'That's my job, get lost': Manager tries to pin $1 million machine malfunction on new hire who whips out documentation proving otherwise, effectively getting him fired instead

Instant karma is the best, especially when it involves a manager who is out to get a new hire for no reason other than ego.

This story is about a new IT manager, who clashed with a paranoid facilities manager at the manufacturing company they both worked at. The IT guy knew his stuff, but the micromanager was overprotective of jobs that 'belonged' to him, and often told him to get lost. For context, the micromanager controlled a critical production machine with an outdated computer system, and refused to share any information about it because as stated, he was a gatekeeper. One day, during a safety inspection, the power to the machine was accidentally pulled while it was running, corrupting the system. The micromanager was unreachable, and the company faced a million-dollar loss if the machine didn't restart pronto.

It was the new hire's time to shine, much to his coworker's displeasure, and after that, it all went haywire.
