Sometimes it feels like work takes up more of our free time than it should, and sadly, not many of us are given an opportunity to actually do anything about it. When this guy's self-titled "boss" told him that he'd have to work on vacation, he figured out a way to get what he wanted and also make it more miserable for the jerk who tried to tell him what to do. Check this out for a story of a guy who got petty email revenge on the company that fired him.

    IT guy plan - Text - TL;DR: Guy who thinks he's my boss gives me grief for using vacation time. Insists I work even when on vacation. I point out he doesn't do the same. His reasoning is because he goes to places where there is no cell service or internet I use his logic and become unreachable leaving him with fielding all IT related issues for a week
