hey everybody rob here it's time for a story from the pro revenge archives revenge for the boss from hell 30k payable to me thanks let's jump right in hey did you know 57 of you guys aren't actually subscribed to the channel please hit that subscribe button for more daily reddit stories i worked for this small business it consulting firm for seven years owned and operated by a person we'll call dick first two years things were fine occasionally this guy would take things a little too far he was just passionate about his opinion and always had to be right so i'd always give him that i don't have to agree but i saw his need and left it at that what i started to discover however is the turnover for the company is a couple of years and i began to realize why the boss dick picks one worker and makes it his life's work to make that person as miserable as possible i'm guessing the reason ego purposes for months i'd hear him shouting all the time at this one guy the co-worker after leaving the meeting would go back to his office from where i had a view and i could just see the stress and misery in his face till finally i said to him what the hell man he's always given you a hard time here lately what did you do he didn't seem to know he confided in me right there the level of hell he's in and some of the things dick had said or done i couldn't believe some of the details he shared on what dick both said and did i felt things were embellished because people just don't do some of the things he said i would realize much later he was telling the truth as crazy as it sounded a few months later he finally found another job and left i talked to him a couple times a year and he always said it was the best choice in his life he ever made dick sites then narrowed onto me i can take a lot so for the next five years i took it he would insult me pretty much every day each day more and more colorful i didn't really care or take it home with me so it wasn't a problem for me for dick i would learn it was unrelated five years in i put in my notice because he asked me to get a couple certifications and if i did he would take care of me once i did what was requested he backed out of the agreement and played coy once he received my notice a couple months later he called me up within a minute begged me to stay it's important to note he only asked for two certifications i not only obtained those but an additional 14 on top of that each time he would tell me great job you'll be well taken care of he lied 16 times in total on this matter he matched the offer and increased my salary up another 15k not looking forward to starting a new job i decided to stay what i learned is i was a fool to do that and money isn't everything go where you'll be most happy best life advice i can give after this experience he left me alone for a couple months after that he wasn't in the office much either then a day struck his fancy to start things up again only he ran out of material my work is solid and he had no opportunity to criticize that the only method he had was bashing his ego and sarcasm around but he realized it had no impact on me here is a brief snippet of any given day of what it's like to be selected as his target he would communicate a problem he was having in length let's say he complained about his cell phone after he finished his story you would provide a helpful suggestion or advice from your experience in turn he would ask with an entitled and sarcastic tone if you were an expert on the matter and wanted to see those credentials i learned fast just never speak unless spoken to any comment or insult he made i would respond without emotion and just say okay because dick wasn't able to get a rise out of me the old-fashioned way he decided to create fictional content for a new direction our small company would go out to eat as a whole or just order in on fridays i ate half my sandwich and wrapped the remaining to take home he saw me with leftover food and claimed that i was taking home dinner on his dime anytime there was any leftover even a single french fry he'd be there with a magnifying glass for inspection to find any conceivable way to yell so on fridays i started packing my lunch i'd order a beverage and a side i'd finish the beverage and the side then eat what i brought if i didn't finish it he had no opportunity you could see his look of disappointment when he would scan my plate this went on a couple weeks he had no opportunity and couldn't complain he realized he failed again so then he came up with the next item the bathroom this i actually did a little research on and couldn't find anything legally i could do but anytime anyone would use the restroom he would blame me for the smell instead of hello when passing in the highway he would say did you use spray or did you light a match as hateful as he could but that was his normal it went much deeper than this more than i care to share but i honestly believe dick has a fetish on this topic which is why i looked into it legally it was just always on his mind and a little too important to him let's just leave the rest unsaid i must have visually tipped him off i didn't approve of this because he never got bored with it however i did at least get him to stop asking about if i use spray anytime i use the bathroom even to take a piss i'd use the entire can of air freshener this wasn't an easy task as i'd have to mask my face to empty that entire thing takes a while surprisingly to empty an entire can in a session one thing is for certain when i was finished someone used the spray and dick was buying a new