30 of the Wildest Ways People Got Revenge on Bad Bosses

Got a bad boss? 

You can confront the issue head-on, like the time I told my former manager he was a “fucking weirdo” after learning of the affair he was having with my college-aged intern. Or you can play the long game of sweet revenge like the following Redditors. 

For instance: One Redditor got even by destroying one of their manager’s prized possessions. After being forced to work several long shifts on a broken foot, he snuck into his boss’ office and crammed a “massive wad” of ham into the pointed toe of the expensive shoes he kept at his desk. “I still had to struggle at work with my broken foot, but it was all worth it for that moment three weeks later when I got to see the look on his face upon investigating the foul smell coming from his shoe,” the Redditor recalled. 

Many other members of the proletariat have managed to pull one over on their awful higher-ups. Their tales of revenge include destroyed lawn mowers, sabotaging stunts and some very strategic no-call-no-shows.

Cloud_Tiger . 14y ago I had sex with his girlfriend. I worked at Burger King when I was 16 and my boss was 19 (his gf was my age). Не was a douche to me for no real reason (I was a very reserved person and I'm very kind). The funny thing is that I did not initiate anything with her, she wanted me (she sent me a message on myspace). I was reluctant at first because I don't condone infidelity but I hated him so I fucked her. Не never found out but I wasn't the only dude she
da_bbq 14y ago I worked full time in a supermarket and my boss was the guy that micromanaged the shit out of everyone but did little to no work and exaggerated the little to no work he actually did do. I finally got fed up with it and I put my two weeks in just before Easter and the actual day before Easter (my last scheduled day, when it would be the busiest) I was scheduled to work with him and I didn't show up. No call, no hints...nothing. Не never really responded well to pressure either. Retribution, I suppose.
clelando 14y ago Saved up every little inappropriate thing he said to me or any of the other staff and submitted it to corporate. I knew he was going to be fired about a week before it happened (I was pretty close with the other managers), and in one of our last arguments I let it slip. Не was berating me, and kept saying, Oh, are you confused? You always look confused. To which I replied, No, Javier, I'm frustrated that I still have to put up with you for another week. Telling him that before the fact was a
CafeSilver 14y ago When managed a hotel several years back I was working about 70-80 hours a week. My boss, the general manager, was a lazy racist fuck, and he worked maybe 15 hours a week. I made sure that place stayed open but when he did manage to come in he would yell and scream at me and everyone else over the littlest things. Не had hired this one woman because she was cute. She was totally incompetent. All she did was cause problems and drama and I was always cleaning up after her fuckups. I documented everything in
CatCatCatCaaat 14y ago Edited 14y ago I worked in a shoe store and we had a boss who definitely had his favourites and myself and one other guy were not part of this group. Не would always give us the shitty jobs to do and always try to split us up so we couldn't talk to each other. Не thought he was really cool and stylish and he eventually bought one of the most expensive pair of shoes that we sold at the time. Не would wear them for an hour a day and would put them back in their

