    Font - Boss overworked me and I got my revenge I can now freely post this since I've left my old job a few months back. My boss was your typical hole guy + one step further. He used to make me work 13 hour shifts without OT because "I was paying my dues". Mind you I have a Masters Degree and I was practically working like an animal.

    Font - Worst part was his screaming and throwing things at me. I've had keyboards, mouse, wires, empty water bottled hurled at me and upper management said this (construction) is a tough field and I have to have thick skin to survive and be successful. I have cried multiple times in my two years at this job because it was so horrible.

    Font - For some additional context, my partner volunteers like crazy and receives free tickets to shows and concerts. For the two years I have worked there, my boss has timely asked for two tickets to be arranged for him and his wife.

    Font - Before I was leaving, my boss told me to arrange similar tickets for an upcoming show. I told him that my partner could get them only for the venue in another city so he'd have to travel. He was fine with it because it was one of the classical things he loves.

    Font - A few weeks later, I sent him the ticket. But edited the QR code and the ticket number just enough to make it invalid. The ticket also did not have his name on file (had my partners) so I hoped they wouldn't be able to pull up the right ticket. (Plus I was pretty sure he didn't know my partners full name to have the tickets pulled up)

    Font - The weekend of the show, I saw on his IG stories that he flew to the other city. I got a bunch of calls from him that evening (presumably because the tickets were showing up as invalid) but I sat and watched TV and let my phone ring TLDR: Made my hole boss fly to another city for a show and gave him fake tickets.

    Font - chibinoi I'm confused about one thing: why would you agree to get your boss and his wife tickets all of the times before, when they were your partner's tickets? Like, if I had a boss that was that mean to me, I sure as heck would not be hooking them up with free concerts and shows. 204 Reply Share

    Font - AdamHadEm720. I would have told boss to go himself the first time he asked me to work 13 hours straight without ot. He sure as hell wouldn't have gotten my concert tickets. "Sorry boss.... I have a concert to go to. "

    Font - Edit: I don't know how to explain this exactly... but this person is leveraging your employment to gain benefits that belong to you. And still doesn't want to pay you for your time. Take this to court immediately! There needs to be a president set in the US. Workers are totally taken advantage of and underpaid here. We shouldn't have to give our concert you tickets too.

    Font - Just-Fun7902. This revenge, while nice, does not seem in any way proportional to the level of holery this boss has shown to OP. Oh well, it's a small victory but that guy deserves so so much more.

    Font - ParentingTATA. I can't believe he was abusing his power to force you to give him YOUR FREE TICKETS that your partner got as a reward for their dedicated volunteering for what sounds like extensive charity work. Those charities give their best volunteers theater tickets and tickets to other events to reward them and thank them, to show grateful for work well done. She sounds one of those natural coordinators who are like a force of nature.

    Font - Then your boss comes along, sees his employee/minion/semi human with these nice tickets that their partner got for free: x"Well that can't be right! I deserve nice things. I'm the baddest evil boss in the world! I can think and grow rich! I'm thinking Well they obviously aren't going to use ALL of them....
