One former employee was bitter towards their old job, and rightfully so.

You know when you're putting in a lot of overtime, basically pouring your heart and soul into a job, only to be rewarded with minimum wage? Who am I kidding, of course you do. Everyone has worked at a toxic company at one point or another in their lives. And unfortunately, not many of us get the chance to get back at them after we move on to better things.

This employee, on the other hand, got their chance. When they had worked as a videographer at their old job, they were creating up to 50 videos a day… And still being paid a little more than minimum wage. After realizing that their work was making the company money, they asked for a raise. Not only were they denied, but they were fired for even asking. A few years later, this employee had a golden opportunity for payback and went for it. Scroll down to read what happened, and then check out these entertaining micromanagement stories told by employees who are over it.
