A woman shared her neighbor’s son’s story of petty retribution on an online community.
*Names have been altered by the sharer to shield identities.
He Was Stoked To Finally Launch His Career.
A young man named *Garth was over the moon when he landed a job that should have been a promising start to a glittering career.
“Garth graduated college about this time last year and got his first full-time career job at a company. He’s in the IT dept of a branch office and does IT things. *Karen is the office manager.”
They Started Taking Advantage.
Initially, when Garth started, two other people were on his team, but eventually, they both left and were never replaced.
“Garth had three times the work without receiving a raise. He voiced his concerns to Karen about workload and callouts, and he got the standard feeble corporate responses and condescending lecture.”
He Should Have Quit Then And There.
But instead, Garth decided to give it a bit more time in hopes that the company would begin to see his worth.
“Whenever I spoke with him, he’d say how bad it was working for Karen, but his saving grace was he was in his solitary office most of the day and did not have to have much contact with her. Until one day back in February. He got a phone call from Karen telling him to come upstairs.”
Karen Was Abusing Her Position.
She expected him to do work that wasn’t in his job description.
“Upon arriving, he’s directed to start moving furniture around. Garth looks around and tells Karen his job does not call for moving heavy objects. Karen gets loud and calls his manhood into question in front of everyone but Garth does not budge.”
A Grudge Was Forming.
Karen didn’t let this incident go.
“Life changed for Garth after that. Karen had decided to make work miserable for him. She started repeatedly writing him up for whatever she could think up.”
An Opportunity For Revenge Arose.
Upon learning a piece of valuable information, Garth saw his opportunity for a bit of payback.
“Garth starts snooping and discovers that Karen is having an affair with a married co-worker. Their work phones are synced up to the computer system, which Garth can access.”
Explicit Messages… That Everyone Is About To See.
Garth knew what he had to do.
“Garth created a mass corporate email with various screenshots of the highly inappropriate messages. He rigged it to be sent out today – from her email account.”
Karen Thought She’d Won.
She thought she’d succeeded in bullying him out the door, but she was in for a shock.
“The beauty of it all: Garth walked in Friday and tendered his resignation to corporate HR. He left his ID card and whatever else on Karen’s desk. Karen made a big deal of shouting to Garth as he was leaving to ‘not let the door hit him in the butt on the way out!’”
They Won’t Be Able To Prove It.
The whole office is in for a shock.
“When the email is sent out, they may well suspect that Garth was the perpetrator, but they’ll never be able to prove it. I can only hope Garth’s revenge is sweet and spectacular.”
A Few Days Later…
The email was scheduled to go out on Memorial Day (Monday, 29th May). The next day, Garth received a lot of calls.
“He ignored them all. A person from corporate HR eventually sent him a text requesting an exit interview ‘in order to get his final paycheck.’ Garth replied, declined the interview, and informed them he expected to receive his final paycheck in a timely manner as required by law.”
He Has A New Job Lined Up.
And his old company now doesn’t have an IT department. What they do have, however, is one very red-faced Karen.
Garth’s neighbor felt compelled to share this tale on his behalf to a popular online community forum.
Shot Herself In The Foot.
Users commented on how much of an idiot Karen is – and not just for her messaging shenanigans. One user said this:
“They now have no IT people. No one to figure out anything. Karen is an absolute fool to think an office can run this way. She probably can’t clear a jam in the printer, much less troubleshoot why the network isn’t seeing one of the office computers. This revenge is going to go on for a while. Awesome!”
The Gift That Keeps On Giving.
Garth’s old company is in for a few hardships. One community member pointed this out: “No one to train up their replacement IT person, which is going to make it drag on even longer. Every company has systems with quirks that you need to know your way around, and it takes a lot of exposure and training to get a person acclimated to a new environment for effective support.”
Party On, Garth!
This man proved that the IT department is not one to be messed with. And users loved him for it:
“Anyone with two connected brain cells knows to never mess with IT. Obviously that Karen doesn’t have 2 connected brain cells… as she and everyone else there will find out sometime over the weekend…”
