Finding a good manager, one that isn't a toxic leader who gives you work-PTSD, isn't easy. When you find a place with a boss that treats everybody with respect and helps elevate everybody, then you hold onto them tight.

Unfortunately, that is not what this employee did and when he realized what he did, he knew karma was coming for him. This guy took to Reddit to confess his horrible actions. He has been working at his place of establishment for almost a decade. He got a new boss right before the pandemic and she was the best. He actually started to love working, started to improve in his job, and even got a promotion. His new manager was always there for him when he needed and he was very happy with the new leadership.

However, one day, his manager got Covid and she suffered longterm effects. She started being less attentive because of it, and he got annoyed. The boss of his boss came to him and asked him about the performance of his manager, and he was upset and vented everything to him. He says in the moment he thought that his boss was asking him about his manager because he wanted to help her. But it turns out he wanted a reason to fire her, and he served it up to him on a silver platter.

After she was fired, the guy hated his job. He had to work more directly with the boss who fired his favorite manager and he turned out to be the worst. When they finally did hire someone to replace the old manager, he was also the worse. Because of everything, his own performance has suffered and believes he is now also on a track to being fired.

He had his epiphany and confessed to Redditors about his backstabbing actions and his regrets, but the internet does not go easy on him. Read it all below.
