Employee Automates Their Boss's Job, Boss Gets Fired

It's not uncommon for employees to secretly get back at their own employers by automating their own job, like this employee who automated their job and got paid to do nothing for 5 years. It's also pretty common for employees to be responsible for doing their bosses job. Combine the two and you get this person. They figured out how to do their boss's job in a fraction of the time. And since this task just happened to be the one thing keeping their boss around, it became pretty reasonable to just let 'em go.

Maybe if their boss played by the rules in the first place, they wouldn't have created a situation where their employee could so easily make their entire position redundant. Even if you're totally ineffectual in your workplace, but people still like you, you're probably gonna stick around. But since they were an active inconvenience, it's not surprising that they got the axe.
