20 Hilarious and Savage Ways People Got Revenge On Bad Bosses

1.

My boss and I had butted heads a few times after she took over the office. After finding a much better job I handed her a list of my job responsibilities, which she asked for because she didn't understand what I did there. "This is too much, we'd have to distribute all this to like 4 different people" she said. "Yea" I said and walked out. Spoiler: she didn't do any of that and was fired less than a year later as the office was falling apart.

The milk I've been injecting into his chair with a hypodermic needle should be getting real rancid right about now.

5.

After working my entire career for a company as an engineer, I was laid off with others for no reason. Remaining boss requested all my files so they could continue my work. I said the day I leave you will get all my files. Last day of work I accessed the main frame and downloaded not just the relevant files, 20 years of files. Tons and tons of folders and files all in random folders. I sent him the link. He signed off. I left. He contacted me a few days later and said that’s not what I meant by all the files. I said I don’t work there anymore I have no computer. I gave you exactly what you asked for.

I was thinking about quitting but was holding back. I scheduled a vacation with 3 extra days. It was a once in a lifetime type of trip. He rejected my vacation request. I thought about it for a couple of hours. Went to his office and told him 'I'm taking the trip no matter what.' The next morning the boss met me at hr and gave me a formal written warning. I responded by giving him my 2 week notice. They apologized and tried to convince me not to leave but it was too late.

My exit interview when I was asked the reason for leaving, I simply said their name and nothing more.

Had a boss that was terrible to me. He and his wife owned a restaurant together, and one day when he was yelling at me while I was getting the bar ready I saw him put in his password on his phone. We all knew something was going on with him and another employee. Months later he wouldn't give me 3 days off because my niece died of SIDS. So I walked out, bought a $30 burner phone and texted his wife his password. They got divorced, she kept the steakhouse, and he's had 2 failed attempts at opening any establishment. I make more than him now and he lives in the bad apartments down the road from me.

My co-worker bought cake and ice cream for the office. Someone asked what we were celebrating, and he said his last day.

Mechanic at a commuter airline. Boss wanted me to sign off a plane pre-flight inspection. I refused to sign because the plane was not airworthy. He told me if I wished to continue working, then id better sign. My response: then I guess I don’t work here anymore. I picked up my tool box and left.

12.

Was in line for a promotion after my old supervisor was fired for ethics issues. Boss decided to open the requisition, interview and hire a person all in the 2 days I had off. Since the person hired had no experience in my department, I was expected to train my new supervisor, and the other new people they also hired. I did none of that, quit, and didn't explain a single thing to anyone in those 10 days. Supposedly it took almost half a year to get close to where they were before this all went down.

13.

I gave him a two-hour notice when I quit. He had a habit of firing people on the spot when they gave advance notice.

Salary was delayed by 2 weeks and we were told to be lenient because the company was growing and needed our help and cooperation. I waited for another week but I was ignored. I left the job without notice and upon them calling me to sue me, I replied, “You have money to sue people but no money to pay employees.” I switched jobs and I am at a better place right now.

16.

I bought the .com version of the domain name for their business and made him buy it off me for a grand. I think it made him like me more, ironically.

I reported him to work inspection. He was employing more trainees than the legislation allowed for a company that size and was making them work like full paid employees, with basically no formation at all. He got controlled and fined a big amount of money, had to give money to previous trainees that had worked for him.

18.

Worked in China in a language training center. Left the country without informing anyone at work. Once I was out of China, I posted all the info I had about the benefits foreign workers were supposed to have but never had, and how HR & Finance appropriated them in regional and local WeChat groups both in English and Chinese. Also posted addresses of local government offices where foreign workers could inquire about the aforementioned benefits or complain about lack thereof.
