'I knew I was getting fired': Retail manager creates the world's hardest passwords just before getting fired

One retail worker inspired us all with the way they got back at the company that was going to fire them. 

There's a reason most companies fire people in the most private way possible. Usually, the person will be called into a meeting with HR at a time when few employees are around. After HR breaks the news, the person might have to sign a few papers, but their desk will be cleared out for them and they'll be escorted out the door. I mean, that's the professional and careful way to do things, but not every business operates so seamlessly. 

This person got to live out the scorned workers' dream. As a manager, they were unfairly blamed for the actions of an employee working under them. But of course, as a manager, they were responsible. Realizing they were about to be let go, this manager decided to leave a lasting mark on the company by being as petty as they could be. In the comments section, people were divided about the original poster's approach. Some said that the manager deserved to get the boot, while others encouraged them to find even pettier ways to get back at the next employer to mess with them. 

Next up, these oversharers on social media really need to be unfriended ASAP.
