailgating him badly and when he was at a stop sign he stopped and made sure that no one else was coming (it was a four way stop) then when he looked to double check he saw a cop hiding nearby. After that he drove off and the guy behind him blew past him like there wasn’t a stop sign and the cop pulled him over which was hilarious and awesome!

      You can usually figure out in a hurry where the cops park if you're in a job that overlaps with their patrols. My mom is a school bus driver, and her bus has often acted as the "object that a cop car hides behind" because idiot drivers run the lights (because when a school bus flashes its lights, passing it is straight up illegal, regardless of which direction, at least in my state, so you don't hit someone's kid). Considering how the state is treating the drivers, it seems like a bright spot.

He was one of the few to stay and now the company realised, that the new employees don‘t know shit about the system. His boss is way to cooperative with his superiors, who always try to give them very hard work and my father always needs to step in and tell these superiors, that they can‘t do the stuff, they were asked for, because it would be to much. His boss just agrees to everything the superiors say and never fights their decisions, even tough they are wrong. So my dad needs to do it. I hate it and my father hates these superiors. I really hope something will happen there soon.

    Right after my firs year in college (an unmitigated disaster in nearly every way. -I'd only gone to play music with the college acoustic group) So at the end of the year, while the other guys (who had actually taken their studies seriously) had gone on to Glorious summer jobs, I hung my head in shame and went to work for a real 'donk' at Wendy's. Depressed daily.. going through the motions.. flipping the burgers and dropping the fries.. for about three weeks. And Then.. a phone call... AT WORK.. which back then was a huge no-no. I can still remember the manager yelling: "Better make this quick... we got a rush coming in 30 minutes!!"
    It was my sister, telling me that some entertainment director we'd done some work for earlier that year.. wanted to know if we'd be able to fill in for the remainder of the summer at a well known entertainment complex up in the mountains. (Seems one of the guys in the regular group had broken a foot in a water sporting accident- heh!).
    Biggest gamble of my life up to that point, but I thought to myself "Even if the guys Can't do it.. hell, I'll put a band together Myself!" I felt myself reach around behind my back to untie my apron and letting it drop to the floor, while hanging up the phone at the same time.. then heading for the door. The manager yelled at me in angered confusion: "Where do you think You're going??" With a blank look, I said: "I'm not really sure.. but I think it involves being famous." (The look on his puzzles face was Priceless!) He said "What do you expect me to do with those fries??!" I said "You're the manager... I expect you to manage." And I was gone. DELICIOUS!
    -As it eventuated, the guys (thankfully) were able to do it.. and up until that point.. it turned out to be the best summer ever .

    I've got one.
    My first major job was at Red Lobster. this was before they became their own sales chain. I started back when I just about to turn 18. I bussed tables for several years, learning the ins and outs of the restaurant. Eventually, the corporate climate shifted, and bussers became "Service Assistants, but it was pretty much the same exact thing job wise. I bussed tables, I hoakied floors (a silent vaccum that surprisingly broke every 3 weeks or so), I cleaned around the restaurant constantly, helped the servers, walked customers to tables like a host, cleaned the kitchen, waited tables, and more. Most of what i did wasn't in my job description, but I did it anyway because I liked my coworkers and wanted to do a good job.
    After 5 years working there, seeing multiple people leave, be fired, and managers being shifted around and changing, I got moved between working host and a service assistant. There were plenty of times I had to do both jobs at once. The hours weren't all that great, but it was my first job and I needed the money. One day, as i was about to leave for the night, one of my coworkers needed caramel cheesecake for a table. i knew where they were in the freezer, so I went to go grab it. My boss accidentally locked the freezer door with me inside. I had the cheesecakes in a to go box for the customers just in case. They let me out thankfully, but according to them I was "caught stealing". I had never stolen food from the restaurant before, and the new GM had a policy that if you get caught stealing, no matter the amount or how long you've been there, you'd be fired. I tried to tell them that it was for a coworker and a table, but I couldn't tell them what table it was for, and the coworker didn't remember ever screaming about needing the cheesecakes SOMEHOW. And so, i was fired the next day. I had to come in early for a meeting with the GM and the Kitchen manager. Needless to say, the entire staff wasn't happy as I was well loved among practically everyone for going above and beyond my job and generally having a kind attitude. That very same day three people quit, and several more would follow over the next several weeks. After a year, i decided to head back to work there to see if I could try again. The entire management staff had changed, and that GM that fired me was no longer employed. I worked there for 3 more years until i finally decided to part ways with the company due to college.
    TLDR; Managers accuse me of stealing and lose some of their best staff and their own jobs at that location after firing me.

