Workplace revenge stories
Here are the 10 best workplace revenge stories:- “The cling film over the toilet seat thing is so last year. To get my own back on miserable colleagues, I fixed the light sensor in the loos to plunge the room into darkness after one minute. Just time enough to settle down on the toilet, I should imagine.”
- “I’m a manager. If my staff annoy me, I schedule a long meeting with loads of trivial points on the agenda, and then lie about having to be elsewhere after ten minutes. Guarantees at a good hour of peace and quiet at my desk.”
- “Always make sure there’s a huge wheelie bin parked in the boss’s personal parking space. Sends a message.”
- “I left a message on a colleague’s desk saying ‘Please phone Liz’. It was the number for Buckingham Palace.”
- “Garage mechanic here. Give us grief about your repair job, and we’ll change all the pre-sets on your car radio.”
- “I work in a shop. Got my own back on the boss for his petty penny-pinching and refusal to pay more than minimum wage by passing (ahem) special discounts on to customers.”
- “Horrible in retrospect. I got stiffed by a company on a huge business deal, so I set up meetings with them, pretending to be a new customer in Penzance. They’re based in Sheffield. On the day, got a load of panicked emails from the sales-team driving round Cornwall trying to find my offices. Pure joy.”
- “My boss took credit for a 350-page report I wrote and got a huge bonus. I complained and got shifted to the bad debts department. Was it wrong of me wipe all of his department’s computer files and get him suspended? Probably illegal.”
- “Nothing says revenge better than the contents of a packet of fish fingers concealed in the office of the colleague who had you disciplined for no reason at all.”
- “Former bus driver. Rude to me when you get on? I might not hear the bell when you’re trying to get off. Especially if it’s raining.”
