'I got my revenge': Retail manager gets back at a supervisor who snubbed their career; they get promoted at the corporate level and become their boss's boss

Some say that success is the best revenge. I've often taken a similar stance of placated vengeance, where you don't need to take direct action against a person. It's said that the strongest backlash is when you are able to elevate your own self to a level that your enemy will never achieve. In the retail world, this kind of revenge is unbeatable, using your rank to outweigh any sort of animosity and effectively shutting down the competition with one glance– and by pulling the rank card.

In this case, one employee had an enemy at work that just so happened to be their supervisor. Everything was going fine until OP was ready for an upward promotion in their store, getting closer and closer to their enemy supervisor's workflow and threatening their managerial status. The supervisor had a voiceless vendetta against OP and continually snubbed their career until OP found the most epic revenge in the form of self-elevation. After getting demoted by the bitter supervisor, OP went off to find success elsewhere– in the corporate sector. Using their newfound success and sublime status, OP served up the pettiest revenge by flexing their newfound power over their old boss. 

Scroll for the full story of promotions, demotions, and an epic moment where pulling rank actually proved a perfect point.
