know when the next video goes live our first story today comes to us from jock bbc boy wiggity wiggity whack boss wouldn't pay me back bippity boppity boo ended his job and marriage 2. let's jump right in when i was in college i had a minimum wage job in a bargain retail store i worked in the warehouse around a lot of older guys and the job required heavy lifting usually 75 to 250 pounds of pallets and boxes i started off working in the warehouse and it motivated me to start lifting weight seriously i lost 25 26 pounds over the course of my first six months there by working out solo at the campus gym however most of my co-workers were older guys i was 23 24 at the time with whom i had very little in common i rarely talked to anyone else but i did want to be seen as one of the cool guys so it was strange but an honor when the manager of the fleet of delivery trucks we'll call him victor approached me at work one day and started conversing with me victor was older 45 i think but he was well respected by everyone in the warehouse he dressed well and seemed pretty fit in the course of the conversation we discussed lifting weights together and invited me over to his home gym one day we exchanged phone numbers and agreed to lift together on a friday when his wife we'll call her nora was at work i showed up at his house with one of my favorite t-shirts on and victor was shirtless he suggested that i lift with no shirt too i felt uneasy about it and said no victor snatched my shirt by the left sleeve and pulled it until it ripped he apologized promised to buy another shirt for me and i had to lift with no shirt on we worked chest and triceps but throughout the lift i felt uncomfortable victor kept touching my chest and my stomach he said it was to focus i kept pushing it to the back of my head but i declined to go inside victor's house i left my ripped shirt at his house in the garage where his weight set was located over the next few days the awkwardness increased victor asked during phone calls if i had a girlfriend if i was having sex regularly if i watched certain videos he ran into me in the break room at work during my lunch break and would always sit close to me just to talk about really personal stuff i learned that his wife was a pastor at a prominent church that she made more money than victor and that nora did not believe in sex outside of procreation when i asked about my shirt being replaced victor always said he had money problems i ended up replacing the shirt myself later victor invited me over again to work out with him i wore a tank top that time victor asked me to take it off i did and during the workout mentioned that he was behind in his electric bill he asked to borrow 40 dollars and said that he and his wife were having a rough patch so he couldn't borrow from her like a gullible idiot i went to the nearest bank withdrew the money and put 40 dollars in victor's hand after our workout he promised to pay me back at payday payday came and went but victor's presence did not i received late night after 10 pm phone calls from victor when i answered he would sound drunk and talked endlessly occasionally talking about my body i stopped answering his calls and got voicemails from him also sounding drunk asking me to call him back when i confronted victor at work to stop calling me and pay me back two days after payday he told me he would pay me back next payday and that he just really needed a friend to talk to i felt badly agreed to wait but also made up an excuse of how i couldn't lift weights with him he didn't pay me back the following payday either but victor did send me a thread of pictures with his shirt off in his underwear and nude all within the week of payday when that third payday came victor avoided me at work the revenge infuriated with his harassment and not being paid i went to facebook the day after payday and found victor's wife's facebook page and her church's facebook page i created a gmail account with victor's full name then created a facebook page with his first name and last initial and uploaded all of the photos he had sent me then i friended his wife and the church's facebook pages set all settings to friends only level privacy and logged out that same night i called our company's ethics hotline and left a voicemail tip mr victor freeze is drinking very heavily and making lewd comments to co-workers and customers please look into this within a week victor was fired not only had he been drinking on the job and sometimes come to work hungover he had been using corporate gas cards to fuel his and his wife's vehicles he was arrested during his shift and several employees saw him walked out in handcuffs i unfortunately didn't victor called me drunk again from his hotel room after his wife kicked him out of their house not satisfied with this level of revenge i recorded victor's voicemails into a handheld recorder i had bought for my college classes i mailed the recorder using victor's home address as the return address to his wife's church and marked it as attention nora freeze press play then i changed phone numbers i haven't heard from victor in years but his firing was the talk of the store for months i read the title and i was sold in the post it said he was old he did a bad thing his wife took the ring revenge is a dish best

