Artist gets fired when a shady studio director suspects they're a whistleblower for OSHA, 3 years later, they get their revenge through subsequent success: ‘I have $30k in savings and I’m booked through 2026'

This artist let their colors fly after a shady boss wrongfully terminated them. 

Work takes up a lot of our time and when you're a starving artist in Los Angeles, spending 98% of your time in the studio working on your craft means that you don't have much time for anything else. So as artists are slaving away in the studio, they're likely not spending too they're time thinking about safety in the workplace–they're on a single-track thought process to create art.

When the stained glass painter in our next story started spending too much time in the studio, they started to notice that things were a little unsafe. Handling materials like acid, lead, and sharp glass, the artist realized their boss was largely unconcerned with everyone's well-being and was more focused on grinding out new art pieces. So when someone called OSHA on him, he (wrongfully) suspected it was the employee who had vocalized their safety concerns. As revenge against the alleged 'whistleblower', this shady boss fired them on-site, but that turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to this artist.