We were all trying to get out of there, as it so happens, one of the team got a job offer outside the company, I got offered a management position in a different area inside the company, and when an older lady on the team heard we were leaving she put in for retirement. The only one the boss kind of knew about was the retirement because he saw the paperwork come through, but we purposely kept the other secret and timed them so we would all leave the same day...which also was the middle of project crunch time. I did feel sorry for the two we left behind because I figured they bore the brunt of the bosses rage when he found out he was going to look bad because there was zero chance the project would be completed by the deadline with only 2 people.

So the guy just pulls out and flies past me - just at the right spot to get greeted by the telltale red flash of the permanent radar machine that was the reason I didn't go over the speed limit.

    I worked at a local restaurant that had been around for decades. Within the last 10 years the son bought it and it went to crap. No one goes there anymore, recipes have been messed up and it was the first and worst place I ever worked. The manager would target people and belittle them. She was this old bag of a woman. She would refuse to give raises and would always berate me for things I didn’t do. I was a shift manager and worried off days. Almost everyday of work she’d scold me for not doing something or something that has gone wrong. “T was manager last night. I wasn’t even here.” Then she’d praise T for things I did. Overall it sucked and should have quit sooner. I put in my two weeks finally. We used to always joke that the only way to get the manager to retire was if she had another stroke (she’d had two in the last 7 years). Guess who had a stroke. They struggled with scheduling and I urged everyone I could to quit there. To this day I tell people not to go there. They are not up to health code, couldn’t tell you how many calls I received about people getting sick, there are stains and spots that have been there for years, and super slow.

    This happened a couple of months back. I'm a graphic designer that had been working in this agency for 10 years. Pay was meh, but I really liked working there cause I learned a lot. So, we had this horrible client (you know the type: cheap fucks who always want the best but wanted to pay with peanuts) that demanded some very weird jobs, which included huge amounts of Pdfs with tons of variable data that had to be delivered in certain way. My boss was another cheap fuck and asked me to find a way around having to hire a programmer to do this job. I did with the limited resources I had. For 7 years I did at least 4 of this massive (70,000 or 80,000) things per year. Took me a week of doing nothing but this every time. Most times I had to work nights too in order to put up with the client's ridiculous deadlines. Boss never said anything, never even had compensation.
    Everything has its limits, so I decide to leave, not only because I was tired of that shit, but also because the executive from that client I had to work with was a rude bitch that knew nothing about the business but had her position cause she was the owner's goddaughter. She was conceided, rude and talked everyone down and when I politely replied to make her see how wrong she was, my boss always took her side. So, I had enough.
    When I told him I quit, he tried to make me stay, offered me anything I wanted and I declined. Wished him good luck and left.
    Couple of weeks later, I was already working in another agency and I get a call from my former bos asking me if I could work one of those massive pdf batches. I say sure and name my price. He flipped and I explained that a) I was no longer his employee, which meant I had every damned right to charge whatever I wanted and b) since I was already working somewhere else, I would have to sacrifice my nights and weekends to do his job and that was not cheap. So, after a long exchange in which he resorted even to emotional blackmail and failed to convince me, he hung up. Last I heard, the company is going under due to bad administration and the fact he now has to pay a lot of money to get the kind of stuff I did. Heard he ended up paying 4 or 5 times what I asked him in order to get the proyect done because no one was willing to do it in the time the client wanted it. They delivered it late and wrong, so it's very possible they're going to lose that client too 🤷🏻‍♀️

He had this irritating backfiring engine and a turbo with an annoyingly loud blow off valve. And then there's me in this little economy car just doing my thing at about 5 over. This guy would tailgate to the point that his intake was likely eating my exhaust, spool up that engine move to pass me and quickly abort because someone popped over the hill or from a backroad. at about 8 miles in we make it to the next town and he's still trying to get around me and never getting the chance to do so safely. Then at around mile 10 we come to a stop light and he dives through a small business lot and immediately makes a right turn out of that lot without stopping. Next thing I see is a cop coming through the intersection and flipping on the lights. I had two thoughts at that moment.

One day a 17 year old from that section came into my section and started to tell me that the bully boss and his sidekick had been bullying him and had threatened to thump him. I told the lad that he really needed to talk to the union guy as I had, had trouble with the gruesome twosome, I simply did not want to be involved with them again.As you can imagine, I went straight to my union and told them what had gone on and they asked me to give the lad the company grievance procedure which I did.
    Next thing I know I am on the receiving end of a disciplinary for supposedly telling the guy to "Kick the shit out of" his boss. Despite the fact that my friend had witnessed this guy doing all the talking and despite the fact that the union backed it up with the fact that I had given him the company's grievance procedure, there was even someone in his own lab who gave a witness statement that said that the kid had claimed that he had been bullied into making a false statement by the gruesome twosome. I still received a disciplinary warning.
    Long story short they eventually managed to fire me based on yet another pack of lies.
    A couple of years later the lad turns up on my doorstep and tells me that the bully boss has been fired and sure enough, when I 'phone a friend, she pretty much confirms it. It seems HR became concerned about staff turnover and installed a mole and they started the same shit on her. Last I heard the bullying manager has a part-time job in Costa, shame it is so far away or I might go in and make him serve me, LOL.

