‘Have fun replacing every lock…’: After getting wrongfully fired, employee leaves workplace with all their keys, causing management to spend thousands on changing locks

We all, at some point, have to do things at work that are not part of our job description and have nothing to do with our actual role. When one is asked to do something outside of their role, they tend to agree, mostly to stay on good terms with their manager, and in hopes that doing so will benefit them in the future. It is all part of a workplace strategy in order to get ahead.

So what can one do when they are not only asked to do things above their pay grade but also blamed for mistakes made by people who didn't do their job properly? Sadly, the answer is not much, and they often end up like the person who wrote this Reddit story—unemployed.

OP (original poster) was an employee at a store who was required to do management tasks when he was not actually a manager. Then, OP was blamed for a shortage in the cash register and was fired. Fortunately, OP left the job with one more card up his sleeve and made the people who fired him regret that decision.
