This company managed to track down the Facebook activity of a discontented employee. The employee has posted a meme making fun of using company time for bathroom breaks, cause they made all the money while he didn't make sh*t. From there, the company calls him out, fires him, and then digs a deeper hole (for themselves) by blowing the whole thing further out of proportion.

It's remarkable how many of these revenge stories begin and end with the ultimate demise of one power tripping boss. When the power starts getting to that boss' head and they mess with the wages, they better be ready for the employees to revolt with the kind of revenge that ultimately sinks their ship. In this case, one simple phone call sinks the whole operation.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest PR stunts and promotion blunders they'd ever seen by companies. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with failure. Can't beat the Life Lock CEO who accidentally leaked his social security number to tons of people.
Companies and institutions around us like to impose inconvenient rules for dumb reasons. Companies will make you wear uncomfortable hats. Colleges will make you comply with unfair printing fees. It's a minor, but meaningful success when you can get revenge within the rules and beat them at their own game.
A woman working HR asked Redditors in a recent AITA thread, whether or not she was a jerk for wanting to reject a qualified candidate on the grounds that this person hooked up with her cheating ex-fiancé. Sounds like a solid case of conflict of interest, and that everyone would be best served moving forward down separate paths. Can't imagine this hiring would make for a healthy workplace environment.
Keep an eye out for these subtle signs that your boss is working at setting you up for failure. This panicked employee's story serves as an important case study of what it might look like when your boss is setting you up to fail. Who does that?! Not someone you want to find yourself working for.
This woman's panicked story about showing up to a job interview after a rushed, productive morning is the stuff of nightmarish fever dreams. Seriously. Even then, it makes sense. We get caught up in the motions of our day, and sometimes through that movement we forget to look down and confirm that we are, in fact, carrying said motions out with pants on. I want to take a moment to commend her for returning the coat hanger too. That alone is a green flag for a company considering hiring her!

The CEO of Pooch Patch, made a potentially fatal error when they applied their roast game, to addressing a dissatisfied customer. There's a time and a place for that spicy banter, and there are lines we're best served to NOT cross. In this case, the fallout would seem to be very real.
Sunny Delight hit the Twitterverse with a rather somber Tweet. It would seem they found themselves in a dark place, temporarily robbed of the sunshine, warm light, and love of life. Fortunately, competitor brands, seized the moment to put aside differences, and step up to put on a show of positive support for Sunny Delight, to pick their heads up. So well, here we are, finding ourselves with a faith in humanity temporarily restored.
