35 Petty And Savage Acts Of Revenge Against Horrible Bosses

I was the head of the lighting department at a staging company, and I was pushing pretty hard to get stuff fixed and upgraded to bring everything up to a decent standard, only to have the production manager shut me down on every single request.

We had a couple of old 1800watt colour changers (the kind you see lighting up buildings) and they needed parts, so I rang around, found the parts, filled out a purchase order with all the relevant information on it and handed it to the production manager to sign off and order them.

6 weeks later, the owner rings me at 7pm, ranting at me about how we need them for a show and why haven't I fixed them yet. I shut him down very quickly, informing him about the purchase order that I had filled out 6 weeks previously and handed to the prod manager, and was STILL waiting for the parts to arrive. Totally hung this d******d out to dry. The owner apologises for going off at me, and tells me he'll see me the next day.

The next morning the prod manager comes into my section of the warehouse and sheepishly apologises to me for not ordering the parts when I first asked for them. He actioned every parts order I made within 24 hours after that.

Somewhere I used to work, a guy I know, would take the operations manager's coffee cup to the back room every weekend and run his ballsack around the rim a couple of times then put it back where he got it. *or so I've heard*.

My job does an internal survey every other year to check the pulse of the workers. Myself and a few more coworkers had an issue with our boss at the time, he is the biggest a*****e I've ever worked for. We severely blew him up on the survey one year, they mysteriously moved him to another city not long after that.

I resigned due to bad leadership and i was the only person who knew how several systems worked. they had major issues afterwards, i heard from a few people who briefly worked there after i left but eventually left themselves.

Copied compromising data (the company was stealing intellectual rights of another company) to a USB stick, waited 2 years after I left the company.

Then I sent the evidence anonymously to said other company. They got f****d a bit and had to pay up.

I live a happy life.

Worked for Cutco in h**h school. My boss said that there would never be a grad party that was actually fun/missing work for.

We hired Voltaire" to perform live at my house for mine.

Side note: He's a severely underrated musician and *extremely* down to earth guy

By taking my pay in exchange for minimal effort. And then leaving them to suffer under the weight of their own incompetence by going elsewhere.

I quit. He begged me not to and I did. F**k him.

I resigned after getting a different job. They couldn't function efficiently without me. When they asked me to write down how to do my job for the next guy I didn't write down the very important and very complicated s**t. And there was a lot of very complicated s**t. I just wrote down 14 things that looked kindof complicated but wasn't that important.

They closed down 6 months later. I ran into a coworker after the close and she told me things started falling apart after I left and it kept getting worse and worse until they were constantly hobbled because things kept failing that I used to maintain and fix . I feel sorry for the 200 or so employees that lost their job but I was just a little pissed at the time.

I used to leave litter beside his car...

I put in my two-week notice and walked away with dignity because, as a professional and an adult, I deal with my issues in a mature manner and don't dabble in immature nonsense that could lead to burning important connections later down in your career ladder. You have no idea who knows who in this industry, better to act better than you feel.

I banged his daughter for about a year and a half.

Warn anyone who works near me what she is like, most of the time its not needed they know already but I wouldn't want someone to be blindsided.

I was the employee from h**l.

F*****g stole everything I could get my hands on and that I needed that I also knew wasn't kept a terribly accurate stock take of.

Ensured all the edibles in the shop with consumable dates were checked and found to be faulty the day before inspection, requiring empty shop space to be created.

Actively encouraged shoppers to shop elsewhere. Actively disobeyed orders to make myself wander towards overtime just to scare them that I might somehow end up at over 40 hours for two weeks in a row, therefore making me full time de facto (terrifying though to them- they'd have to pay my medical. Gasp.)

Found creative and innovative ways to f**k up transactions where things would ring up or void halfway through. Nothing like taking a half hour minimum of them calling support after trying and failing to make it jive with their end of the day metrics. What did I care, I wasn't earning commission and was paid pennies by the hour.

Took as long of a s**t as I possibly could.

Left 1-star review for the shop through various sock puppet social media accounts mentioning employee morale.

The sad thing was I actually set their sales record for 3 months straight at peak season, when I gave a s**t. Then I realized how bad our products were, how s****y our policies were, and how badly we as employees were getting f****d over, and I bailed.
