‘Sure thing, boss!’: Newly-hired toxic manager fires dedicated employee for only completing tasks within his job description, entire department ‘collapses’ as a result

As an employee, one of your biggest fears might be getting assigned a new direct boss after working with one you highly respected—especially when this boss respects you, too. Finding a boss who listens to you and appreciates all of the work you do cultivates a work environment where you can deliver your best results and keep the company running smoothly in every other regard.

When your favorite higher-up gets booted from the picture and another entitled know-it-all attempts to run things (despite not knowing how,) it's in your best interest to lay low, keep doing what you're doing, and hope you can stay under the radar. The employee in this next story tried to do so but ended up writing his own work eulogy instead. 

After doing tasks outside of his job description for years, his new boss told him to knock it off. The employee complies but is soon let go because he isn't doing enough. Seems like they just needed an excuse to oust the one employee that kept their company afloat—which was a terrible, terrible idea. Scroll to read.
