Manager Fires Employee During Boss's Vacation and Costs Company $200K, CEO Returns and Rehires Employee with Raise and Promotion: 'I personally thanked [the manager] on my first week back'

Finally, a bad manager getting the karma he deserves. This manager made such a wrong call that he nearly cost the company 200 thousand dollars. Ouch. At the company, a particular manager is a real stickler for the rules and has always had it out for one particular employee. After firing him under trivial circumstances, what the manager didn't know was that this employee was responsible for a very expensive piece of software for which he was the only one at the company with a license to. Well, when the big boss man was out on a two-month-long vacation (cries in PTO), the very important employee was terminated, and his laptop was taken. Let's just say when word got to the CEO, he was not happy. All he could do at this point was offer the terminated employee his job back. And boy, did the terminated employee have leverage. He literally got a 100% raise. Keep reading to see all that he was able to negotiate from the company that needed him back so badly.
