Low-income apartment complexes often have housing organizations that help tenants rent homes cheaper than they would be able to in an open market. This particular housing organization owned 500 units in over 20 complexes in OP's area, and unfortunately, OP's property manager was the last person you'd wish to be responsible for anything. For some reason unbeknownst to OP, this property manager, who, for the sake of this article, we'll call Karen, had it out for OP. Karen made OP's life miserable whenever she could, and on top of it all, was also committing fraud. The apartment complex was illegally towing tenants' cars without giving them proper notice, and this was, of course, thanks to Karen.

OP got together with some of the other tenants and began taking steps to begin a tenant Union. Eventually, OP got elected onto the board, which meant that technically, OP was now this property manager's boss. OP immediately took action, making sure to email all the juicy details about Karen's behavior and blatant fraud to the director.

Karen found out about OP's new position during the annual meeting, and she did not take kindly to the change. Scroll down to read what happened next. For more, here is an IT manager who quit after his new boss became insufferable, and made sure that the company would shut down for a few days via the internet service provider.