can took about five weeks but i think he figured it out spending so much on spray he stuck to just asking about matches after that he even provided them in the bathroom one day we were out with a client the current topic at this moment was what is your favorite meal my answer was hot wings i could eat those every day dick jumps in his comment just think how bad the bathroom would smell most at table wouldn't get the context and direction of that comment but i knew he did this in front of a client in public while people are eating i almost walked out then i remembered he drove and it's a long way back plus dick is over 60 what kind of person knocks out a senior i had to chant that in my mind to keep control i never get pissed but after years this was the last straw i seriously pleaded with myself all day not to do it because i'd go to jail and he would win during this time period he also started playing with my money behind four to five months with reimbursement week late on paychecks stuff like that you ask where it's out he says next week you explain he already said that last week then he'd play koi i finished out the day without reacting somehow took everything i had but i'm not going to allow this to be unanswered that was dangerous and too close if he wants trouble i'll give it to him i will get even in a lawful way somehow then the idea came to me that night did my research and odds were in my favor that it could work i'm just going to mirror him until he fires me when he fires me he will have to pay half my current salary of 65k until i get a new job you know what i can live perfectly fine on 32 and a half k why not make him pay it out of his pocket 32 and a half k for everything he has said and done he would have to pay this over the course of six months or until i found a new job so my goal was to make him pay me 32 500 to be exact over six months as restitution for what he said at that table i read up on all the rules in my state for unemployment each state is different but basically to qualify for it it can't be your fault if you were fired so if i stood there and told him where to put it that's a no-go however if i was laid off i would qualify so i hit him where it hurt first his favorite thing in the world is meetings because he loves to hear himself talk and take you step by step through his thought process with a noble tone congratulating himself for his thinking and why his way is the best way so i started speaking up and illustrated a more efficient way that cost less he would argue sometimes red in the face mad especially if others in the meeting liked my idea he knew he was wrong but he would dismiss them and demand it be done his way i then started talking about him within earshot on purpose i'd say things like make sure you perform that dick's way takes longer but it's better than him releasing the kraken it would make everyone laugh but it wasn't a direct insult trust me when i say this guy has a massive ego and i was counting on this for pissing him off i laid it on thick in time it took its toll i knew it did because what came next his retaliation was the kitchen sink he had nothing so he started accusing me of things then playing coy when it came to reviewing the details or facts he would put words in my mouth i'd state he was wrong and then he would tell me i was all he was doing was opening the door so he could play a revengeful sarcasm game i know it's a game so i decided to take his new toy away from him by just going along with whatever it is he said which further made him mad because what he was doing had no effect on me fast forward six months yes i'm still working there but we're only receiving a couple calls a day which are 15 minutes each this was due to dick's bad business decisions while i took delight knowing he was hemorrhaging money for months i was hoping for a layoff to execute my plan nothing i have to make him want to fire me it's the only way i have to beat him at his own game while providing the illusion he is in control so i turned up the heat i was asked to travel to a client by the second in command i said i'm sorry man i haven't received reimbursement in six months for travel expenses and i just had my work cell phone service turned off with the way business is right now things aren't looking good i'd be stupid to take on more expenses and i'm owed over two thousand dollars as it is once that's paid in full i'd be more than happy to continue on a week-to-week basis after reimbursements that day dick had a meeting with me and set up a payment plan to pay the money back after 3 weeks it would be paid so i said to dick understood after 3 weeks i'll be on the road again cool just making sure he understood because he wanted to play games and not pay the amount in full dick is now going to pay me my salary for 3 weeks to do nothing until the reimbursement fee is paid guy has a several million dollar house goes on vacations has a boat etc out of all the things i've done so far this had made the most significant impact because i outwit him at his own game it embarrassed him in the eyes of others why because the second of command was instructed to drive me anywhere i was needed so i had my own personal taxi driver for the few calls we had over the next two weeks two weeks he paid two people me and the admin to drive and watch me work i was friends with the admin and he knew exactly what i was doing and he loved every second of it then on the third week three days until the final payment it happens dick enters my office and gives me the demeaning dog wave gesture to follow him without speaking