'Small win against toxic management': Employee pushed out by toxic manager, exposes that they have been doing manager's work for over a year

Here's a lesson to all managers out there: you don't want to make enemies with the person who has been essentially doing your job for you for over a year. That seems to be what happened in this scenario, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/landinthesky. 

 

There were many red flags in this toxic work environment. After all, it was a startup so the employee in question should have expected as much. That being said, you would think that a manager of data analysts would be able to, I don't know, read data. I'm certainly no expert in this field, but I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably an important skill. Now, the employee clearly made enemies with another coworker at work, and while we can't really weigh in on those complaints since we aren't aware of the details, we can say regardless of that situation that exposing the toxic manager's pure incompetence is a pretty rewarding climax.
