'So I was fired [...] Over this': Employee fired for refusing to break a customer's large bill four months ago, causes split reactions

When you get fired, usually you have an idea of what went wrong… even if it wasn't necessarily your fault. But here, we have an instance in which an employee was told they violated so many rules and genuinely had no clue what was meant by that. After some investigating, they discovered that a manager had it out for them ever since the employee refused to break a customer's large bill four months ago. Talk about a particularly specific vendetta to hold against someone! 

While I personally have never been in this situation, I can at the very least sympathize with the experience of having a coworker who simply has a problem with you and wants to sabotage your future for no justifiable reason. Thankfully, this person was not a manger or someone higher up, which meant that they were completely hopeless in actualizing their dream of somehow getting me fired. That being said, the day-to-day was wildly unpleasant. In the end, however, I kept my head down and focused on my work, while the employee spent far too much time and energy focused on me, which led to their own mistakes and, ultimately, dismissal. Oh well! Karma is real.
