    r/Prorevenge In today's episode, OP has an incredibly stupid boss who thinks that OP is expendable, even though he very much isn't. OP gets fired and takes a healthy severance package. A few weeks later, OP gets a call from his boss BEGGING him to come back to work and save the company from bankruptcy. OP agrees, but only if the boss pays him $450 per hour. Who said revenge doesn't pay?

    First story: that director tried to push OP down the bus, but OP simply stepped aside and let her throw herself under it. She tampered with company data, tried to blame someone else for her own stupid decisions, and ended up revealing a affair not only with someone who was married, being married herself, but another member of the company (that probably was against company's own policies, as if all her other acts weren't a fireable act enough);
    Third story: imagine thinking severance means your ex-worker still is obliged to work for you, then being forced to pay them extra money because the current one doing his job is a massive incompetent, and them badmouthing them to the client who only kept hiring your company's services because of them, and wanting a way out of your sucky service, just to have them hire your ex-worker directly and make you lose a profitable contract? OP's ex-boss was a idiot.

      Totally agree, and from what OP said, it sounded like he was already wearing about two or three extra hats, which makes the fact that HIS bonus was less than the others an even bigger insult in my opinion.
      You don’t have to have a business savvy spouse and those others he consulted to see the writing on the wall, the boss was clearly planning to replace OP in the near future.

      They continued their open affair until it was time for her to throw him under the bus and take his position.
      She was a terrible manager and spent all her time in her office taking online upgrading courses so she could become qualified for the job she was currently doing.

    My dad and sister actually had something similar to the "you're replaceable" story happen to them, except it was on their softball team (my dad coached, sister played). Low and behold, the good players moved to my dad's team and the other team was reduced to just the "in better than you" people. The coach literally resorted to cheating when we were winning by 20+ to 5 (maybe 40+, it was a while ago but point being, they weren't even a threat that day).

      @abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501 Před 2 lety

      And, i think... a bit of fear. Hear me out... you have an employee who can step into EVERY SINGLE position at work, and excels at it.
      Even if Boss/Owner knows their position is safe, in their minds... there's always that 1 is a zillion chance (aka, next to impossible), and so... they start trying to figure out how to remove that threat. It may not even be a concious thing... all subconscious.
      Once the concious mind becomes aware that there's something bugging them about this stellar employee, it takes notice and tries to find a reason to get rid of them, to appease subconcious and get that nagging feeling to go away.
      Easiest way? Insult the employee while making work harder or unfair in some way, and try to get them (force them) to quit. Mind you, concious & subconcious could even war over what is actually desired as an outcome as well as the means to get there.
      In this case, when boss blew up after super-employee was on vacation... boss had had a dose of reality during that time, trying to manage without. Boss would NEVER admit they did super-employee a dirty with a smaller bonus & the insult, so they never intended to address what THEY did. They exlected super-employee to return and pick right up where they left off, and boss could continue their on-and-off power plays... but super-employee putting in their two weeks notice caused boss to see RED - this was against everything they finally realized was what the needed (and, in a way, wanted... because bet you, boss had to do everything super-employee normally does during that vacation!).
      So... boss lets anger direct the mouth, "YOU'RE FIRED!"
      Thus... sealing their own fate.
      Any boss/owner worth their salt and with even a shred of intelligence would look at a super-employee as their biggest ASSET. They'd take their suggestions to heart, and implement them.
      Instead, they forget that while yes, they can hire anyone (or several) for much cheaper... the new employee(s) don't have the knowledge, training, trust of customers, OR the LOYALTY that former super-employee had.
      It's better to give appropriate bonuses, pay increases, and respect to these super-employees and help KEEP them loyal to you, thus ensuring that your business continues to grow.
      But... I've yet to meet any boss that actually thinks further down the road than that quarter's profit margin.

She always used a specific phrase in any emails that had stuff that might backfire on her, or maybe every project she used a new phrase, and got her IT manager side piece to erase them before the project was finally due so that she was the only one who had any evidence of anything.

    The ONLY time someone should be told they are replaceable is during the internship, with the clear message that they are there to learn enough useful skills that they WON'T be replaceable.

    I left me last job in October last year. I was basically a stocker in a warehouse. I've heard stories about how the place has had a lot of problems with getting their trucks out in time now and other things because the inventory was off pretty badly. And stuff wasn't been done as well as when I was there.
    I would basically stock for the week rather than from day to day. While keeping things neat and organized.

