When you end up in a situation where you're faced with a micromanaging boss, there often aren't a lot of options… HR might not take you seriously or even take your side; you usually won't be in a position where you can outright quit on the spot, and standing up for yourself is usually just going to make your life harder. 

This means that you may need to resort to alternative means, just as this worker did when they grew tired of their micromanaging boss. 

They share that, as happens all too often, they made an effort to become the jack of all trades at their workplace, meaning that they were taking on more responsibility, offering more utility, and developing more skills that they were being paid for. Eventually, they were brought into an experimental new project with no scope or budget, developing it into something from nothing with some strong teamwork between them and a coworker. 

That all came crashing down when a micromanaging manager got involved, firing their coworker and bringing an effective end to the project…

It was time to get even.

Read on for this tale of workplace revenge. After, check out this retail worker who got even with a customer who also worked in retail.
