It's nice to know that you're needed and appreciated both in your work and in other areas of your life. But when appreciation is out of the question… a frantic phone call from your (very) recently ex-employer's HR department, proving that your necessity, will do.
It's not uncommon for those prone to giving into their anger to make unwise decisions in the midst of that anger, and that can put you in some unfortunate situations when that person is your boss—or holds some other form of authority over you. When you're in this position, you have to constantly let yourself be victimized by their tantrums, as even attempting to speak a word to your own defense will send them further reeling uncontrolled into rage.

That's how things came to a head when this developer found themself offside with their hostile, rage-prone boss, standing up for themselves during one of their boss's rage-fueled tirades. After some strong words were exchanged, their boss blocked the developer's number, so they decided to go to lunch. During their lunch, their email stopped working. They then found a barrage of messages from their boss that culminated, ultimately, in their effective firing.
When sharing this initial experience with a popular online community, where users share employment stories and discuss workplace issues, the worker seemed optimistic and keen to move on to greener pastures, noting that their lunch tasted “extra lovely” once they knew they didn't have to return to that place.
In the aftermath, their boss went through removing their access to the company's servers and, in a blundering error, deleted the developer's account in the process. Instantly, almost as if there was an actual karmic pendulum swinging back to knock the boss on their rear, everything stopped working. In deleting the developer's account, vital connection strings had been broken, meaning that the servers were no longer communicating with the company's software.
They shared their story of this aftermath in an update, telling of how things had played out since their firing and garnering a large response from readers who had been intently following the story.
