Sometimes the best revenge isn’t loud—it’s just logging in, deleting everything, and disappearing into the digital mist.
That’s exactly what one graphic designer did after finding out her old agency was still profiting from her unpaid labor years after she left.
She’d been overworked, underpaid, and publicly undermined by higher-ups who clearly thought she’d never fight back.
But when she discovered they were using a portfolio site she personally created (and owned) to impress clients? That was the last straw.
So she took her receipts, downloaded what she needed, and hit delete.
Fonts, files, templates—gone.
It’s a satisfying tale of standing up for your work, knowing your worth, and pressing the red button when enough is enough.
