• In this story, an employee put a newly promoted team leader back in his place after he demanded that his colleagues come to a happy hour with him every month. His reasoning for this is that his promotion to lead had been considered unfair, and he had gone from being disliked to hated after he had taken the promotion.

  While many complied with this new rule, this employee realized that, from a legal perspective, he and his colleagues did not have to attend. He made the small move of pointing that out and watched as the plans that this much-reviled supervisor had unravelled.
