They say you can't have your cake and eat it too– and when you're working in a corporate wasteland of business casual dress codes, a haughty sales team, and pushy supervisors, it's tough to secure your own slice. Sometimes employees will crumble under the pressure of toxic positivity, but others will go to great lengths to get their revenge against C-level management. And in this case, one employee pushed the boundaries and broke the rules just to get himself a bite of recognition in the workplace.

u/litbeavis worked in the back offieces of a corporate startup. Working with the tech team, he was behind the scenes on most of their opperations, running the company from behind the curtain. But did OP ever get recognized for his hard work? Of course not. Instead, he endured years of belittlement and reprimanding chatter from his higher-ups, until one day he decided to get sweet, sweet revenge. Enjoy this full story of frosted revenge, which can be celebrated over a slice (or two) of well-deserved cake. Afterwards, enjoy this equally tasty tale of an audacious company that uses a BYOB potluck to "congratulate" their employees for working 80 hour weeks.
