If You're Not Executives I'll Not Come To Your Meeting Because I'm Your Boss! r/PettyRevenge

welcome to r petty revenge where we share stories of small victories over those who have wronged you the first story is i'm send off my companion to destroy our common enemy a-hole manager the second story my manager will be left without food because he's constantly laid the third story annoying co-worker got a spoiler for her favorite series today's first story is a-hole manager drops belligerent customer in my lap without warning and gets what's coming to him back when i was still a teenager you could usually find me running the electronics department of a big name retailer one particularly slow night in early december i'm standing at my counter and the phone rings it looked like a call was being transferred to me from a manager's extension normally when a call was transferred you'd speak with the other employee briefly who would generally explain why the call was being sent to you during this time the customer would be on hold and once the employee hung up the recipient would then be connected to the customer when i'm reading these stories sometimes i find it hard to keep track of all the names if they're just initials so in this story i'll be me and the customer will be papa bear or papa b for short i pick up the phone and immediately hear a click me hello papa b um who is this me i'm too good from the electronics department is there in a tone that screams anger management and blood pressure pills i hear papa bee are you have been kidding me why the f am i talking to you the manager said he'd have someone help me the a-hole manager will be referred to as a man me well sir i don't really know what's going on but if you let me know what the problem is i'll do what i can to help papa b i can't believe this so a man just dumped me on you without explaining anything me it definitely looks that way papa b i've already explained the situation to two other people i really don't want to explain it again to a third person me well i'm sorry you've had to deal with that sir but i wasn't involved before but if you let me know what the problem is i promise i'll do everything i can papa b sounds defeated but starts to explain the problem papa b a few months ago me and my wife did all the christmas shopping for our kids and family then put everything on layaway i called in today to cancel one of the items and the layaway girl says that my entire order is missing after that i spoke to a man who told me all he could do for me was refund my money he didn't even bother looking for it himself and to put it nicely when i told him what i thought of him and his sh customer service skills he said he'd transfer me to someone that could help him and here we are me wow well i'm so sorry you had to deal with that i'll tell you what i'm guessing you still have the receipt so if you don't mind read off each item and i'll check the layaway department or see how much i can find let me have your number and i'll give you a call back and say about an hour or so after getting off the phone with papa b and thinking what an absolute d a-man was for putting me in that position i walked over to the layaway department and just as he said the gifts he and his wife had selected were nowhere to be found the next best thing i could do is to grab a cart and see how many of the items i'd be able to find in stock luckily i found all but two or so so an hour or so later i'd give him a call back to give him the good news and let him know that all of his items were tucked away behind my counter safely if he wanted to he could cancel the layaway first then i'd discount all of his purchases he's extremely happy about this news and also very apologetic about how he was speaking when i first picked up the call which i just dismissed because a it was completely understandable and b it wasn't directed at me an hour so later i get a visitor papa b hi are you the person i spoke to on the phone about the layaway problem me yes nice to meet you he reaches out to shake my hand and is just being super gracious and apologized again i get him rung up and i believe i gave him a 10 discount on each item which is as much as i was permitted to i believe this was a while ago so some details are fuzzy papa b hey so how do i get in contact with someone to let them know how helpful you were and if you're still reading wondering where the petty revenge is it was at this moment i had an idea normally we were just supposed to give customers a phone number to call for complaints or praise but where's the fun in that papa b obviously has an anger issue and i really wanted to see what would happen if he met up with a man me actually if you wanted to you could speak to my manager about it this time of day he should be at the customer service desk you've actually already spoken to him if you wanted to say something to a man he'll be the only big guy up front with gray hair can't miss him the extreme change in expression on papa b's face that immediately followed i can only describe as a clint eastwood squint that morphed into some kind of demonic smile i could actually see his skin change to a reddish tone as he said the following to be honest it made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end this was one intense effort papa b oh is that so slowly turned away without another word pushing his cart with a slow deliberate purpose i wanted nothing more than to run up to the front to watch what was about to unfold but unfortunately i had another customer to ring up a few moments after i finished with the next customer that's when i first heard it i couldn't make it out first since it was the other side of the store but i knew what it was a-man was getting screamed at i quickly made my way a bit closer to the action so i could make out what was being said and see them practically nose-to-nose with a-man backed up against the customer service counter trying to lean out of the biting range of papa b i only wish i had been there for the entire conversation but the following is what i was there for and could make out to be honest some of it was unintelligible also note this took place in front of a dozen or so slackjaw employees and a number of customers papa b what effing idiot put a worthless fat f like you in charge of an effing store that kid in electronics should be running this place and you should be working for him you didn't even warn him you just hung up before explaining a gd thing didn't you you realized that when he picked up the phone i yelled and cursed at him an effing kid you have been coward letting a kid handle something you were too much of a pee to you see this cart i've been in this store for 15 minutes and he was able to make everything right there may have been something about squeezing out some customer service skills between his fat a cheeks as well but as i said some of it was unintelligible papa b then flipped him off mere inches from his face before walking out of the building a hero in my eyes it was the last time i saw him unfortunately for me it wasn't the last time i'd see a man right after papa b left a man customers and co-workers saw me with what was later