  • @joeschmo622
    @joeschmo622 Před 2 lety

    Lesson to be learned: *ALWAYS* treat critical emails like evidence in a court case. BCC them to your personal email, save copies (eg, the .msg files) to a flash drive, and *print them* and save the printouts. Do all 3 to avoid accusations of "fabrication".

    They NEVER learn! Ever! I used to work for a family business as a kid, so even despite my ADHD & actively learning healthier work habits, I'm a reliable employee who often takes on duties outside what's expected of me to fill my spare time caused by excelling at my job. Employers ALWAYS pretend I'm replacable. The last time I was called replacable from a job, I quit. And they lost a TON of their regulars. They legitimately had customers who only came to see me despite being complete strangers to me. Not to mention, at this job, one of the things I did with my spare time was *CLEAN AND ORGANIZE THE STORE.* Every time I go in there to say hello to my old coworkers, the place is disgusting! Upper management has even messaged me months after I left to offer me a promotion to the store manager when I'd previously been ignored for the position as an assistant. I left them on read. I'd rather make less money than work for that shithole again.

  • @BobBlumenfeld

    Regarding the first story, I suspect OP's IT guy dug out the backup archives which are probably offline and unreachable even by compliance deletes. Backups are intended to survive total database or mass-storage destruction. They may even not be in the same location as the database.

    That info module mishap was such a stupid thing...managers make mistakes 'occasionally' and make a bad call. I don't understand how they can't just say..."yep I made a bad call....do yoy have the last one you sent me?" ( garunteed with that much work op definitely had a copy) the worst thing is they wasted a couple of weeks on a bad call and they fix it and move on. I doubt anyone would have gotten penalized too severely for it. And she'd still have a job and probably her marriage

    Story 1:
    When OP described her incompetence, I was like, "the only way for her to get to that position MUST involve sleeping with someone".
    It pisses me off, because stories like this (which I have witnessed personally) make people think that most women get to a position of power only via the advisors B and J Bosscock.
    Too bad for those women who actually work hard to go up the ladder. Kudos.

    Are they really replaceable? At what cost? Replacing someone isn't as easy as it sounds. Usually, people that are "replaceable" are underpaid, and as such, no one else is gonna want their job. So the company either has to retrain someone to replace them, and waste time and money, or they end up hiring several people to do the job of one. I'm convinced that corporate big wigs have zero common sense. My favorite saying from my gpaw, "common sense ain't so common" lmao

    Similar thing happened to me ( a long time ago now ). I was managing a photolab, a new company came in and almost immediately made one of the the 2 guys on the counter redundant. It's important to note that the retail side of things and the lab side of things were TOTALLY separate. I was hired to manage the photolab...NOTHING ELSE. Then they made MY assistant redundant. Long story short they then made ME redundant. Expecting the last guy do do it all. Six weeks later while at home I get a call from the 'last guy'...so the convo goes pretty much like this. ( phone rings, I pick it up ) . 'Hello'? LG ( last guy ) : 'Hi OP...how's things'? ME: 'Oh not so bad....how's you and how's the lab doing'? LG: 'What lab'? Me: 'Ummm...THE lab'. LG: 'I'll say it again...WHAT lab'? ME : It's CLOSED'?! LG: 'You could say that...the entire shop ( pharmacy ) is closed'.
    Two things to know...when I took over the lab it was bringing in 'maybe' 10 - 12% of the total takings...when I left it was bring in over 85% of the takings. And two...the customer base I had was fantastic...and included a large number of Professional photographer who used our services...not only for their work...but for their own personal stuff as well. And...since they no longer had anyone who do do the work...they voted with their feet ( along with most of the other customers) and went elsewhere. Ooooops !

    I have a similar story to the one where OP was definitely not replaceable.
    I was in a band a while ago and basically the members of the band had issues with management so we tried to address it with the owner. He responded by telling us we had no right to "call the boss for a meeting" and ignored every complaint we had. When I protested, he proceeded to tell me that i was replaceable and he can fire me on a whim if he feels like it. With all the work I put in in this band, plus my talent. Me...replaceable. I was so hurt by those words, I decided he was going to regret saying that trash to me. So the very next day when we were supposed to perform, I intentionally showed up 30 minutes after I was supposed to already be singing and THEN told him I was quitting the band. He spent more than an hour begging me to reconsider cause I was the only singer available for the night. Basically almost 2 hours into a gig and the so called band wasn't doing anything. I still walked away. He tried to hire new singers and the other band members would tell me how horrible they were and how he would fire them days later cause no one was cutting it. He eventually swallowed his pride and asked me to come back to the band. Turns out I wasn't replaceable after all.
