If you need a story of poetic justice, you've come to the right place. There's nothing like staying true to your morals and it benefiting you in the end. As if the universal karmic energy knew you deserved justice. There are many stories like that if you just know where to look—like Reddit!

A woman recently got her poetic justice after struggling at her law firm. She was a hard worker and made sure she always did her very best. She was aiming to make partner one day. Finally, it started to look like she just might make her dream come true! However, she had one little problem—a coworker who was a bully. This colleague didn't treat any of their coworkers right and was the kind of person who would step on anyone they needed to get where they wanted to be. Luckily, karma had their eye on them.

The woman was so close to making partner she could taste it, however, this bully colleague ended up spinning some lies about her and she was shot down at the last second. However, this woman had an inkling that this bully coworker might try and pull something like this, so she already had another job in her sights. When it became clear she wasn't making partner, she left that bully coworker and went to a new firm. There, karma decided to grace her with a reward. While working there, the bully woman was hired to work with her new firm on a case. The woman tried to keep things professional and always stayed true to simply doing the best she can as a lawyer.

However, the bully colleague couldn't shake her horrid ways, and the new firm that the woman now works out noticed the horrible work ethic of this lawyer. So when they asked OP to fired her old-job bully, she more than leaped at the opportunity. Isn't it beautiful when justice gets served?
