    ‘The joke was on him’: Manager gets himself fired after threatening to fire an integral employee if he didn't pass a test, he passes and immediately quits

    Sometimes it really doesn't matter how hard working you are as an employee. If you aren't willing to play the power dynamic that the ego of your boss wants you to play, you'll still be treated like you're lazy and unimportant. This, of course, is only when you have bad management, which, unfortunately, is often. Everyone experiences a bad working situation at least once in their life. (Actually, if it's just once, then you're lucky!) 

     

    The best course of action in this situation would be to quit, but strategically. Like this employee who was threatened to be fired. He was sent to take a yearly safety exam and his entitled manager told him that if he didn't pass, he would be fired. So, the guy took the test and immediately after decided he needed to quit. So, before he even got his test results back, he started drafting a resignation letter. Right before he was going to turn it in and leave, he got the test results. He passed! So, he stapled the certificate of completion to his resignation letter as an extra dash of salt to the burn. He was a hardworking employee and was not about to just stand there and allow himself to be threatened by some dude's ego.
