Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome back to more pro-revenge reddit stories about

terrible bosses. In today's Ripe Stories video, imagine having a

boss so terrible that she literally calls you her slave

on day one and then starts deleting hours from your

paycheck like it's nothing. I started investigating and I uncovered

something so much bigger that even the police could not

believe it. Let's dive right into the video. And the

first one is titled r slash malicious compliance. I worked

ahead of schedule, but I guess I don't work for

you anymore. So this is a story one of my

co-workers told me while we were chatting in the lab.

He is a recent hire after getting laid off from

one of the big three car companies, an unfortunately very

common history. for someone to have in my area. However,

he was cheered up immensely because of how badly they

had screwed themselves by letting him go. So he told

me how the company had him specialize in a very

technical software project And being the only guy who knew

how to use the requisite tools and being the de

facto expert on how the code was structured and how

it worked, no one else felt the need to get

up to speed or brush up on it because he

handled it all. He had so much free time being

put on no other assignments that he ended up working

way ahead of schedule and finishing not only the software,

but the security audits, the reports, and all sorts of

documentation that would have been necessary once the project was finalized.

And then he kept these pre-produced deliverables on his personal

directory so that he could have them ready in a

flash when the company asked for them. And I'm sure

you can already see where this is going. So then,

a car company's favorite pastime is layoffs, and they decided

he was no longer necessary and can't him. In retrospect,

their unwillingness to get him started on any other project

was already a red flag. Knowing exactly what kind of

hot water they would be in without him, he happily

deactivated his employee account and subsequently deleted everything on his

personal drive. The remaining project team member rapidly discovered how

screwed they were when they tried to provide a status

on his software and realized none of them knew anything

about how it worked, how finished it was, or how

to continue working on it. No one had bothered to

have it explained while he was still there, and one

of his buddies on the team called him up a

few days later begging him to help him out. and

just left them have the files he had completed ahead

of time. My co-worker felt conflicted because he had no

real grudge against the employees who were stuck in this situation,

but obviously no one had those files anymore since he

was no longer an employee. So he basically told his

friend that the company had dug its own grave and

he could not help in any way besides giving him

some tips off the top of his head from what

he remembered. And he told me he somewhat regretted helping

them out on his own time, but ultimately just hope

management learned their lesson. And because I've read similar stories

on this subreddit, I told him, that's when you call

back and give them your quote for freelance work or consulting.

And the next one is an amazing pro-revenge story that

you don't want to miss. It is titled r slash

pro-revenge workers sends boss to prison for seven years. So

I used to work at a large independent hardware and

home supply store, and I was the inventory supervisor for

our location. We supplied local contractors and regular customers with

everything from lumber to high-end power tools, and the job

was decent for a long time. The owner of the

company was a good guy who mostly stayed at the

corporate office in another city and just let the local

managers run their stores. We had a great team, and

everyone got along well. Well, that all changed when our

old manager retired and the owner hired Dolores to replace him.

Dolores was the ultimate nightmare boss. By the way, I

love that name. She was entitled and treated every single

person in the store like dirt on her shoe. And

on her very first day, she called a mandatory meeting

in the break room. and told us that things were

going to change. She stood at the front of the

room and glared at all of us. The owner hired

me to fix this lazy store, Dolores told us. From

now on, nobody sits down. If you have time to lean,

you have time to clean. I expect absolute obedience. You

are basically my slaves while you are on the clock.

My coworker raised his hand and asked about our scheduled breaks,

and Dolores snapped, Breaks are a privilege. If I see

you slacking off, I will cancel your break. I'm the boss.

What I say goes. And yep, things went downhill immediately.

Dolores started micromanaging every single task. She would follow people

around the aisles and scream at them if they didn't

stack boxes fast enough. She refused to let cashiers keep

water bottles at their registers. And when a customer asked

a question, she would often ignore them or give them

a nasty attitude. And we lost a lot of regular

contractors because they hated dealing with her. But the worst

part was how she handled our pay. A few weeks

into her tenure, I noticed my paycheck was short. I

knew exactly how many hours I worked because I wrote

them down in a notebook every single day. I was

missing five hours of overtime. I went to the office

and knocked on the door. Dolores was sitting at her

desk playing a game on her phone. What do you want?

She asked without looking up. My paycheck is short, I said.

I'm missing five hours of overtime. Dolores rolled her eyes

and sighed loudly. She put her phone down and glared

at me. The computer system automatically adjusts for unapproved overtime,

she said. I didn't approve your overtime, so you don't

get paid for it. You told me to stay late

on Tuesday to unload the lumber truck, I replied. You

literally ordered me to stay. I told you to finish

your work. If you were faster, you would have finished

doing your regular shift. I'm not paying you extra for

being slow. Now get out of my office and get

back to work. I was furious. I asked around and

found out she was doing this to everyone. She was

logging into the payroll system. and manually deleting hours from

our timesheets to make her labor costs look better to

the owner, she was stealing our wages. Some of my

co-workers were living paycheck to paycheck, and losing those hours

really hurt them. But everyone was too scared to speak

up because Dolores would fire people on the spot for

talking back. She fired one of the older cashiers for

going to the bathroom without asking for permission first. It

was a miserable place to work. I decided I was

not going to let her get away with it, though.

I knew I needed hard proof before I went to

the owner, and as the inventory supervisor, I had access

to a lot of the back-end computer systems. I started

digging into the administrative locks, and I found the payroll

audit trail The system tracked every time someone changed a timesheet.

It clearly showed that Dolores was using her login credentials

to delete hours from almost every employee in the store.

I printed out all the audit logs and put them

in a folder and while I was looking around the

system I noticed something else that was very strange. Our

store budget showed massive payments to a vendor for parking

lot maintenance and landscaping. This made no sense at all

because our parking lot was full of potholes and the

few bushes near the front sign were already dead. Nobody

had done any maintenance out there in a very long time.

