'He's coming after my pay': Vindictive manager docks overworked employee's pay, employee leaves business in shambles

When managers get frustrated by their own incompetence, it's common for them to blame anyone but themselves. That seems to be the case with this local company, where an employee practically dragged her boss and manager into the 21st century by updating their business and payment structure. Of course, the manager did not adapt well to this change and decided that the reason could only be that his younger coworker was causing all the problems.

Now, the other important layer to this story is that the store in which they worked was located in a small town, where everyone knew everyone else's business. In fact, the manager knew this Redditor back when she was a teenager and when he was fully dating her Mom (the drama!). After the manager decided to turn the owner of the store against the Redditor, he managed to convince said owner to remove his coworker from being salaried to freelance. This was the final straw for the employee, who ended up easily finding better work elsewhere and who was finally done with being loyal to the company and with all the small-town gossip.

Keep scrolling below to see their final act of malicious compliance. For more stories like this, here is one about an employee who got back at their boss after he tried to cheat them out of their well-deserved bonus.
