'Micromanage me? Go ahead': Fast food workers band together to get micromanaging shift supervisor fired

Sure, it takes a detail-oriented person to manage a restaurant, but some supervisors are not cut out for it simply because they are too intense. These micromanagers tend to be unable to pivot if unforeseen circumstances arise. They also tend to be extremely frustrated when employees make judgment calls and handle their tasks differently. In other words, micromanagers rarely make genuinely good bosses. Instead, the only thing they are successful at is making enemies out of the people who work for them.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/mattimeomeg, who worked at a certain well-known fast food establishment that uses "a giant M" for its logo. The original poster's manager was particularly a stickler when it came to closing down the restaurant. Hs very specific way of doing things often meant that employees had to leave at 1:00 in the morning as a result of his obsessiveness. Eventually, he and his coworker could not take it anymore and decided to enact some much-deserved petty revenge.
