Update: 'You just have to work harder': Employee gets back at boss by writing essay about his poor management, quits as organization goes under

Sometimes, the best way to get payback at work is to wait to quit until it's the perfect time to do so. What does that mean, exactly? Well, quitting when you haven't yet made everyone know how valuable you are is definitely not the move. You want them to know what they are missing when you leave so that it's all the more dramatic. You also want to wait until the perfect opportunity has come along so you won't have any dark nights of the soul where you regret your decision and try to convince yourself that you'd rather be miserable there. 

This Redditor understood that the moment she knew she needed to quit didn't necessarily mean she should leave right then and there. It meant she needed to lie low for a bit, figure out the perfect strategy, and make sure she got the pettiest payback on her boss. It started with a bogus assignment he gave to their team about how management could be improved, which OP knew would not be taken seriously because every previous attempt to offer better solutions was rejected. So, she decided to use Chat GPT to write the most long-winded answer ever. 

Keep scrolling below for the original post and all of the subsequent updates, culminating in a resignation that aligned with several other departures from members of her team. Talk about an epic way to go out! For more content like this, here is another post about an employee who had to wait all day to be fired.
