‘Uno reverse card played’: New woodwork shop president fires employee for discovering insider theft, employee then tricks company out of $11,000 and wins $400

Want to have a good laugh about a shady company getting its comeuppance? Then, boy, did we find the story for you! There's no laugh quite as hearty as one you have reading about a nefarious upper management getting what they deserve. 

This upper management team started going downhill when a new president was hired. A members-funded woodwork shop in Australia had a very expensive piece of machinery that nobody knew how to use. A couple of employees took it upon themselves to learn and fix up this old machine to make it serviceable—and they did! So it started getting used and helping the shop to make a small profit. However, one of these ambitious employees discovered a theft happening inside the company and when he brought it up to the new president, he was fired. Shady AF. Luckily, he was the only one who knew how to use the machine and he happened to leave the emergency stop on. So the evil upper management thought it was broken. This is when the now ex-employee took his revenge and tricked the company out of making $11k and he won $400 in wagers on his revenge. We can't make this stuff up—read it below!
