'I would take my sweet time': Night-shift bakery worker who was forced to clean up everyone's mess maliciously complies, boss gets fired

Revenge is sweet, especially when it's achieved by complying with your boss's orders, taking your sweet time working some choco-late hours into the early morning, and maybe even staying until you watch the sun rise like a freshly baked loaf of bread, raking in hours of overtime all the while.

This worker didn't go quite that far, but they were sure to stretch their hours as late as possible into the evening after their boss told them they weren't allowed to go home until everything was taken care of. Here's the thing about having to clean up other people's messes… They have no incentive to prevent those messes from piling up in the first place, and they have zero for cleaning up the slightest thing after themselves.

Anyone who has ever worked a closing shift in a kitchen has encountered this problem, inheriting whatever misfortunes of the day crew in the form of a kitchen that looks like it's had a hurricane pass through it.

This worker came with receipts, though, being sure to take photos of the messes they were having to clean up. Usually, these types of things are a "he said, she said" type of scenario, where both sides state their perspectives, and the truth lies somewhere in between, but this employee really brought their story to life in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination by sharing a number of images of the bakery in their post.

Read on to see their post and a few of the photos they shared where it was originally posted on Reddit. Next, check out this kitchen drama that led to the resignation of the FOH Lead and the Head Chef.
