Power can certainly get to some people's heads more than others. It sounds like this new hotshot manager was inconsolably blinded by the newfound power that they found themselves in possession of due to their new position. Well, let's just say that after the employee they kept trying to fire had had enough, they got their rightful comeuppance. It would have been great to see the look on the hotshot manager's face when they realized they'd managed to get themselves demoted. 

This story was originally posted on Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit by Redditor u/Thischick1, who shared their experience with the growing Reddit sub. Redditors voiced their appreciation for the original poster's actions and condemned the actions of the manager.

    Font - So this is where it gets dramatic. I'm on vacation in Spain and I get a string of angry texts from a new manager at the restaurant reminding me that I'm 5 minutes late and If I don't arrive in the next 5 minutes l'll be written up. I text back saying "sorry, I know you're new but I put in my two weeks over a month ago, I don't know why I'm still on the schedule."

    Font - of at least 15 messages back to back. And let me tell you they were the most unhinged messages I've ever read. They went from calling me unprofessional to an arrogant brat- mind you, I never worked with this women, she started after I left. She accuses me of lying and being lazy, saying that if you quit a job you need to give notice and I should be ashamed of what I have done to the restaurant. Of course I took screenshots of the conversation and sent them to one of the other managers. La
