'You don't get a job': Nurse manager refuses to hire nurse who was unpleasant towards them earlier in their career

It's rather poetic when, in life, someone's misdeeds come back full circle to bring their entitled approach to life back down to earth. It's the kind of thing you only really expect to see in stories—namely the type you read in high school literally class that your teacher picks apart and overanalyses in excruciating detail.

But, it does happen, and you won't forget it when it does. In the workplace, it usually occurs in the form of an ill-mannered ex-colleague or boss applying for a job at your new company. This can happen years and years down the line, long after you've both left the original roles where you've met. Chances are that you're now a manager in charge of your own team and, well, if they haven't fixed their attitude issues chances are that they're still exactly where they were before in their careers. This presents you with the unique chance of declining to hire them into your new organization.
