If there’s one universal truth we can all agree on, it’s that karma has an uncanny knack for coming around when least expected. Imagine the smug satisfaction when an office tyrant, who’s been living out a toxic soap opera for far too long, finally trips on their own pride.
Meet the mean-spirited manager, doling out a daily serving of micromanagement and harassment, and our hero, a team member whose job was her lifeline in the aftermath of a previous layoff. Tired of being a punching bag, she decides to hang up her gloves and walk away from the ring.
But as they say, when one door closes, another one swings wide open. An opportunity to return to the company emerged courtesy of an old pal turned high-ranking executive. Our underdog is suddenly propelled several rungs up the corporate ladder, above her old boss, and with the ear of the upper echelons.
The once-oppressive manager was surprisingly oblivious, unwittingly setting her own trap. Sit back, grab your popcorn, and join us for a deliciously satisfying saga of revenge, brought to light by u/TravelingABC via the virtual treasure chest that is Reddit’s r/ProRevenge subreddit. The community may have simmered down over time, but it’s still an abundant wellspring of poetic justice.