let's jump right in this happened to me about 20 years ago while in college i am being deliberately vague because reasons background i got a job basically office sitting on weekends i showed up at 8am and every hour i checked over things handled the occasional phone call and then left when the 4pm person arrived most of the time i read watched tv or played games on my laptop i probably worked no more than 10 minutes of every hour unless something went wrong it went on like this for years the pay was decent holidays were double pay and i even had opportunities to cover weekday shifts when others were sick one day while i was covering the midday shift my boss asked me to come into his office he told me that the evening weekday position was going to become available that night he offered me the position which i accepted i was told to punch out and return at 5 pm that night the reason it went down like this should be obvious things went okay for a while i showed up at 4 pm did the normal things and then left at 12 am when my relief arrived it was a little more work more call volumes etc then after nine months things started to go south the daytime person developed a huge attitude problem and went from a nice person to a total karen she would complain about everything i did for example one time a system jammed up at a remote site and she called them five hours later i saw the jam was still there so i called that site again to see if they were still working on it or if something else was wrong because the woman on our end who would be the one to help them was leaving soon they did have a problem and so i hooked them up my reward for making sure the problem got solved and not having to bother an upper level employee at home on a friday just after having left work i got yelled at because karen complained that i had apparently ignored her log entry about the issue my defense was ignored the boss had me highlight important things on the log to verify that i had read them things plotted on for a while with this new normal i tiptoed around karen when needed thankful for the fact i only had to deal with her for no more than 5 minutes i did the stupid highlighting thing and my log entries started getting more and more detailed even referencing karen's calls when i had to follow up on an issue that cross shifts the firing the following summer just after i crossed the year mark i went on vacation to visit some friends out of the state when i got back after about a week my boss came down after everyone had left and had me describe how i did a certain task which involved certain updates i explained to him how i did it and so forth he then told me that i had not been doing it at all and that he was firing me i had transposed the date code of the english file for the french file which was the previous one the newest one had already been applied anyways so nothing was wrong it was just a reason to get rid of me so i left the office my state is an at will employment state which means that i can quit at any time for any reason and my employer can terminate me at any time for any reason the only exceptions were state and federal laws such as race religion etc i thought i was screwed so i just started applying everywhere i could during my job search i happened to accidentally stumble upon a link about employment law out of curiosity i read it and discovered that my employer had shot themselves in the foot in the employee handbook there was a job security clause what this stated was that they would never lay us off and such if our jobs were eliminated we would simply be retained and sent to fill an opening elsewhere in the company it sounds good but it resulted in them cooking up reasons to fire people to get around it but their fancy high-priced lawyers had missed something in my state's laws the ones passed by the legislature i was screwed because of at will what they neglected was case law the ones determined by courts this site cited a case from the state supreme court that had ruled that a job security clause waived at will on the employer side turning it into a just cause relationship this means that they had to have a real reason to fire me the revenge with that in hand i sought out a lawyer after my consultation with her i set about collecting my evidence my former boss did not realize that i knew more about this program than he did seeing as i ran the same software on my own computer and laptop i experimented the date of the file which they tried to use against me is baked into the version i was able to demonstrate to my lawyer that if i applied the same update over and over which my former employer stated would change the date every day would in reality display the date of the file i showed this by backdating my own copy by a year using the update archive available from the vendor next i showed her how the task used to be automated a script would snag the file and process it every day on its own a change on the vendor's site broke the script it was an easy fix but no one bothered to do it because the guy who had wrote it retired the fix involved deleting three characters on one line in the script the task was also marked as only being a weekday task in my firing i was told how important this update was and so forth if it was so important why was it not done on weekends or holidays the vendor pushed out updates on those days too as i showed my lawyer the ones from christmas morning and why had the automation not been fixed with all that in hand she contacted them after presenting them with the law they broke and all the evidence i had collected they were forced to settle with me so in the end their fancy high-priced lawyers did not do their homework i did thank you to the wonderful librarians i have known in my life who taught me my information literacy skills they paid dividends in this case this story just proves that you should do your research and know your rights when it comes to employment law now down in the comments section there was another story from another redditor named weak soul it says i hate people who try to stick it to you for no good reason other