EX BOSS Doesn't Realize He Was Being Recorded. CEO And HR Were Surprised And Shocked! - r/ProRevenge

welcome to r pro revenge this is the story of someone getting back at someone with pro revenge after being wronged thank you friends for subscribing to the channel and for so many likes and today's story is go ahead and undermine my credentials and hard work i'll just make sure people know who you really are this is my first post on this sub and it's also the first time i've actually gotten revenge on anybody whether it's petty or pro i'll leave up to you back story i'm 25 male and i work in the i.t department for my company rit department branches out into six smaller departments technical support programming web development computer system analysis i.t security and network engineering each of these has their own boss and the boss of these i'll answer directly to the director of the it department a couple weeks ago i was called into the director's office when i came into work she's an incredible person and mentor who i've mentioned in a couple of my other stories on other subreddits she told me that she had some good news and bad news the bad news was that she was offered another job at a much larger company as the i.t director of one of their branches in chicago so she'd be leaving in a couple of months the good news was that the position for it director of our company was open and given my performance and reputation around the office my immediate boss the head of computer system analysis had put my name in for consideration for the job each of the six department bosses in it had to put one name in for consideration so i have at least five other people who are competing for this job plus any potential outside hires it's for now but i'll get to that after our little chat i weighed the pros and cons of the job if i get it and i decided to just go for it i might have a pretty good shot at getting the job since i'd consider myself a fairly likable person a hard worker and fairly good at my job but there are others who are also very good candidates and i'd still be okay if i didn't get the job it's an honor just to be considered now let me tell you about the target of my revenge for the sake of this story let's call this guy gabe as the head of technical support gabe had the power to recommend anyone in his department for the position but he picked himself now i already knew him and what he's like because a year ago i also worked in tech support for a short time i was originally hired to be in the computer system analysis department but i volunteered to help out in tech support since we were a bit short-staffed at the time gabe is an obnoxious self-absorbed arrogant and uptight d who doesn't listen to anyone who he feels is beneath him he's either in his late 30s or early 40s but either way he has at least 10 years on me he's a little on the chubby side receding hairline and a neckbeard all he needs to achieve his final form is a fedora back when i worked for him he gave me a lot of crap for so many little things from not filling out repair tickets right to completing a repair slightly out of order he always had something to complain about but other than that he seemed fine to me to be honest i probably wouldn't have done what i did or gone as far as i did but then this happened i was just doing my work and minding my own business as one does i stood up to go refill my water bottle at the water fountain and guess who follows me if you said gabe then congratulations you get a cookie gabe walks up to me while i'm filling up my bottle and starts a conversation gabe hey op what's going on how are you immediately i knew something was wrong he's never this friendly but i had no easy way out of this so i rolled with it me hey gabe i'm good how are you gabe so i heard that head of csa's name put your name in for the director's job me yeah i'm really excited to interview it's an honor to even be considered gabe just laughs and puts on his normal expression of smug and gassy gabe listen to me if you think they're gonna pick you a lazy new kid who can't even write an effing repair ticket correctly over me a team manager who's had 15 years with this company then you're out of your gd mind i was shocked i couldn't believe those are actual words that a co-worker much less a co-worker with a higher position said to my face me what the heck why would you say that i did nothing but good work for you last year and you know it gabe it was mediocre at best when i become the i.t director i'm going to crack the whip why anyone would think someone like you is a worthy candidate for one of the highest positions in the company is beyond me so i'll make sure my new department heads have better judgment than head of csa's name he walked away smugly and i just stood there both shocked and honestly quite hurt the only party got right was that i was relatively new being there for two years but i also realized in that moment that i couldn't let this kind of person be the director but again i'm just a kid to them so what can i do planning the revenge the same day i went down to the building's cafeteria to take my lunch break with my girlfriend she works in the marketing department i told her about the promotion and what happened with gabe she made me feel better by talking me down and that was super nice but what happened next was even better a few of my friends from it walked by to congratulate me as well and they sat down a couple of them are from tech support and the rest of them are from the other departments my girlfriend welcomed them to sit down with us and we made it a little party we talked and then i told them about what happened with gabe the ones in tech support all groaned and surprisingly so did the rest of them i was intrigued and i asked them to elaborate and all of them have their own gay horror story turns out that his usual condescending remarks aren't the worst of it they had stories about him ripping into an intern for not getting his copy order right one story about him making transphobic remarks about an hr rep really sweet guy makes incredible vodka one of them has a couple of recordings of sexist and rapey comments towards the female department heads in i.t and he's even come to work intoxicated on multiple occasions although the last part wasn't really news to me since he reeked of alcohol frequently now at this point you're probably asking the same question my girlfriend asked why don't