Listening to your employees is essential to running a successful business, they know more about the specifics of the operations that the company is managing which gives them a unique perspective. Key employees have to be aware of any important decisions so they can warn bosses about potential dangers and risks.

Prioritizing one thing over the other always leads to failure, one thing might seem more important than the other but in the long term, you end up regretting the fact that you abandoned something completely just to succeed in another. Priorities in business settings are even more important and can either make the company thrive or drive it completely into the ground.

A Reddit user who goes by the username r/InfinitiumVortex submitted a story a while ago to the r/ProRevenge community where he explained how his boss refused to listen to his warnings and he later ended up being right the whole time. What follows is the reason why this story was submitted to a "Pro Revenge" subReddit.

InfinitiumVortex prepared for the day his boss was going to confront him and his efforts did not go unrewarded. Scroll down and check out the original Reddit post and scroll further to read screenshots of comments from the original post.

Here's the original Reddit post by u/infinitiumvortex:

OP gave a little flashback to get into some things in detail.

OP was struggling with the work volume since so many employees got laid off.

Customers loved OP and the director hated him.

The sales director refused to listen to reason.

OP was smart enough to keep receipts that will prove to be very helpful later on.

He listened to what the sales director said and followed his instructions.

Then the company landed the biggest contract in its history.

Everyone had to find a scapegoat to take the blame.

OP was almost going to get fired, but he came prepared.

The sales director had to pay nearly $300K and was fired from his job.

The sales director found himself in a world of trouble.

TL;DR, in case you don't feel like reading the whole thing.

OP then provided a couple of updates to explain some things further.

OP likes helping government customers so they don't have to overpay.

OP didn't want to provide any more details because of legal issues.

OP then added a second update later on:

OP had no idea that everyone was listening.

Thankfully, no one complained after that.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/infinitiumvortex's story:

They culture they encourage is toxic.

OP replied to r/Arrasor's comment and clarified things further:

Nothing but vague promises that don't even exist.

People are pushed to make more sales not incentivized.

Revenge while staying professional is the best kind.

There's nothing like a good revenge story.

It's so good, it's worth reading twice!

He should invest his talents elsewhere.

When you're younger they won't listen to you.

They take advantage of people during difficult times.

A true American hero!

The sales director definitely got what they deserved, he seems like a terrible person according to OP's story and what happened to him is simply karma. If OP didn't make sure to confirm with the sales manager this story would have had a completely different ending, but we are glad it is not the case.

The moral of this story is that you should always keep receipts because they might one day come in handy. When you have concrete proof no one can argue with you unless they are completely delusional.
