  • This is the type of harmless behavior that we love to see.

    The user's higher-up has no empathy when it comes to his employees, so why should this user hold any empathy for him? At the end of the day, these bosses must reap what they sow… and if chili is the way to make that happen, grab your forks and knives!

    Karma has a funny way of finding those who are in need of a moral lesson, and the icing on the cake is the emotional turmoil the boss must have gone through after thinking his magic chili finger lost its touch. Now, whenever he makes his favorite, previously famous chili, he'll be reminded of the employee who quit in search of greener pastures and how they dropped a chili-shaped bombshell on him. What's even better than petty revenge? Tasty revenge!