ass_munch_reborn 14y ago Simple. I worked my ass off one year. At the time, we had ratings of 1 (for the best), 2 (meets expectations), 3 (needs improvement). I was given a 2. I was pissed. I basically shut down my work schedule to maintainance level. Just maintaining my code and nothing else. Then I gave ridiculous demands so I can walk away and quit. I was like - I want a window office, or I quit! Then, it was, I want a $10,000 raise, or I quit. But it sort of backfired, and I got those demands. 35 ...
Rossymagic 14y ago Edited 14y ago Sent the HMRC my payslips when they told me | had not made any national insurance payments for the 6 months I had worked there. Turns out he'd been cashing our paychecks, minus our contribution to National Insurance and probably our tax too. We were full time employee's on barely liveable wage that was justified as it was our first job. But he wasn't paying us little enough in his mind. So in his books he would have had us all as freelancers. The designers and few other staff all did the same as
superatheist95 . 14y ago My dads workmate on a prawn trawler, stuck his finger in his own ass and smeared it around the rim of the captains coffe mug when he demanded his coffee. TL:DR-boss drank shit. - 10 ...
MrZwey 14y ago I was fired for disrespect. In actuality, this boss never came into work on time, wore her uniform or did anything actually. People began to look to me for directions and when the off chance she did come in to stir up the place we would wait until she left and I would say whether or not it was a good idea to do it. When I was let go, without warning, I calmly left after getting my things. She tried to take the uniform off my back as well as the coat I was wearing. I
highlowgirl 14y ago Used to wait tables at a mexican restaurant, and my boss was a total asshole. Не would schedule me back to back all the time (get off at midnight, back at 6 am) and I was getting really tired all the time. Finally a friday rolled around where I had had enough of his crap. After finishing up approx 11:30, he tells me see ya at 5, and i acted natural and said see ya back to him. The next morning, I simply did not show up. This was very problematic as I live in San Antonio
easyjet 14y ago A bunch of us got screwed by a couple of bosses who were the joint owners, md's and also a married couple. Myself and a few others worked our balls off to land a million £ contract. How did they repay us? They treated themselves to his and hers mercs. We got fuck all and started to look for other jobs. To cut costs in the business we moved into a serviced office which was cheap rent. The landlords made their real money on lines and calls. At the time we had Internet via isdn and the
14y ago I had an ass of a boss that could NOT be fired for anything because you practically had to murder someone to get fired. Не was sleeping with a subordinate and EVERYONE knew it but his sweet wife and the subordinate's nice guy husband. I would call each of their homes at night when I knew they weren't home (before caller ID) When the unknowing spouse would answer I'd hang up. Really all it took was 3 or 4 times each. They were both divorced within 3 months AND miss hobag up and quit because of all
gerald626 . 14y ago I used to work for the head office of a major computer/electronics retailer. The head office would get back the returned/broken merchandise and was supposed to destroy it in order to get credit from the manufacturers. Instead of destroying the stuff, the owner instructed us to test the gear for anything usable and keep it. Не still claimed it was destroyed to get the credit though. This included hardware and software. A few years after I left, I called into the software piracy line and reported them. Don't know what happened, but they're still in business.
Chronoallusion 14y ago Not my boss, my boss was great, however my company was known for treating there employees like crap. I was a dedicated 4 year employee who was getting scolded for ridiculous things while people who did not work seemed to achieve higher positions wtf. So i was fed up, i planned a simple thing, get a new job and recruit the entire social media team we had in place. This by crippling there production would cause great problems. I got a new job and went part time and the hell factory. I recruited 5 people, there entire
14y ago We were in Afghanistan, and our squad leader was a piece of shit. Our command had given us some steaks, and me and a friend were making steak sauces out of what random shit comes in MREs and UGRs. We made a separate sauce for him because he doesn't like spicey, and we pissed in it. We were told it tasted delicious. All went according to plan. 5 ...
r3ach 14y ago A friend - Worked as a dishwasher; on a busy Friday night he went to the washroom, changed and snuck out the back way. Apparently his со- workers took a while to notice he was missing, and even longer to realize he wasn't coming back. - 3 ...
meur1911 14y ago Boss asks me for a report. I know what she was trying to ask for but she wrote down dumbshit. This was a report that would be presented by her to her bosses. Since she was being a dick to me all week. I gave her Exactly what she asked for. She comes back after presentation pissed and gives me a 'i fucking hate you look' 3 ...
GbyeGirl 14y ago The publisher at our magazine was a dick. One morning we come in and his assistant (not at all computer literate) starts running around panicked, telling us not to turn on our computers because there's a virus that will cause our monitors to explode. We all laughed and booted up to find an email sent to us all from the publisher's account, but really from the IT guy he had fired the day before. It said, stuff like, Hey everyone, this is how much money I make, and this is how much everyone else in the company
14y ago I worked at a cellphone retail store as a sales representative and my assistant manager was basically useless. She would take multiple hour lunch (instead of the provided 30 minute break), she would hand out discounts with local restaurant owners in exchange for free food for herself, she would pass her work on to us (saying it would be good to learn), and she did not know anything about the job. I started watching her like a hawk because I wanted her to slip so we could get rid of her, after all, a team is only

Drink_a_soda . 14y ago This happened like 2 years ago. Не had this old University of Texas hat his son had gotten for him on this birthday, the thing must have been at least 5 years old and it was his prized possession. Well I stole the hat and took it home one day. Once there I took a picture of the hat laying next to a pair of scissors, then I emailed it to him with no text just the pic. Не end up flipping out at work trying to find out who did it and is generally pissed
Simbamatic 14y ago Supervisor at a grocery store who terrorized the employees and walked around like he owned the place for what seemed like years. One night when he was the closing manager, one of my friends on shift at the time walked around and propped open all the freezer doors. Which in turn melted out all the product in about 3 entire aisles worth of freezers. Myself who had recently quit and another friend who also worked there at the time but was not on shift that night came by, took his hub caps, let most of the air

glassuser 14y ago She had a reputation for drinking too much every night. Older divorced british woman stuck working because she ran off her husband. She favored gin and made no secret about it. She also sometimes took hour- long breaks in her office and cried. She was a total bitch to us workers, the three she could keep around. She held impossible standards, would decide that things we did exactly to her absurd requests were still not good enough, and such. We got sick of it. So I took a half empty bottle of gin, stuck it in her
14y ago I worked for a company that had 'flex time'. ANother company came in and bought us out. THe new boss was a complete ass, and I got written up for being just 7 seconds late for work. THe lack of respect was completely removed when the new company bought us (AMP packaging, BTW). The boss was doing coke all the time. I found a new job and came in that evening to collect my stuff and leave without even a goodbye note. But, | did write an email that was set to send itself at 10am the
misterbung 14y ago I took the rollers out of his chair while he was out at lunch and stuffed the cavity with sardines. Rollers back in, stroll on out. A month later | had a meeting in his office and it smelt AWFUL. It made me very happy. He's got a new chair now, I might try squid this time. 127 ...
