Working tediously in an environment where you are appreciated is not enough to create a sense of fulfillment. Your salary plays a big part in that picture. So imagine your boss begins deducting money from it. When the numbers start adding up you confront them, only to be told by a flustered peachy face that you're chatting up the wrong address, and should actually be talking to accounting. Funnily enough, it is impossible to contact the accountant. That's when things begin to get fishy. As the saying goes, where there is smoke, there is a fire.

In this case, it turns out a boss was purposely deducting thousands of dollars from her employees' paychecks and keeping them for herself. She couldn't keep up the secret for very long, as thousands of dollars don't exactly go unnoticed. Sometimes you got the power, but you lack the brains. The company ended up collapsing, as this boss was promptly reported to the labor board by not one, but many employees.

This boss refused to lie in the bed she'd made and attempted to contact her former employee/s. Scroll down for a detailed account of the events. For more stories like this, here is an employee that got his comeuppance when he attempted to throw a fellow coworker under the bus for something that was in fact, his own fault.
