'If you hire her, I'll quit': Employee terminates job candidate's offer after finding out the candidate is her old boss

One thought consistently haunts my brain, and that is you never know who might end up being your boss in the future… Karen from accounting who you suspect has taken your lunch at least seven times? You never know. It's not like upper management consists of the brightest crayons in the box… The proof is in the pudding with that one.

This employee shared her own micromanager horror story on Reddit and explained the various ways in which her manager would make her feel like NOTHING she did was right. That kind of reminds me of my last manager, but we don't talk about her out of respect for the living. Back to the story… OP was fed up with her boss but there wasn't much she could do, and eventually, she was laid off and was freed from dealing with her anyway, so her life went on and she kind of forgot all about it.

6 years later, she found out that her old boss had applied for a position at the company she worked at, and that did not sit right with her at all. So, she began enacting some well-deserved petty revenge. Next up, an underpaid employee who got a $10,000 raise after he took PTO on a whim.
