Workplace dynamics play a significant role in our overall well-being and job satisfaction. Unfortunately, not all employees experience fair treatment and respect from their superiors. In a recent Reddit post, a former employee shared their story of enduring an excessive workload and how he sought revenge. Here’s the full story.
He Had a Terrible Boss
The Original Poster (OP) worked for a boss who was a jerk that showed no respect or kindness.
He Used to Work Overtime With No Pay
The boss used to have OP work 13-hour shifts without any overtime payments, and he used to say, “You are paying the dues.”
He Was Working Like an Animal
OP said that despite having a master’s degree, he was essentially working like an animal in the construction industry.
His Boss Would Throw Things at Him
Verbal abuse and objects being thrown at OP further exacerbated the toxic work environment.
They Justified Their Actions
OP had keyboards, mice, wires, and empty water bottles thrown at him. Top management justified their actions by telling OP that he needed to have a thick skin to survive and succeed in the construction industry.
He Shed So Many Tears
It was so awful that during his two years of employment that OP shed many tears.
His Partners Works for a Charity
OP says his partner does a ton of charity work and gets free concert and performance tickets.
His Boss Asked Him to Get Two Tickets
OP’s boss asked him to get two tickets for him and his wife on several occasions during the two years he worked for him.
He Need to Book Comparable Seats
The story began when OP’s boss instructed him to book comparable seats for a forthcoming performance before OP left his job.
He Used the Opportunity for Revenge
OP took this chance for revenge and informed him that his partner could only get them for a different city venue, meaning he would have to travel.
His Boss Loved Classical Music
His boss was comfortable with it because he loved classical music.
He Slightly Altered the QR Code
Having endured such mistreatment, OP forwarded his boss the ticket a few weeks later but slightly altered the QR code and the ticket number to render them useless.
The Revenge Worked
OP noticed on his Instagram stories that his boss had traveled to the city on the weekend to enjoy the show.
The Tickets Were Showing Up as Invalid
That evening, OP received numerous calls from him because the tickets were showing up as invalid, but OP sat and watched TV while he let the phone ring.
He Shared It on Online
OP took his story of revenge and shared it on Reddit. Several Redditors shared their thoughts on the situation while supporting OP. Some Redditors pointed out that OP could take him to court for unpaid OT and abuse.
