‘If you do that again, you’re fired’: Employee flips the script on coworker who attempts to get them fired via HR complaint, then gets promoted

What managers fail to realize time and time again is that they are creating a bitter environment for employees when they decide to micromanage them, leading to a drop in production, and an overall yucky atmosphere. OP was working in a sanitization department for a hospital, working on the upkeep of cleanliness of the general areas of the hospital. Unfortunately, OP had a coworker, Steve, who wasn't even a manager, yet micromanaged the rest of the staff as if he were one. There is nothing worse than a coworker who believes they are in a position to tell you how to do your job…

Steve constantly called the supervisors for even the littlest things, slowly building a reputation most would cross oceans to steer away from. In other words, the rest of the staff hated his guts, including OP. As time went on, Steve became more insufferable, until it reached a point where he decided to file a complaint against OP for something that didn't really happen. The department director asked OP to pay her office a visit after their break, and OP knew automatically what it was about.

When arriving at the director's office, OP noticed that HR was sitting alongside them. OP had had enough and decided to take this opportunity to get back at Steve. Scroll down to read what happened next. For more, here is a store owner who threw out all the chairs used for employees on break, because he said it would 'increase productivity'.
