employee

Never underestimate the kinds of petty lengths people will go to in the workplace environment to make their power known, or get back at a particularly insufferable coworker. This collection of petty power moves are as impressive as they are just terribly petty. 

Karen power tripped a little too hard and made a big, unpopular authority flex. It just so happens there were a lot of employees around to maliciously comply with that authority she brandished so haphazardly. Misuse of authority can backfire, like this VP who got canned for pulling rank.

This mortified employee thought they had the restroom to themselves, so they figured it'd be a solid time to belt out some "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent. Unfortunately, as it turned out their boss was in there too, and queue up the heart beating outside the chest in a flurry of panic moment. 

This boss thought that they'd be able to play games with an employee who quite simply was more than ready to dish it back to them in true pro revenge fashion. And in this case, that pro revenge looks like the employee pretty much taking all of their clients. 

Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

Man, this boss was clearly blind to their own ignorant toxicity. If you're going to hire someone and pay them double the person that is training the new person, there is clearly a monstrous hole in your logic. And then for the employee to take that well warranted concern to their boss, and have it thrown right back in their face? Get out of there with that. Fortunately, it sounds like inconsiderate boss learned their lesson. 

Just watch out for when you try to take his stapler! Bob is an absolute legend. 

It's almost like these people wanted to get canned! 

Sometimes, the best course of action when it feels like the walls are closing in, and you're faced with a boss that insists on being a lousy human being, is to play out some good old malicious compliance. In this case, it sounds like it ended up working out for the employee. Even though they were fired, they basically got that paid vacation before they were able to start up with their new gig. 

Check out some more juicy malicious compliance with this boss who orchestrated their own downfall.

And that's why it pays off in the long run to document everything. This is a genuine professional revenge. You love to see it. If you enjoyed this tale of pro revenge, check out another glorious tale of revenge involving some incompetent managers who made the grave mistake of firing their all star employee.

He called that bluff like a boss himself. Hopefully he's since on to bigger, better things. 

It's funny how that works out. Sometimes the people who truly aren't the tech savvy ones assume that they know everything about how the technology is supposed to work. In this case though, it's nice to see that the boss didn't end up being a total monster, and if anything, by the ending it was nothing but nice wholesome vibes.