than they're so crap that they have no other way to try and sling mud at everyone else i worked in a factory where i shared duties with one other person this was a shift pattern where we continually alternated one week monday to friday the following week friday to sunday we were paid overtime on anything we did extra even 15 minutes on the end of our shift now i'm not a charity and i ain't a snitch unless i've good cause see the woman i worked this pattern with would moonlight at a bar picking up the odd shifts to complement her regular pay i was in effect doing similar too volunteering at a place where i could hobnob with the folks in the industry i was trying to get into the issue was this woman would regularly pick up the thursday shift which was a really busy karaoke night and by her own admission an earlyish finish which meant she could get pissed with the regulars after weirdly enough she seemed to have a lot of sickness on fridays especially after she'd worked monday to thursday now friday was a busy day for a few reasons but not least because both of us were supposed to be in so certain tasks were scheduled for then and operations involving other people or certain aspects of quality were tailored to fit around this there were too many jobs for one person to do in the regular day now at the time i'd graduated uni was back living in my garbage town that i thought i'd escaped with no plans or expectations for my future with my parents who as nice as they are still expected me to abide to the limited freedoms i'd had before the sex drugs and rock and roll a very average undergraduate degree permits i was also in the messy death throes of a now long distance relationship as a result i was a very unhappy bunny so work and gym were literally the only things i did the point is i didn't really mind sure the place was a crap hole when i got crapped on that first day sure there were loads of stuff undone on the task sheet we had to sign off on but f it it's all overtime baby this woman also had a habit of trying to demean you it was low level and mostly one-to-one but it effed me right off given that she was lucky to be there and i felt i was hitting well below my potential even as a graduate i was essentially the lowest paid employee given that the others were either management or had to work nights so received night shift pay however one day we had an inspector come in and she remarked on a particular intricate task that i'd done and said it was done expertly well that was red rag to a bowl for this woman oh it's the only thing they teach them at college in my country it's called university college is the thing two years before that yet another little dig anyway i go on leave for a few weeks and the cow can't pull her usual stunt of bunking off and having me cover obviously our space in the factory was hell by the time i got back i guess me going away pissed her off loads because when i came back my boss who was a nice bloke but also a friend of this woman's sat me down and said air i know she shouldn't have and i've told her off for it but while you were away woman went into your pigeon hole and pulled out your timesheet it seems like you've been doing a lot of overtime and woman was going on about how she doesn't need to do overtime and that maybe you should speed up like her what do you have to say about that now this was the first time anyone had ever complained about me in the workplace so i was kind of blindsided i just sort of said that there were a lot of things to do and some days were busier than others and then i actually thought about why i'd had busy days and told the boss well obviously it's difficult to manage when you're continuously down on a friday then i showed him the logs of all the jobs we do and how my initials appeared twice as many times as hers regardless of what shift we were on now as i said boss man wasn't a bad guy in fact turns out boss man was such a good guy that woman had previously worked in this very same factory years before i started but had some personal problems which ended up in her getting fired for missing days and not pulling her weight apparently the boss stuck his neck out for her and after she'd promised him she'd sorted her life out re-hired her under the strict warning she'd not pull that crap again after checking over her leave to confirm what i was saying they started disciplinary procedures that would pretty quickly get her fired again it wasn't straight away but her trying to make me look bad really backfired on her the job paid reasonably if you consider the hours and the fact she'd left school at 16 and was working a job advertised as graduate entry soon after this all came to light i left to do a masters course before she actually got fired but the girl who replaced me couldn't have been nicer and i think the bosses took extra care to not have another employee want to leave because of this woman that wasn't my reason but i'm pretty sure they believed it was given the timings weirdly enough i get a text from her about two weeks after leaving work wanting to know my address she has been banging on incessantly towards the end about her wedding so i texted her back my address and sure enough she's invited me to the whole day needless to say that went in the bin and i never heard from her again it blows my mind how oblivious some people can be so she did wrong she got fired the boss brought her back and she did wrong again and got fired again you can already tell she's pretty clueless from that but the wedding invitation was definitely the icing on the cake thank you to all three ops for posting their stories in the pro revenge subreddit they are linked in the description down below please go check them out