described to me by a co-worker as the biggest sh eating grin i've ever seen a man never said anything to me about the incident but it was obvious he had it out for me after that i had another few run-ins with him before i left for greener pastures one quick one was that we would get 15-minute breaks before and after lunch he had the habit of taking much longer than 15 minutes and it peeved a lot of people off but since it was a manager people just put up with it i started the habit of trying to take my break while he was in the break room i'd ask him if he was taking his 15-minute break and asked how long he was into it for instance if he said he was five minutes into it i wouldn't leave until five minutes after he did the first couple of days i ended up taking 35 to 45 minute breaks because of him the last time he got a bit upset with me and said something like hey man you've been here for a while shouldn't your break be done by now me well we're both on our 15s and you said you'd been here for five minutes that means i have five more minutes after your break is over right he stopped taking long breaks after that or at least didn't abuse it in front of us if nothing else the next story is if you don't even bother to pretend to be professional neither will i i work for an amazing organization they have a wonderful mission they have pretty great employee perks and the people i get to work with are mostly incredible mostly my supervisor who's actually a director of my program takes advantage of the laid-back atmosphere of our workplace most days she comes in anywhere from 11 30 to 1 30 and leaves around 5. of course that's when she bothers to show up since august she's taken off 25 days and is embarking on a three-week vacation in december working with her is basically impossible because she generally only shows up about 10 minutes before scheduled meetings in the office and doesn't stick around long after them if you're not a superior or someone high up in the organization odds are that you won't even bother showing up to the meeting you just confirmed with her the day before email might sound like a great workaround if you have questions or need to discuss something but with her one email and five gets replied to if she's in a good mood up until last week this was alternatively frustrating and amusing depending on how much sh i wasn't able to accomplish due to her on tuesday our program confirmed a meeting at 10 am and we needed her for several discussions so that she could approve a few paths going forward when 10 30 rolled around and she still hadn't arrived we just decided to hold a meeting without her as we often do she only shows up about half the time at 11 15 she emailed us saying she'd slept in and asked if we could meet again that afternoon again not too shocking until i noticed that she posted an instagram photo called productive morning while we were at her meeting it was a picture of homemade jams and kimchi that she'd obviously been canning while we were meeting evidently that sh was more important and more productive than meeting with us and subsequently wasting all of our time this past saturday i came into the office to get some work done while the office was quiet i walked into the kitchen to get some water and grab a snack and that's when i saw it a bag left in the fridge with her name on it and a please don't throw away i peeked inside and what was it two massive slices of cake from the expensive bakery near our office i wasn't even in the mood for cake but i brought those back to my desk and feasted like a king until i felt almost nauseous when she decides to show up for work today she'll probably be looking forward to a lunch followed by a decadent dessert and i hope i get to see your sad face when she comes back to her desk cakeless it was all in all a truly delicious revenge and the last story is next time you won't spoil a tv show for me years ago when game of thrones and the walking dead were still in their infancy i worked at a small delivery company as a driver i was generally only in the office for a few minutes a day as i was out in my truck making deliveries there was this disgusting receptionist working there when i say disgusting i mean that she was both a disgusting human being and looked like the bulbous guy from 300 that wanted to join the army she was racist homophobic rude and just generally a mean person since she sat at the front office she decided that yelling conversations across the room was the best way to communicate with anyone more than three feet away from her so one morning after the walking dead it aired i walked into the office and headed straight for her i knew she'd be spouting out spoilers about the show so i thought i'd let her know that i hadn't seen it and asked if she could wait two minutes until i left for the day until she had any spoiler-heavy conversations about it i wasn't the biggest fan of the show by any means and like most people i know stopped watching it after a few seasons but early on in the show's run i was still pretty into it apparently it's important that i point out that most people didn't stop watching the walking dead after the first few seasons as the numbers rose over time however most people i knew and arguably a lot of hardcore fans that were disappointed by the direction the show took stopped watching i approached her and asked if she was okay waiting to converse about the show but she just stared at me a dirty bent smile spread across her wrinkly face her meth had teeth dancing in the fluorescent light like broken little rocks on the seashore i guess you should have watched it last night she then turned to one of our co-workers and asked how they felt about a character dying in the episode last night continuing to spout out any spoilers she could possibly muster she looked back to make sure i was still standing there listening i froze in anger wondering how anyone could be such an a and plotting my revenge i stood by her desk staring at her as the folds in her hut-like face flap about like the wings of an overweight bird i thought about how much she loved game of thrones it was your favorite she talked about it all the time i asked her once if she read the books and she laughed at me like i was an idiot for having read a book at this point game of thrones was still following the plot of the book for the most part and i decided that this was how my revenge would be unfolded after making sure everyone else was out of earshot i tapped her shoulder and stared her dead in her lazy eye i then dropped every game of thrones spoiler i could possibly imagine surely ruining the next couple of seasons for this woman that hated spoilers more than anything she finally stopped smiling a blank unintelligent look on her face she forced a smile and said that's okay i don't care i could see the pain behind her eyes she cared she's yelled at someone once when they spoiled a minor game of thrones plot point she cared i shrugged my shoulders and turned to leave but before i did i looked back and said i guess you should have read the books the resident bog monster in my office never spoiled a television show for me ever again thank you for listening
