‘No vacation for you!’: Overworked employee gets back at micromanager by quitting without notice the day before manager's big vacation, leaving him no choice but to cancel it

When employees end up leaving their jobs, more often than not, they don't leave because of the job itself, they leave because of the people there, or more specifically, because of their boss. It can be really disappointing to actually enjoy your job but feel like you have to leave because you cannot work with the people around you.

The employee in this Reddit story felt like they had no choice but to leave precisely because of these reasons. After OP (original poster) got skipped over a big promotion for a clueless new hire who became the manager, OP had to deal with this manager's incompetence. Already feeling disappointed from the lack of promotion, OP could not deal with this new micromanager, so they found a clever way to get revenge on him – by quitting and making him cancel his big vacation.
