If you’re in need of a workplace story with a happy ending, it doesn’t get much better than an entire department uniting with the goal of ousting their boss. The fact that it was a success is one thing, but the fact that the Redditor managed to get herself a promotion (her former boss’s position, no less) is another. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/ProRevenge subreddit, and if you’re currently stuck in a job with an awful manager who lashes out and threatens you and/or your coworkers, feel…

There are plenty of petty revenge stories out there, but rarely do you come across a true revenge tale that ends with someone getting both fired and arrested.

Local parking enforcement agencies might be the root of all evil. Whether it's the local transport agency, council, or city government, as soon as that organization is responsible for parking, you can guarantee they will use bogus tickets, blatant hypocrisy, and outright bullying to ensure they can bleed as much money as possible from the population. But I should clarify that I'm biased here. If you've been reading these posts for a while, you might already be aware that I have a particular bon…

Some people think that their continued manipulative or abusive behavior will go unchecked. Often, they've been getting away with it for so long that why would they have any expectation otherwise? Well, whether it's finally writing an attitude check that's too big to cash or simply pure karmic justice… it catches up with you eventually. This horrible manager finally got her just deserts for her continued harassment and micromanaging of a team member. The team member had joined the company in a l…

A Karen and a plane, name a more iconic duo… The frequency that the two can often be found together is regrettable. Having some entitled and insane individual with you when you're locked in a pressurized cylinder hurtling through the sky at nearly 600mph (for several uncomfortable hours) is not an ideal situation to be in. But it must be something about that uncomfortable situation of flying that causes these emotionally infantile people to lose their slightest semblance of sanity. You know Sam…

A long-time housekeeper was used to putting up with her harsh boss, until her boss decided to entirely ignore her wedding day. As a housekeeper for 8 years, this OP was quite experienced putting up with Karens of all kinds. She dealt with Karen clients, as well as her boss, who could be “super rude and snotty." Despite this, the OP didn't mind her boss much of the time – she was just doing what she needed to do to get by. The entire time, she was watching a revolving door of employees, but she…

One guy tried to do the right thing in the aftermath of a car crash, but he ended up catching a shady dude in a legal trap. As u/bigcapper69 shared to r/ProRevenge, he got in a bit of a fender bender one night, and hit the mirror and door of another man's vehicle. This dude, Brent, seemed cool about the accident at first. Brent suggested they avoid insurance , which the OP agreed to. However, the OP was no dope. After not hearing any word from Brent, suddenly he demands about $2,400! The OP did…

One neighbor got so fed up with parking issues that he took a strategic approach that no one would ever forget. This person wrote that the story took place around 20 years ago, at a time when he lived in an apartment building with parking space for 16 cars. However, the OP, u/BrightRick, noticed that all of the sudden random strangers were taking up all this parking. The OP tried to get these cars moved through all the usual channels. They talked with police, who said there was nothing to be do…

As a renter, you're at the mercy of your landlord. One new renter found out the hard way that you have to be careful who you trust with your personal information… His terrible landlord found out that he and his wife were trying to be frugal while saving up for a home in the 1990s. But when the landlord discovered this guy's high salary, he suddenly decided to charge the OP and his wife a massive increase in rent, boosting their monthly payments by $500! As the OP, u/RockyMoose, writes to r/ProR…

It's often said that you shouldn't meddle with things you don't understand and, by extension, you shouldn't mess with the people who handle the things that you don't understand either. If you've managed to get a contractor in to handle something you can't or aren't willing to do or understand, and they deliver on that product, you'd do your best to pay them the agreed price. After all, we've already established you don't understand that thing, so why are you so certain you've got the upper hand…

If there's one thing that makes landlords drool, it's finding a way to keep your deposit—not that they'll actually use that money to fix anything before the next tenant moves in… Hell, the next tenant will be lucky if even their move-in cleaning fee actually gets used to clean the place up before they arrive. (It wouldn't be the first time a cleaning fee ended up in a landlord's pocket.) When things get ugly in a landlord-tenant relationship, it's always going to be the deposit that gets held o…

If there is any way to save a dollar and lose a fortune, this has to be it. When this new owner took over this company, all they could see were their immediate costs, and they decided that getting rid of all the top-paid employees was a top priority. There was no consideration made for what those employees might be contributing and what their unique strengths might be. So when the new owner decided to frame this top earner and hang them with a whole heap of lies… they set themselves up for a bi…

This long-time hotel clerk was familiar with his employer's rules — and he got the chance to use them against one customer who was entitled and rude. As u/Ancient_Ice shared to r/ProRevenge, he worked at a hotel franchise for some time. One day, he happened to come in for his shift and saw his coworkers were upset over the way a guest treated them. Surely guests can be demanding and harsh, but apparently this guest went above and beyond by screaming at the young employees. Since he'd been worki…

There's nothing like building up a small business with your boss only to have them sell it… leaving your job in the hands of a greedy egomaniac who cares about nothing except making good on their investment. This new owner will often think that they know how to run your business better than you and manage your clients better than you—all while downplaying your experience and contributions to “put you in your place.” This often results in an incredibly predictable outcome; without knowing the nu…

We all have daydreams about screwing over our former coworkers, right?

A nefarious plot by the CEO to lay off all workers at a big-box electronic store triggered a rebellion by the store's manager that would send the corporate entity reeling. Is this a plot line written by George RR Martin? Or a modern retelling of Robin Hood? You be the judge! When the employees of the store accidentally learned of this plot, it was a free-for-all. The manager was angered and made use of his discounting privileges to provide all employees with a once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree…
