Sometimes it is a matter of clarity. My previous boss knew I was reliable and did many things. He never actually counted them however. Accrued duties. And he had an odd mindset. Part of the holdings for the company were two 'new' electric typewriters. That my boss had purchased in the 1970's. Since he was the only owner he kept seeing them as new. So the people that bought the place were baffled at what was and was not actually there. Also who knew what, as the person in charge of sending service out had acquired the extra duty but actually had no experience. So she consulted with the only person left that had worked with the service department. (And had supplied knowledge to them on things they did not know about certain parts. Like backward compatibility) So when the new people let the shipping department go. They let go the people their own service department had been consulting with.
They dont know their business and workes well enough. A good boss/CEO knows the people that works for him and what they can and can not do. That way he can keep it runnng efficiently. IMHO. You dont sell the engine in your car to get money for gas.. 😛 Same way as you dont fire important personell to save money.. hehe
What did they think would happen, trying to force him to us-or-lose all that vacation and train his replacements? It's actually laughable how they thought he's happily train them and give up all that vacation, then probably get fired right before he could retire. I like how he used the laws and rules to defeat them. So awesome.
1st story Bending over to take abuse from a MIL and then sneaking around with anonymous revenge is a total coward move. First you confront the abuse when it occurs, and when the MIL fails to learn (because they are a Karen)... then carry out the revenge... then at some point you got to own up to the revenge, because i think revenge is not revenge until the Karen knows that you did that, and WHY you did that, and therefore they come to know that suffering they endured was brought about by their bad behavior.
@@Kayenne54 - too be honest, i am naturally inclined to be passive aggressive, and a coward emotionally... But i have also learnt that just because i have those feelings, it does not have to control my choices, and when i make bold choices and chose to stand up for myself even though everything inside is screaming to hide away... after a while my emotions start to follow the lead of my choices.... its like it gets turned around, instead of emotions leading my choices, my choices lead my emotions! Good life advice i think! lol
The story doesn't sound right. The guy was the only guy who knew how to fix the line. No company would depend on one guy to fix their livelihood. What would have happened if the guy died of a heart attack, the company would have shut down because he was the only one who knew how to fix things.

I loved the line “holding down the couch all day to make sure it didn’t run away“.

1. That was clever
2. That's called using your head... Just wow
Some CEO bean counters deserve exactly what they get. Hell in the end.
First story : perfect, traceless, simple revenge.
What's wrong with a guy not working? My wife doesn't work, I make enough so she doesn't have to. If you love your partner don't you want them to have the easiest life you can give them?
Thanks again for the stories. Why do higher-ups push the people who are really keeping things moving? Will never understand

the man played the game well and won. this was actually a good story.
To the hero of the last story,
Oo! F-ing! Rah! Not a Marine, but the hero was.

I read "Call me a w" in the intro to the first story, and only whilst listening to the story worked out that it didn't stand for wanker.
#2 seems more like a prorevenge or even nuclear
Oh boy! Are you people believing this stuff?
Last: The British have a saying: Penny ($ 0.01) wise, Pound ($ 1.15) foolish
It's awesome how the robotic voice didn't read the spelling and grammatical errors.
Great job.
S1: MIL, seeing DIL wearing nicer than usual clothes: You are a wxoxe!
DIL: It takes one to know one!
Seriously do CEO’s not know who owns the patents
Usually only the COO knows. CEOs don't concern themselves with details.
Excellent stories…some management never learns!
"ex's mom main job to hold down the couch so it doesn't run away". 😂
story 1 - the perfect crime
Wow, you managed to read everything that was on the screen, but almost without all the typos!

Well they've had the 3 guys, right? The one they fired, the one who died and the hero
Now does the guy training get paid to train
last story, given the retirement age changes, could sound like it happened in Switzerland...
Could be Canada too
If you are sending people to my home, I will invite some people to the party (the police).
That was just mean but I love your revenge with shirking her clothes
Ok, I know what a B and C are and even an A or AH, but what is a W?
A pro stitute. (never know what this site will flag/censor.)

Maths are wrong..... 26 to 64 is 38 not 44.
