    Employee demotes herself to force boss to work triple hours before getting him fired for misconduct: ‘I spoke to the regional manager that week and asked to be moved’

    Corporate hierarchies often produce fascinating specimens who mistake management positions for personal kingdoms where basic decency becomes optional. Some people approach authority like kids with new toys, immediately testing how much damage they can inflict before anyone notices or cares enough to intervene.

    Bad managers hone remarkable abilities to transform simple tasks into elaborate time-wasting performances while simultaneously creating hostile work environments that would make prison wardens blush. They operate with the strategic brilliance of people who believe ignoring responsibilities makes them disappear, treating customer service bells like suggestion boxes and stock checks like meditation retreats. These workplace predators combine professional incompetence with personal creepiness, creating toxic cocktails that somehow survive in corporate environments designed to protect profits over people.

    • The beautiful irony emerges when these power-tipped tough guys forget that some employees possess actual leverage and intelligence beyond their comprehension. Smart workers understand that timing beats confrontation every single time, especially when probationary periods create convenient escape hatches for strategic departures. The fact that someone can harass employees while neglecting basic job duties, only to get caught in customer bathrooms, demonstrates the kind of self-destructive confidence that belongs in psychology textbooks rather than management training manuals.

    • Obligatory first time poster longtime lurker! I worked at a company a few years back and had an amazing manager he was efficient supportive to everyone and all round decent.

    • Workplace karma occasionally delivers perfect justice through carefully planned exits that expose incompetent managers for exactly what they are. Our vindicated employee discovered that sometimes the best revenge involves strategic timing rather than direct confrontation, learning that well-executed resignations can create more chaos than years of complaints to HR departments that exist primarily to protect companies from lawsuits rather than employees from harassment.

    • But due to him being so good the company wanted to moce him to a store to help pick that place back up.

    • He would find the longest jobs and make them longer, a 30 minute stock check took him 1 whole 8 hour shift for example.
