'We are going to make a custom cake to rub it in': Petty boss plans to mock employee on their last day, weighs options for how to get even

When numerous employees leave a company in a short amount of time, you would think the boss would decide to start being nice. Unfortunately, that would require having faith that bosses had enough self-awareness to know that they might be part of the problem. It goes back to the classic "if everyone else is crazy, you're the one who is insane" saying. But of course, we cannot expect the horrible bosses of the world to wake up from their deluded simulation of reality and realize that their experience is not the center of the universe. Or perhaps to realize, at the very least, that their behavior and their actions have consequences.

This boss dropped a hint to this Redditor that they were going to make a custom cake to "rub it in" on their last day at the company. First of all, rub in what? The fact that OP is off to bigger and better things? Since making that comment, OP has been dreading the potential humiliation on their final day. Some folks in the comments section gave amusing options for OP to pursue. My personal favorite is for them to come in, take the cake as soon as it arrives, and get out before any party. That way, they won't suffer any humiliation but will also get to enjoy the cake entirely on their own. And who doesn't want that?
