Nothing can be more nightmarish for a hard-working employee than to realize that the new owner of the company you work for is a dark and ominous storm, ready and willing to unleash havoc in an otherwise smoothly functioning, peaceful work environment — for no apparent reason… other than to satisfy their own ego. Redditor u/persondude27 shared a perfect example of this kind of ridiculous management practice on r/ProRevenge, from the new owner berating their best employee for being a few minutes late one day to criticizing other people's work without an actual suggestion on how to improve it. 

It sounds like this new owner was headed fast for nowhere good from the moment he bought this doctor's office. Fortunately, the employees that were on staff were more than ready to clap right back against all of his nonsense by finding new jobs and coordinating when they quit. Oh boy, to only have seen the look on the owner's face when he was forced to confront the righteous consequences of his actions. Sorry, Danny — but this headache was your own fault.

A couple of years in, they got a legal fight and experience staff started leaving. Being young and dumb, I wanted to be loyal and ended up managing half of the doctor's office. The other half was managed by Brittany. She had a team of three that did the work of six.

    Font - The company got bought, and a new owner came in. He was like Danny DeVito in gold chains and a bad toupee. He was dumb and no one respected him. He screamed constantly, about little things, at anyone. He micromanaged and didn't bother to understand someone's job before telling them how to do it better. He tried to streamline processes without knowing how they worked. But mostly, he yelled. One day, the hardest working person in the entire clinic, a nurse who started every appointment, was

When the nurse put in her notice at the end of the day, Danny fired her on the spot. Told her to leave and never come back.

    Font - I had been job searching, and had actually gotten an offer. I was planning on giving a lot of notice but couldn't give notice if l'd be fired immediately – I had student loans and was paycheck-to-paycheck. I grabbed the two remaining members of the admin staff and explained that I was going to quit without notice before too long. Brittany understood, and said she too was in the final stages of taking a new job. We agreed that we would quietly all find new jobs, then duck out when it was c

    Font - A week or so later, Danny started screaming about the color of tape l'd used to duct tape down a power cable months before. I had used orange and yellow to make it more visible, but Danny said that was unprofessional. I asked him how he'd like me to fix it. Danny: "Well, that's not my problem. That's yours." I paused for a second and said... Me: "You know, I don't think it is my problem. I'm out." I grabbed my small box of desk things as Danny howled at me: Danny: "You will never find ano

    Font - We packed our things and walked out, as Danny called the cops saying his employees were stealing things like their own birthday cards and pictures of their kids. We texted the third employee (who was on lunch) and explained what happened – it sounds like she didn't go back. And without front desk, billing, or nursing staff, a doctor's office simply can't run. I'm told they were closed for almost two weeks before they got temporary employees, but had no one to train them.

    Font - Danny shuttered and re-sold the business a few months later to the Big Dog in the industry, which is a charity. Since their books are open, we saw that they bought the company (really just the clients list) for about 15% less than what Danny had paid a few months prior. TL;DR: New owner tries to micromanage, fires employee on the spot. Rest of staff fires him on the spot, he loses millions. Edit: bit more information. The police did show up, and one of the officers who responded was a pat
