Nepo-baby new owner can't run their company, fires company's top performer so they delete all of their files before leaving

The thing about taking over a business your family owns is that you might not know anything about that business or have any of the skills and experience necessary to manage it. Couple this with an uncompromising ego and a general sense of entitlement, and you've got yourself a nightmare boss in the making. 

We've seen this exact scenario play out time and time again: "A new owner takes over a business that they are hilariously unqualified to run and proceeds to gut the company of its most essential employees."

Redditor u/NaughtyCat890 shared this two-part revenge tale to the r/antiwork and r/ProRevenge subreddits. The first story is a prequel of sorts to the post that they shared to r/ProRevenge. It describes the rise to power of the company's terrible new owner, leading to the utter incompetence that plagued employees after his reign began. 

The second details u/NaughtyCat890's firing and the fallout from that. This second story starts with item #5.

Keep reading to see screenshots of these two stories as they were originally shared by u/NaughtyCat890 to Reddit. For more, check out this horrifically underpaid IT guy who left and cost his company $40 million.