    I worked at an office supply store, and the store manager got moved to a different location, and the assistant store manager was made “acting” store manager, to see if she fit the bill. Her name was “K”, and we loved her. She was fair to us, she respected us, and one time she raced me down the aisle in an office chair (after hours of course).
    Anyway, the whole staff loved her and when she explained that her position was a trial run, we vowed to do all we could to help. We worked our butts off, pushed the store up to where it was one of the top performers in the district and the state.
    Turns out, the district manager, K’s direct boss, didn’t like her for some reason or another. He broke the established “hire from within” policy to bring in some joke of a manager named Steve (or some other really common name).
    Steve was a real piece of work. We’re talking, he wouldn’t let a grown woman, like happily married and her kids are in high school woman, go to the bathroom and she almost wet herself courtesy of him.
    Within weeks, most of the staff had quit, K has put in for a transfer to another store, I (who had always had great numbers and was employee of the month consistently) has turned in my two weeks notice, and soon after I left another employee got nailed for stealing.
    Put another way: we were all so passed that the district manager stiffed the manager we loved for a guy who was beyond useless, that the entire staff threw in the towel.
    The district manager apologized to K, said he was in the wrong, moved her to a better store and a better position, and Steve was left with the dryrot.

    My story isn’t one of instant karma, but if karma in general.
    My first job out of school was a job working in a kitchen of a medium sized restaurant. I was there for 2 months. In that time, I never received a bad word on the cleanliness of the pots and cutlery and such(they’d had issues with this before I arrived). In the 2 months I was there, I worked 250 hours(I was also at college(I’m from the UK)) and I wasn’t on all that much an hour(£5.75).
    Do the maths on that. 250x5.75. It’s roughly £1400. I receive £250 a month. After the second month, I started emailing HR and stopped working at the restaurant. 4 months after I left, I finally received the money I was owed.
    The Karma in all of this? Well, the restaurant came under investigation by HR, and the boss was fired for doing some shady things. So he lost the money he was trying to keep from me, and he lost his job, all because I stood up for myself. He deserved it

      They created at will employment here which lets companies fire you instantly without reason, so they can better hide their reasons which may be illegal. The law allows employees to just leave whenever though as the exhange which employees are recently using to its fullest in the U.S.

    Years go, now, when waterbeds were in style, I had sold mine to my BF on payments of 50 dollars a month for 10 months, because I needed the money as I had been in a car accident and broke my pelvis. She never paid me one payment, so I rented a water-pump to drain the bed and take it back. We ended up in a hair pulling, roll around, fist fight over it. She was much bigger than me, (and still healing up), so I walked away empty handed, and without a BFF. 2 months later, the bed shorted-out and burnt her house down, No one was home at the time.
    Although it may be humiliating to lose the fight, it could have been my house. Karma!

    I know he doesn't look at comments but this is my instant karma story.
    So when I was like 8 I was at the school play ground. A kid named Shawn walked up to me and started ranting on and on about how I was such a horrible friend and that he was crazy when we to think that he and I could be friends. Apparently I had forgotten to ask my mom for a sleepover that weekend. as he was storming off he looked back at me. I turned around not knowing what just happened. I heard a slam and looked back. Shawn was lying on the ground, his nose bleeding. I later found out that he forgot to stop looking back for awhile. Therefore when he looked forward again he hit a pole.

    I worked at a few movies theaters over the years during high school and college. One location had a head manager who was a stickler about us checking IDs for Rated-R movies (need to be at least 17 or accompanied by a guardian).
    One time, some kids came and only some of them had ID. After telling the ones who didn't that I couldn't sell to them...
    Kid: You didn't let my friends in, so here's my ID, you bastard.
    Me: (hands back ID) Now, I'm not gonna sell you the ticket.
    Kid: What?
    Me: You don't get to call me a bastard and expect me to help you.
    I told him to go away. He couldn't really complain to my manager, as he was next to me the whole time selling tickets.

    I quit my career in Healthcare. I was an EMT and CNA in Austin, Texas. I made a whopping $17 hr, pulling 12-16 hr shifts. Never had holidays or weekends off. Lost track of friends and family. Last straw was dairy queen posting a huge sign saying "paying $15 to start". A 16 yr old kid without a driver's license can make more than a cna and EMT.
