'She immediately complained to HR': Boss reports worker for fixing problem, worker undoes their fix and quits

Have you ever gone above and beyond at your work and received no recognition for it? How about taking the initiative to fix a serious problem that's plaguing your workplace, only to turn around and be reprimanded by your boss? If yes, maybe it's time to seek out greener pastures, just as this worker did when their micromanaging new boss took issue with the fact that they were going above and beyond to fix a problem that had been plaguing the company.

Some people just desire nothing but control and will go to any means to maintain it. These people will go to any lengths to remove others they perceive as a threat, including those who show aptitude and exceptional performance. Over time these tumors will destroy an organization from the inside, but there will be no one threatening or valuable left in their department by the time that happens. 

Next, check out this candidate who bombed an interview and got a wholesome redemption years later.
