'A lawyer's pro revenge on his boss': Lawyer racks up 100 hours of overtime to spite lazy boss

If your boss tried to ruin your holidays, you'd be seeking revenge too.

After working roughly 50 weeks out of the year, having a vacation is so necessary. It makes you remember what life is all about: having a ton of fun with the people you love most. Whether you're taking a week to go to the beach with your kids or grabbing five of your close friends and going to Vegas, it's great to focus on having fun and relaxing. I imagine that's also especially true for workaholics. If you're working 80-100 hours per week, as many lawyers do, you probably view those days off with reverence.

This lawyer had a trip planned around the holidays. That makes it even worse that their boss then tried to get them to work through the entire vacation! It seems like the boss, who was aiming to be a partner at this law firm, was only focused on his own needs. He really couldn't care less about his employee, u/Calledinthe90s.

Read this excellently written pro-revenge story below. Then, this low-paid intern was forced to work on their own laptop, so when their company wouldn't send them a replacement when theirs broke, the intern just decided not to work anymore.
