'Ok, but it’ll cost you £1m': Engineer makes technical manual filled with memes and quits after being demoted for boss's arrogant mistake

There's nothing worse than working for someone who is as arrogant as they are irresponsible. You'll soon find yourself doing all of the work to keep the company above water while getting absolutely no recognition or thanks for it. 

That's the situation this worker found themselves in tasked with expanding production and business operations for the small business owner that they worked for. They crafted and executed their plan only to be stonewalled by their boss when it came to paying to hire the right staff to operate the production line. 

They were blamed and demoted but still tasked with operating their improperly staffed and understaffed creation. So, they quit, but not before filling the "manuals" they had been requested to write to train their replacement with nothing but memes which led to a missed deadline that cost their employer £1m. For those wondering what this amounts to in freedom units, that's about $1.3M. That's a hefty price to pay for arrogance.
