'The entire sector didn't get raises that year': Employee gets revenge by raising KPI averages to a point where their boss loses their bonus and raise

They say the best revenge is achieving personal success, but sometimes it's more than that… It's the pathway to it. After all, performing well above requirements isn't always going to win you friends and is more likely to put a target on your back for everyone who is just there to earn a paycheck and who you're making look bad in comparison. See, when you prove what's possible to an employer, they start wondering why everyone else isn't being as productive as you are and are bound to start asking questions and shaking trees to determine why on earth everyone else is dragging the chain. Of course, there are sometimes very good reasons why everyone else isn't pulling the same numbers, so expecting the same from everyone doesn't really make sense, but that won't stop your employer from raising everyone else's KPIs to meet the numbers you're pulling in.

This is what this worker used to get back at their boss, pulling in such high numbers that it raised the KPI averages of the sector, meaning that the rest of the productive workers didn't hit them, which meant that the bosses didn't get their raise or bonuses as a result. Read on to see their clever act of revenge and the reactions their story generated.