you tell somebody well i'll tell ya our communication policy is kinda s h and i t rather than report a dispute or an issue immediately to hr or the director we have to give it to our immediate superior which in this case would be gabe for a lot of them you really think gabe's gonna rat himself out to the director as much as i love my boss and think she's doing a wonderful job that's the one policy that she has that i don't agree with at this point we had all kind of bonded over our mutual hatred for gabe we had all agreed that gabe would be an absolutely terrible boss and we needed to stop him we were the avengers and this was our endgame which is funny since in-game would come out the next day just then my genius girlfriend said something that i couldn't believe i didn't figure out sooner she said you know this time next week you're going to be face to face with the ceo an hr rep and your director for the interview that's your opening you can air out all of his dirty laundry right there the rest of our faces lit up realizing this too and we were ecstatic this was our chance and we weren't going to waste it gabe is a terrible human being and would be an even worse director he had to go but i'd need proof first so that's what i got revenge time along with rewriting my resume and brushing up on my interview skills i spent the next week being something of an investigative journalist i asked my previously mentioned co-worker to email me those recordings he had of gabe's rapey comments which by the way were absolutely sickening to listen to i think the worst one was i'd love to raw her over the trashcan like the dirty w she is as well as spending time interviewing members of the tech support team as well as some of the other department heads almost everyone had some form of bad experience with them ranging from unprofessional to downright abusive behavior the head of web dev even said that she was always uncomfortable whenever they were alone in a room together by the time i was done i had three voice recordings of gabe four pages of quotes from people around the office and the stories i had originally heard at lunch that day when we began planning i really wanted to prove his whole day drinking thing but i was afraid that going that far might cost me my job but what i wanted to do is sneak into his office open his drawers and hopefully find empty liquor bottles or something to that effect but what i had would just have to suffice then the day came we were in the end game now i showed up to work the day of the interviews in my finest suit my resume and literal pages of evidence to make my case i walked into the office and saw my competition along with a bunch of other people who i didn't recognize those were the outside hires i was getting pretty nervous especially when i saw the interview committee in the conference room through its glass walls the ceo my director in an hr rep i took a few deep breaths checked when my turn was and then i sat down to do my work just waiting to make my move a few of my co-workers came by my desk to wish me good luck and that made me feel a lot better about it i waited and waited for my turn and then saw gabe walking up to me from the conference room so that means his interview must have just finished so i pulled out my phone and went to voice memos and began recording just in case i got anything more out of him and oh boy you bet i did me what's up gabe how was your interview gabe great obviously the job's as good as mine you might as well not even try me i'm still gonna try my best man who knows i might even get it gabe yeah keep dreaming he starts to get up in my face and i can smell his lunch on his breath too many onions he then starts hissing at me gabe you're absolute trash kid they're not gonna pick a kid with two years of experience with an undergrad degree over me i've been at this company for far too long and got my undergrad degree in my master's from princeton don't think for a second that you have the upper hand you're nothing on me i held my breath while he ranted and then he walked away to talk to another one of my co-workers who had their interview already co-workers around me just looked at me both shocked and confused once he walked away i grabbed my phone stopped the recording and played it back that was it that was the final piece i waited for a couple more interviews to finish until they finally called me in i grabbed my bag and my phone and walked into the conference room as i walked i could feel the eyes of some co-workers on me they knew my plan and i think they were counting on me to pull this off once inside we all shook hands in exchange formalities before sitting down and letting the interview begin not all of it is relative to the story so let me just skip to the end ceo given the amount of internships you've done and how much time you put into the company you may have a good chance however we've just interviewed people with almost triple your experience how do you stand out from the rest me well if i become the new director i already have some ideas for policies i'd like to put into place director oh really would you care to give us an example me don't get me wrong i believe that you've done an amazing job as director of this department but there are some things that i think can be improved upon for instance our policy when it comes to hr hr rep could you elaborate on that please me certainly in the it department when we have any disputes or grievances to settle we need to report them to our direct superior not the director but to the lower department heads my goal is to streamline communication so workers can report issues directly to the director go straight to hr director all right but can you tell us why the current policy is an issue i started smiling this was it this was my opening me funny you should ask recently i heard stories from a bunch of my co-workers about our head of tech support gabe he's been very rude to his staff and others on multiple occasions in fact i think unprofessional is a bit of an understatement from the stories i've been hearing right then i reached into my bag and pulled out the long list of stories and quotes i had gathered from the past week and handed them to the ceo me i care about my co-workers so i did some digging i really feel like this is something that you need to see i watched as the search committee read the quotes and stories i watched their expressions turned to shock and disgust