Have you ever been so mad at work that you consider quitting on the spot? With high-stress positions and jobs where your boss is a total meanie-pants, it's easy to find yourself in a fight or flight situation. Since it's frowned upon to fight your boss, I guess 'flight' it is! But what are the ultimate repercussions of a rage-quitting scenario? Does your boss even feel the effects of a lost employee or will they simply move on without you? 

Well, according to this guy on Reddit, an apparent vengeance master, he's spent several long shifts contemplating the downfall of his own terrible boss. 

After years of working as a front desk manager of a small hotel, u/WarmPissu started getting tired of getting taken advantage of by his snobby, entitled boss. Luckily for him, this seething energy festered over long nights at the front desk alone, leaving him plenty of time to formulate the perfect plan–a kamikaze mission that would not only relieve him of the workplace but punish his boss as well. 

Keep scrolling to read how this guy ideated the perfect plan to burn an employment bridge while taking out the formidable foe (known as your manager) at the same time.

    Let's say you're the only person working at a hotel during your shift. If you do a no call no show. it gives your boss time to find someone to replace you. So he can prevent any damage done to the company.

    However if you show up to work, clock in. THEN leave. he won't know that there's no employees at the property.

    This allows the entire facility to go 8+ hours without any employees. By the time your boss wakes up, the damage is already done.

    30+ people will be unable to get into their room. People will loot the place. the place would get review bombed. He would lose long-term guests.

    Princess_Moon_But Call your boss an hour or two before your shift. Just ask something innocuous, like "Hey, just making sure- I'm supposed to come in tonight, right?".

    Then after the fact, claim that you were calling in sick. All they can see is that you called; they can't tell what you two discussed. But why would you call him other than to say that you weren't going to be in?

    sommeil ___ My dream scenario of doing this as a waitress is going to work. Waiting to have a full section when the restaurant is slammed for dinner. Ring in thousands of dollars worth of food for every table open all at once. Leave the building as the kitchen starts making it.

    I have no idea how anyone could unfuck what should or shouldn't be made and what goes where or how they would know it was all simply made up orders

    ProfuseMongoose This reminds me of an old friend of mine. He was working doubles as a bartender and constantly getting shafted by the owners of the small bar he had to manage. One day the owner came in mad about

    something he did and took the jar of his tips. This was late afternoon on a Friday. He didn't freak out, he just propped the bar door open and left. No other employees since he was carrying the full load of the business. He knew the owners wouldn't be in until Monday. Downtown location too. Total shame..

    ranting and he just said "I'll come back tomorrow better have my pay and a 1099 for me." The owner offered to pay him for the day he didn't work to keep his mouth shut about the 1099. Bro still called and reported them, they lost their liquor license and sold the deli in the debacle that followed. .
