Workplace bullies are the worst for an obscene amount of reasons.  The first is that you couldn't leave even if you wanted to because you came here to work, not to have fun. So either you give in to the bully or lose it and end up losing your job.

The story that follows is about an emerging adult who is entering the workforce for the very first time. Unfortunately, OP had to deal with the worst workplace bully I have ever heard of. Nevertheless, as fate would have it, OP saw his chance and seized it, leaving his bully abandoned and by himself by the side of the road. It seems that karma, or as we like to call it, petty revenge, never fails to let us down. Overall, I will say that this little tale of retaliation is a huge success. So, if you're curious to find out what pushed OP to exact the sweet revenge, just keep scrolling and check out the story below! And when you're done, check out the story about a team of employees who humbled their micromanaging boss here!
