This might be petty, but it is extremely satisfying to hear that the toxic company you worked for and carried on your back is crumbling without you. Even though you might actually care about the work or the clients, if you left (or even asked to leave) without being appreciated, it feels good to know that at least karma had your back.

Which is what happened to this employee in this Reddit story.

OP didn't like being underappreciated, so they left shortly after that.
