There's nothing we love more than seeing an employee get their righteous vengeance. The one thing this employee needs to do is keep a wary eye out for that manager on down the road. Outside of that, good riddance, Eva. 

Those frightening litigious letters are super effective when companies insist on being cheap and criminal jerks. This guy's wife got fired, and the dentist's office wouldn't make good on her last paycheck. Fortunately, they were able to get the issue resolved. 

Man, oh, man, it sounds like this particular management team was terribly detached and clueless. They continued to send in uniformed representatives, as their company was proactively losing money, and wasted a whole lot of time when they could've actually resolved the issue. All that it took to set the whole thing in motion was one employee strictly following their contracted hours. 

The moral of the story with this pro revenge is that one does not fire the guy who knows all the stuff. In this case, the manager sounds like he was an incompetent fool with a chip on his shoulders from the get. It's no surprise that his whole team was disbanded in short time, after he fired the wrong dude. 

In a stunning display of pig-headed incompetence, these clients managed to bust their budget on ridiculously bad designs, to the point that it cost Karen her job. For some other wild Karen behavior, here's an HOA Karen who complained about guide dog training. For some unprofessionalism, here's a customer who got mistaken for a job applicant, then the interviewers break the law.

Not every job or role is as noble, omnipotent, or even as useful as they always seem to be. There are sketchy secrets in tons of industries, from how you're being charged to who exactly is on the other end of the phone. It can be a little unsettling to know how people actually feel about their own jobs, but it's not exactly shocking.

This fun Tumblr thread shines light on the crazy kinds of results that can be achieved through some good old-fashioned "social engineering." It's basically a clever way of breaking the rules, and relies heavily on people not double checking complete fabrications pulled right out of thin air. Fun stuff. 

Oh man, this guy literally brought the walls in around his previous employer, until he'd basically starved him of hiring opportunities. This revenge seems cold and calculated, and like it wasn't rushed. Patience can absolutely pay off in the long run. 

Twitter user _danilo uses an example from Star Trek to explain some of the dangers of having an industry that lacks face-to-face interaction with its own workers. It's scary enough to imagine your job being done by a cold, calculating robot, but what if your boss's job was done by a cold, calculating robot? For something with more Star Trek fun and less technocratic dread, here's an awesome Tumblr post on how hard humans go in Star Trek.

"Hey, all you told me to do was change the sign, it's not my problem that now it just says "Sign Changed." For every person who's good at their job, it seems like there's someone out there who's incredibly good at not doing their job. The resulting "not my job" moments are a testament to buck-passers everywhere.

We love a good tale of a nasty manager getting theirs in the end. This particular manager sounds like a grade A bully. The manager exercised zero empathy for an employee going through a heartbreaking loss. On top of displaying zero human empathy, the manager proceeded to make the devastated employee's life miserable by blatantly targeting them for a whole bunch of nothing. Fortunately, the employee was able to get HR involved, and ultimately put together enough evidence that ultimately contributed toward the manager's ultimate downfall. 

Check out another glorious tale of revenge with these naive young business owners that foolishly fired the man with the patents.

Owners that go and short change their hard working employees to save an extra buck, are the worst. Just play by the rules and nobody has to suffer. Fortunately, we think this owner learned their lesson. 

In this day and age, it's sadly rare that people actually enjoy what they do. It also makes you wonder if it's not necessarily the job but the type of person and their outlook that makes their job worth it. Interestingly enough, it's often not the jobs that look fun that grant the most satisfaction. Here are some jobs that look fun but aren't.

This person was just trying to get their machine repaired when some less than professional employees ended up trying to interview them, then reject them from said job. Kind of a strange situation for a customer to be in. For a customer who made it further up the fake professional ladder, this dude impersonated a store manager to boot a horrible customer.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about employees' most insane first days on the job. Sometimes we turn up bright eyed and with a heart full of excitement for that new gig, only to learn (too late) that we've walked into a flaming disaster. This is why it's real important to keep a wary eye out for those red flags when looking for a new job.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about window cleaners' most memorable experiences on the job. For whatever reason, we have a knack for forgetting that people can peek through our windows if we don't have the blinds down. And on top of that, that certain buildings hire certain professionals to clean those windows. From there, it quickly becomes clear that so many of us can be complete animals when we think that nobody is watching.
