'CEBro went nuclear': Employee takes DNA test, turns out their CEO is their half-brother, CEO tries to get them fired

This employee literally just wanted to find out if their grandmother was from Ireland...turns out their CEO is their half-brother instead. Talk about taking a DNA test and finding out you are 100% not that b****. This thread was originally posted [Ask a Manager] and was subsequently reposted to Reddit's r/BestofRedditorUpdates by u/supertoasty, and wow, there are more twists and turns in this one than anything streaming on Netflix right now.

Not only was this an upsetting turn of events for the original poster's family, but also this Redditor had absolutely no idea their CEO would find out and would subsequently initiate such a shady, over-the-top project to get them fired. The hero of this story, as several folks in the comments section pointed out, would be Katie, the original poster's direct manager who anticipated all this shadiness and made sure that the Redditor was protected. Keep scrolling below to see how the CEO's actions were found out. For more, here's a story about a rejected job applicant being unfairly asked to help for free.