we sit down and he asks me what the problem is i told him the problem is he needs a new hobby in one hand you have someone sitting here that busted his ass for the last seven years in the other your need to bash someone's face in the dirt with your ego the problem with me is i won't conform and provide both he asked for some examples i said you know what i'm talking about and even if i did review them you'd play coy he then played coy about being coy i laughed after a pause he said if you feel that way why didn't you speak to me about it i reminded him that i did twice and both times you humiliated me for it and said this is i.t what the i.t career that i've done the last 20 years had to do with his ego i'll never know he responded with i'm behind the times my work has been poor and out of the kindness of his heart he gave me a raise after i demanded it i responded with okay then he finally said what i wanted to hear i want to call it quits i remained professional and communicated i'm sorry things didn't work out and spent the next two hours reviewing stuff with co-workers on how to handle certain things i shook his hand with a smile and left without saying anything negative the fruit of my labor will do the talking for me shortly in root on the way home i called my family members to tell them the good news everyone was so happy for me it finally happened when i arrived home i promptly adjusted the dates on the unemployment forms i had filled out already in wait and submitted them i called the state and confirmed everything was documented on my end accurately and now it's the waiting game my plan wasn't realized until my boss received the letter in the mail about a week later stating he's going to have to shell out my salary for the next 6 months or until i find a job panicked at this point he realized what i set him up for so he claimed he fired me for poor work performance the state said okay prove it in this state it's the employer's burden to prove it my record had no blemishes and he couldn't use a client because a number of people at any given client would vouch for me and the truth as they all liked me and appreciated my work realizing the [ __ ] storm he's in now i'm told from the admin friend that he was on the phone with them quite a while twisting and turning the fake stories out bottom line the state needed to see documented verbal and written warnings signed so he couldn't fake them he called his lawyer and his lawyer told him he's screwed later my boss told co-workers he felt bad for me that i couldn't find work and he decided to give unemployment to me to save face of his ego that made official that his ego was affected he didn't want anyone to know the truth at this point he realized i got the better of him when i fought back and i won big in a last ditch effort he lied about how much i make the state sent me paperwork stating this fact and asked me to prove my salary so i gave them copies of checks and pay stubs for the last 6 months after that things went easy he was flagged for lying which made the remaining steps effortless the state rep told me for the reason i was terminated i said dick the owner made some poor business decisions that impacted the company losing business and clients he let me go as a business decision in his shoes i'd have done the same and understand i wrote it that way for a reason but dick didn't realize why i knew what his reaction would be the state saw a down-to-earth guide that was honest and understanding on paper then they saw dick's predicted response of being a dick most likely yelling and of course lying i had no doubt that would seal the deal simply on the evaluation on character before the facts even entered into it his reaction being his ego had to take it up the ass once for failing as a businessman another for me saying so on state paperwork and lastly accepting that i got the better of him and all this time i have been coaxing him to make this move the only thing left to do is pay me every single week and his money goes to the state first then the state sends it to me so he can't play games with my money or the state is coming after him over the next six months i took that time to enjoy myself pursue hobbies and lived life to the fullest on his dime as a reward for his comment once the letter came to renew unemployment dick would no longer have to pay or only a percentage i forget the important thing to know is taxpayers would have to pay after six months not dick so i declined the renewal three weeks later i had a new job it was either that or knock him out during that lunch it wasn't easy took work but i'm proud of the way i handled it i feel vindicated it's pretty rare the world is balanced evil often wins but not this time this time it cost dick 32 500 to be exact all in all i can say 10 out of 10 would do it again due to his age i can't imagine that it would be a humbling experience at this point but it was for me money isn't everything there's only one thing of true value your happiness a year later i'm very happy now i enjoy my new job and my new boss i discovered myself again who i really am the goofy friendly guy my light is no longer dimmed by a dark presence and i can be myself without punishment i'm loving how this story included some malicious compliance along the way like emptying out the whole can of spray in the bathroom that was so well done i'm glad opie is in a much better spot now though and i wish op nothing but the best in the future i'd like to thank op for posting their story to the pro revenge subreddit you can visit them at the links in the
