‘Trust me…’: Boss defends employees from client's unreasonable demands, securing over $100,000 in compensation for company and staff

Working in the notoriously ruthless corporate world, you need a manager who is supportive and caring and who will always look out for your best interests.

The story that follows tells the tale of a clever worker. The narrative of what happened to one of his close friends is told by the original poster (OP). The friend has worked at the same company for a long time. Before the trend of hybrid work, the friend's boss allowed the staff to work five days a month in the office and the rest of the week from home. At first, everything was going according to plan, and the setting was accommodating to everyone. That all changed, though, when a demanding client demanded that the workers handling his case handle it exclusively from the office. But instead of quietly complying with the customer's request, the boss decided to exact revenge on the entitled client and ensure that his staff benefited from the uncomfortable circumstance.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning how the manager exacted revenge and protected his staff from the client's scrutiny! Additionally, when you're done, don't forget to read the story of the man who disobeys the city council's commands!
