After Reporting Workplace Violence And Being Told To Get Tough, Redditor Organizes Minor But Satisfying Act Of Revenge

Finding a good job that aligns with one's values and aspirations can be challenging. It is increasingly being heard that the modern work environment has employers who exploit their employees, expecting long hours and demanding tasks without appropriate compensation or respect.

It's happening somewhere in the world at this minute, also. But, as soon as employees recognize the signs of exploitation, they should prioritize their well-being and try to find a better work environment no matter how challenging it could be.

A Reddit user got in this kind of situation, and since they no longer work there, they shared an unpleasant work experience, but the sweet revenge, too. The OP said their ex-boss was exceptionally difficult to work with.

The boss would make the OP work 13-hour shifts without paying them overtime, despite the OP's advanced education. Adding to the hell, the boss would often shout at the OP, sometimes even throwing office equipment at them.

When the OP reported their boss, higher management simply said they needed to be resilient given the demanding nature of the construction industry. The emotional strain was such that the OP often found themselves in tears.

The OP explained their partner regularly received tickets to various events because of volunteer work, and their boss frequently requested tickets for himself and his wife. As the OP was preparing to leave the company, they thought they could use the opportunity for a small revenge.

The OP arranged two tickets to a show but in another city. Their boss didn't mind traveling because it was one of the classical things he loved.

However, the OP slightly changed the ticket details to render them invalid and ensured it wasn't registered under the boss's name. Therefore, when the boss arrived for the performance, he found the tickets useless.

The OP, aware of this likely inconvenience, chose to ignore the flurry of calls from the boss and enjoyed a quiet evening instead.