which i totally get i felt the same way when i heard all of this hr rep this is a conflict of interest from what i know gabe is also your competition for this position how do we know that these stories aren't fabricated so that you could get an advantage because defenses like these could result in immediate termination i hope you have a way to prove these very serious accusations me i had a feeling you'd say that you're free to interview any of the people i quoted but i can just save you some time and show you this i pulled out my phone and opened up the email that my coworker had sent me and all four of us listened to this neckbeard's disgusting and upsetting quotes but i wasn't done there i also pulled up the most recent one the conversation between me and him my director just looked down at her desk and then they looked at each other i was the one to break the silence me i'm sorry you had to hear all of this ceo could you please email me those recordings i would like to address this immediately me of course you're free to keep those papers too i forwarded the email to him along with my recording director thank you for this information op let you know our decision when the time comes me of course thank you for your time i shook everyone's hand again and that's when the hr rep spoke up hr rep can you please ask gabe to come back i would like to address this immediately as well i'm ecstatic at this point me i would be happy to i leave the room and notice my friends in tech support just staring at me my girlfriend was also sitting at my desk since we planned on going out for lunch after my interview i didn't want to give anything away so i kept a straight face and walked past them in towards gabe's office i walked in inside me the interview committee wants to see you again gabe just looked up from his computer and just gave me a cocky smirk as if to say i told you so he got up and pushed past me towards the door i followed behind him towards the conference room and we parted ways when he went in and i walked towards my desk i wanted to see exactly what happened i watched what unfolded through the glass walls i saw gabe's face turn white and his expression turned from smug to terrified he turned his head to me and i had this sh eating grin on my face i just waved and left my office with my girlfriend to have a nice lunch the aftermath i was feeling pretty good about the whole day i got my revenge did fairly well in a job interview and had amazing chicken parm for lunch that day i felt so good that i decided to take the rest of the day off i went to the zoo saw a really cute koala bear the next day i came to work dressed down since interviews were over and then patiently waited for the committee to make their decision when i walked into the lobby of the building my two friends from tech support ran over and trapped me in a bear hug me well this is new what's this for friend one you did it me i got the job friend one no we wouldn't know even if you did we're talking about gabe me i stopped him from getting the job friend too oh you did a lot more than that but you'll have to see for yourself both of them drag me to the elevator to go up to the it floor when we get there they drag me through the main office and over towards gabe's when we got in all i found was an empty room with a desk in the middle of it my jaw dropped apparently i collected so much evidence for gabe's misbehavior not only did i eliminate him from gunning for the director's job but he was also fired from the company and potentially blacklisted since everything i submitted for evidence against him was put on his permanent file i'm not sure if he was blacklisted or not since i'm not entirely sure how that works but he's definitely gone for good i asked them about the details of what happened after i left they told me that gabe was so mad probably at me that his face was bright red after he left the conference room he spent the rest of the day packing up and drinking in his office so i guess my day drinker theory held up he left in shame and we won't see him again i was so excited gabe was gone and it felt like the office was a brighter place people were so excited that a few people outside the tech support department brought in a bunch of desserts from cheesecake to brownies they were delicious but i think that what made them taste better was that i did something to cause this rush of joy i think the best part of this whole thing is that only a couple of people know that i had something to do with this the rest of them totally clueless i'm not the protector that it wants but i'm the protector that it needs now enough humble bragging it's starting to make me feel like a d in hindsight i don't know what would have been more satisfying doing what i did or getting the job fair and square and firing gabe but if there's one thing i learned in life you will do things that you're proud of that you will enjoy and you'll do things that you're not so proud of but will really enjoy this doesn't apply i'm both very proud of this and i really really enjoyed this this might come back later to bite me in the a but for right now i think i'll enjoy it but now the director has to pick a new head of tech support either that or she'll give that job up to the next director it's been almost a few days since the interviews and we're still waiting on the results even if i don't end up getting the job i still gain something from this i have a better bond with my co-workers and got rid of the a-hole in my office if enough people like this story i'll update you on if i got the job or not moral of the story don't shoot an unfamiliar gun you don't know how strong the kickback's gonna be update i was called into the director's office this morning she told me it was a risky stunt that i pulled during my interview but it showed that i took the initiative to step up and address a problem regardless of the potential risk so i got the job i started crying when hearing the news and i'm still kinda in it i start training in a couple of weeks update number two so today's my boss's last day with us at the company i'm really sad to see her go but i'm also excited for the both of us since we're both moving on to bigger things i start my new position tomorrow and i'm both nervous and excited first order of business find a new head of tech support i hope you enjoyed this video and if you liked it don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications
