The IT situation was very close to a situation I experienced. A "business revitalizationist" came into the business I was working at to get us back on track after a dismal year ( owner/top salesman took almost a year off with no replacement and wondered why the sales and the business was really bad, duh). So I promptly told my co-workers to be prepared for massive layoffs. First she closed the factory for a month. Then one by one management was being let go. Now it was my turn. I ran the office staff, did all of the accounting with the help of a payroll clerk ( very important in a shoe shop that does a piecework payroll system), AP and AR clerks, and supervised the warehouse. If one of the office staff was on vacation or ill, I was the backup. So now my replacement arrives. His resume looks like a travel itinerary having changed jobs so frequently. His name was Dick, really. Worked my notice, gave him a list of my responsibilities, and I made it very, very clear that HE was now the backup to all of the positions in the office. I also made it very clear that he needed to learn the payroll system ASAP. Now most accountants understand and can do a normal payroll, but a piecework payroll system is another kind of beast. Low and behold 3 weeks after I left, I got a call. We need you to come back for a week. Oh, let me guess, Dick did NOT learn how to do payroll even though he knew the payroll clerk was at a week long seminar and now you can't pay the workers. No he did not. Please come back and we will pay you your salary for a week. Are you hiring me back? No, basically consult for a week and do payroll. No thank you. If you do not come back we will call unemployment and tell them you refused a job and you will lose your unemployment. You are NOT offering me a job. You want me to consult for week and then I'm not longer employed. So my price for a week is $2,000. No way. Well your high priced "business revitalizationist" and your "highly" experienced accountant can't do the work and I have skills that I value for $2,000. Take it or leave it. We're calling unemployment. Be my guest. I called unemployment first and they agreed with me. They offered me a consulting job not employment and the company could not pressure me into starting my own consulting business. The next thing I did was to make an impromptu visit to the owner of the business. Poor admin tried to stop me but I was too quick for her. I told him that in the future it would be very prudent NOT to let his accountant go, and then leave that person running his business while he went on vacation. He left me with full check signing authority on a good size line of credit. I also told him never to mess with me again. The factory came back for a while but within the year, all manufacturing was moved to China. Very sad.
The first story, is called constructive dismissal. Happened to a friend, he sued and won a large payout. Canadian law sees this scenario as an illegal workplace activity to bring in a relative, and force you out of your job.
Yeah. Didn't tell any of her coworkers. Until now. They may watch you tube. And like RedWheel. Or any of the other channels that run the same stories. But, this story is funny as hell. Only wish I thought of doing the same regarding a particular long haired coworker. Edit: Coworker from hell.
Hello RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for the storytelling time. Hello everyone hope you are all well to. Please stay safe all who reads this.🏴😷😁👍
At a previous job of mine, one of the co-owners allegedly embezzled from the company. The other owner bought out his shares to become the sole owner. I guess he didn't want to pursue criminal charges because the embezzler was also his cousin. But the embezzler's sister-in-law had been with the company for at least 25 years. She decided, all on her own, that the exit of her brother-in-law was a good time to get the hell out of Dodge.
The wig story is a perfect example of why you don’t mess with a Theater professional.. while I have some if my own, this is the best. Back in the Early 80’s, my wife, a theater professional like myself decided she wanted to work for a new attraction; of the time, a Renaissance Fai. The Pay was total crap, but it was good experience for talent as you had to stay. In. Character all day. The Fair works like 5his. The operators charge the craftspeople for a stall space as well as charging. The public to attend the fair. On the day before. The Fair opened, I brought my wife up to. The Fairground. During the operator’s orientation,they. Realized that they had forgotten to hire people to be their magnum puppeteers. Most especially to be their Dragon. It was deplorable as this was their second year of operation. Well since I, another Theater Professional, was there they asked me to. Do the job. However they also needed. an experienced Production assistant. So 5hey combined thejobs. This meant that I was paid as a staff member ( these were due to the fact that to sell wine and beer from the drink stalls, some people had to be direct. Employees under State liquor Laws) Talent was. Considered as independent contractors. Most of the time the talent were submissive however, there were some things that needed to be ironed out, but I digress. There was only one part of the Talent that had an actual contract with the operators. The Joust Company. These are theatrical fight professionals and stunt people. They had only one job , to have a joust at end of each day. This was the big show for the Fair. While the talent abounded throughout the day, this year, we created full appropriate medieval stories and had many actions to match Two of the characters were Robin Hood and the Sherif of Nottingham . ( Any story from the dim past was portrayed at a medieval fair) so, there were many of the talent that had took a dislike to the talent playing the Sherif. So small but time appropriate sanctions came into play such as having some of 5g3 wenches sidle up to hem to make him believe that they would show him a good time when what they did was to remove his doublet, and secret it to us as we had made a dummy that was then hung in effigy. All harmless but great fun and the crowds loved the antics so much, many came back the next week to see the antics.this boosted the ticket sales dramatically. It more than made up for the concessions they were forced to to accommodate to the talent. Such as a fair being weather dependent, if it rained at the fairground, the talent had to be paid 1/2 wages and the giving of meal tickets, as the food prices were high ( all Fair concessions along with the drinks booths) it was unreasonable that the performers would have to work a full day without breaks and also have to pay for their lunches. As Fairs like this are for limited engagements, nearing the end of the Fair, everyone was looking for their next jobs. This included the Joust Company. They had invited another Fair operator to view their current show. ( these operators were from 3000 miles away) however when the operator if this Fair got wind that the Joust Company had invited them the previous weekend, they were furious and fired the Company, However since this was on a Saturday, they insisted that the Jousters play out the weekend. As their Production assistant I was the one that had to inform the Joust Company. Fine with the Jousters. With the setup of the fairground, the back end of the fairgrounds had a fenced off area in which many of the performers and craftspeople used as a campground. So the word spread quickly. The next day, ( this was the Sunday of Labor Day weekend) the biggest day of the season, most of the day went very smoothly until the End Show. This was held on the largest open space on the fairground and the grass along the bowl shaped side for the audience could half around 3-4000 people. The show began as usual, some comical acts, St George killing me the dragon, a fight between Robin Hood and the Sherif of Nottingham and finally the Joust. Usually the Joust would last about 20 minutes. There would be Joust round with hits on shields, broken lances, until finally one or the other would be hit from their horse an fall to the ground and either get up to have a broadsword fight or just to have died in the joust. This was up to the Jousters. So the Joust begins, with the first hit, both Jousters fall down dead. Total time 3 minutes. The operators were stuck in amazement but could do nothing. Then while still trying to process this, the went to the main lane only to find that during the EndShow, most of the crafts people had packed up and left before the end of the show. This hurt them even more as there was still another weekend for the Fair to run and without that weekend’s craftspeople’s rent, they were in a big hole to the owner of the fairgrounds. Moral: don’t mess with Theater Professionals. Epilogue: many of the performers went on to very successful careers in entertainment my wife was one of them, having made many commercials, films and Television appearances, another became a regular on SNL and Robin Hood went on and had a musical career as a Mick Jagger look alike.
How is it, that in "r/TalesFromRetail" and "r/IDown'tWorkHere" story everything is perfect, but in the "r/prorevenge" stories, the audio is all over the place? Loud, too silent, damp, crystal clear - all within a video.
Last story...bloody brilliant! That is a mind I can appreciate. The sheer cunning and deviousness to come up with that is a super Nova of genius. Kudos OP. 🏆🏆🏆
And you'd think at least a percentage of "bad bosses" would read these, and be ultra careful with IT guys, right? Just like food servers...treat 'em right, and all is well.
I was listening to the 3rd story (which is great) & looked at my phone and there was an advertisement for a female baldness. Where I fell off my chair laughing.
She should have told her co workers about cutting and dropping pieces of the wig. By only if they were sitting at a booth or table, they would be laughing so hard that they would fall off a stool. 😀
Uhm The story where the OP says that mentions Florida being a Right to work state doesn't know what he's talking about. Right-To-Work states are states with laws that prevent Unions from forcing every employee to join and pay dues in order to work at that job. There are no "Union Shops" in Right-To-Work states. Employees are free to choose if they want to join a union. What the OP is describing is At-Will-Employment. In U.S. labor law (not state law), at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning, as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's race, religion or sexuality, etc), and the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work without warning.
Had a friend in sales. The VP of sales / marketing instructed her to do something during the last year the company was a live. She knew it would result in her being fired. The VP fired her and kept his job for 3 months before he was layed off as the company died.
That is UNION BS at the start of the "Boss fired me" story! Right to work has NOTHING to do with firing people at will! "Right to Woek" means people are allowed to get jobs and negotiate on their own behalf, rather that being FORCED to join a union to work and pay union DUES, and give up rights, and have UNION THUGS control their benefits, pay, and retirement plans! What is described is actually called "At Will" labor laws, and few states have that. Unions constantly lie about "Right to Work Laws" because they want the money and power.
Document everything if working for bad managers. Find out your legal rights. If the supervisor, manager, higher ups never said that they made a threat, threatened to fire, wrongfully fired you, etc., you have the documentation as proof. Go to HR, with an attorney present.
RW: At the start of the 2nd story, You said "My Supervisor got ____ Fired to save his job,.... The line actually said "My Supervisor got ME Fired to save his job, ....

I studied IT. It ain't easy to replace workers when the replacement has no idea how the place runs to begin with.
I absolutely love the wig girl story. She was a badass.
Yeah. Didn't tell any of her coworkers. Until now. They may watch you tube. And like RedWheel. Or any of the other channels that run the same stories. But, this story is funny as hell. Only wish I thought of doing the same regarding a particular long haired coworker. Edit: Coworker from hell.
Me, too! What a perfect way to get rid of a crazy!
Last story was AWESOME!! Sounds like something I would do!
You accidentally overlapped two music tracks starting the second story.
fuck it was horrible to.listen to.
Oh thank goodness! I thought it was me
Hello RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for the storytelling time. Hello everyone hope you are all well to. Please stay safe all who reads this.🏴😷😁👍
Sound editing has gone nuts on this one. Very distracting.
Probably the nephew from the story was messing around
@@falconsalvadowakotarius2499 bwahahaha, good one!
Yesssss! Like two different background sounds were playing over each other. And why was he speed talking???
Seem to be having slight audio issues
I wonder how long all the friends and family lasted after the supervisor was fired.
At a previous job of mine, one of the co-owners allegedly embezzled from the company. The other owner bought out his shares to become the sole owner. I guess he didn't want to pursue criminal charges because the embezzler was also his cousin.

They always think giving friends jobs is a great idea 💡. Then they find out what a dumb idea it was 🙄😒

I can answer a phone. That makes me a phone maintenance expert right? lol.
The second story was confusing because names were not used. 😅😅
That rachel story is top notch revenge.
Don't mess with us IT guys. We can really make your life awful. lol
And you'd think at least a percentage of "bad bosses" would read these, and be ultra careful with IT guys, right? Just like food servers...treat 'em right, and all is well.

I've heard the first and last story several times now. :-(
The audio on the intro to the first video says, "My supervisor got fired," instead of, "My supervisor fired ME." Geez...
Part about the hair loss was devilishly delightful
If a company has IT reporting to the CFO, you need to find a new job cause that business will fail. Guaranteed!!!!!
RW: At the start of the 2nd story, You said "My Supervisor got ____ Fired to save his job,.... The line actually said "My Supervisor got ME Fired to save his job, ....
Worked at a company where their motto was if it ain't broke brake it than fix it
That last story would make a good comedy or psycho thriller.
But playstation is like IT, how could it go wrong
Sound and audio problems on this one? Gotta listen to the stories again as it was very distracting.
Omg dual tracks running in the backround is killing me...I can't focus on anything else
You have two background songs at the same time
Nepotism never really works out for anyone.
That was so beutiful. Poetic evil!
The stock music being sped up is a little disconcerting
Good afternoon RedWheel!
Going to night shift after this vid
Will we ever hear a nuclear or atomic revenge ?
This comment is a dislike for the music issues.
Loved the last story. Great idea
I'd have put the remains of the wig up at the office after she quit the job
last story is just evil i like it.
lol the music
hahaha that last one was great :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Florida men!?!

I feel sorry for the wig