I looked closer at the vendor invoices and they were

being approved by Dolores every single week. The payments were

going to a company that I'd never heard of before

and I did a quick search on the internet for

the company name and found nothing. No website, no reviews.

The address on the invoice was a residential house. I

then checked public property records on the local county website

and saw that the house was owned by Dolores. She

was embezzling money. So basically, she created a fake landscaping

company and was approving weekly payments to herself from the

store budget. She was stealing many thousands of dollars a

month directly from the owner. I kept digging because I

just wanted to find everything. I started doing a deep

dive on our high-end power tools as well, because we

kept the most expensive items locked in a cage in

the back warehouse. Only Dolores and I had the keys

to that cage. I did a manual count of our

inventory and compared it to the computer's system. We were

missing over 20 expensive generators and heavy-duty saws, and there

was no record of them being sold. I went to

the office to ask Dolores about the missing inventory, just

to see what she would say. We are missing a

lot of tools from the lockup, I told her. Do

you know if they were shipped to another store? And

Dolores looked incredibly nervous for a second, but then she

got angry. That's none of your business, she yelled. I'm

the manager. I handle the inventory transfers. Don't question me. Well,

I'm the inventory supervisor, I said. It's literally my job

to track this stuff. You track what I tell you

to track, Dolores screamed. If you ever go poking around

in the system again, I will fire you. Get out

of my sight. I walked away knowing she was selling

the stolen tools. I went home that night and searched

various online marketplaces for the specific models of the missing generators,

and I found a seller account located in our city

listing brand new tools for cash. The pictures on the

listing showed the tools sitting in a living room. In

the background of one of the pictures, I saw a

very unique, ugly lamp, and it was the exact same

lamp Dolores had sitting on her desk in the store office.

She brought it from home. She was stealing the tools

and selling them online for pure profit. I spent the

next week gathering every single piece of evidence possible. I

put everything into a binder, along with the payroll logs

showing her stealing our wages. I knew the owner was

scheduled to do a quarterly visit the following week, and

Dolores was running around the store, screaming at everyone, to

clean the floors, organize the shelves and so on. She

wanted the store to look perfect so she could look

like a great manager. The day of the visit arrived

and the owner walked into the store and Dolores immediately

started kissing up to him. She followed him around pointing

out all the work she had done and taking credit

for everything. She told him the staff was lazy before

she got there but she whipped us into shape. The

owner nodded and listened to her and I saw my

chance when Dolores went to the bathroom. That is when

I walked straight up to the owner and asked if

I could speak to him in private and he looked

surprised but he agreed. We walked out to his car

in the parking lot so Dolores wouldn't see us. What's

going on? The owner asked. I handed him the binder

and I said Dolores is destroying this store. She treats

the employees terribly and she is stealing from all of us.

The proof is right there. The owner opened the binder

and I walked him through everything. I showed him the

payroll logs where she deleted our hours and I showed

him the fake landscaping invoices and everything else. Furthermore, I

showed him the missing inventory and the online listings with

her lamp in the background, and the owner turned red

with anger. He flipped through the pages and read every

single document. She's been billing me for this parking lot

every week, the owner said as he looked at the potholes.

I thought the landscaping company was just doing a bad job.

I had no idea she was the company. She's a criminal,

I said. She's stealing our wages and she's stealing your money.

The owner closed the binder and thanked me and he

told me to go back to work and act like

nothing happened. He walked back into the store and found Dolores.

She had a big fake smile on her face. Is

everything okay? Dolores asked him. Everything is great, the owner replied.

I actually need to go over some paperwork with you

in the office. Let's go. They went into the office

and closed the door and I don't know exactly what

was said in that room but a few minutes later,

the door flew open. Dolores came storming out. She was

screaming at the top of her lungs. You can't fire me,

Dolores yelled. I'm the best thing that ever happened to

this company. You're all useless without me. The owner walked

out behind her. He held his phone to his ear.

I'm calling the police, the owner said loudly so the

whole store could hear. You have stolen thousands of dollars

from me and my employees. You're not just fired. You're

going to jail. Dolores froze. The color drained from her face.

She tried to run away towards the front doors, but

two police officers were already walking in. The owner must

have called them while he was in the office with her.

The owner pointed at Dolores and told the officers that

she was the one stealing. The officers stopped her and

told her they needed to ask her some questions. Dolores

started fighting them. She slapped one of the officers and

spit in his face and then tried to run past him.

That was a huge mistake. Because now the officers grabbed

her and put handcuffs on her right in the middle

of the store. And the aftermath was incredible. The owner

brought in an auditing team and they went through all

the computers and found even more stuff Dolores had stolen.

She had been taking cash from the registers and altering

the daily deposit slips. The total amount she stole from

the company was massive. The police searched her house and

they found the rest of the stolen power tools stacked

in her garage. They also found piles of cash and

the owner worked with the authorities to make sure that

she was prosecuted for everything. He also went through the

payroll locks and paid every single employee the wages that

Dolores had stolen from us and he gave us all

a bonus for putting up with her abuse. The prosecutor

used all the evidence I found to build a huge

case against her, and the judge did not buy any

of her excuses, by the way. She was found guilty

of grand theft and embezzlement and wage theft. Because she

attacked the police and had so many different charges against her,

she was sentenced to seven years behind bars. The owner

promoted me to store manager after everything settled down, and

I completely changed the culture of the store. We make

sure everyone takes their breaks and gets paid for every

minute they work. The store is doing better than ever

because the employees are actually happy to be here. The

next one is a fantastic malicious compliance story which is

titled My Area Manager is a Ruthless Malicious Complier. Word

had spread around the office that our new area manager

was an a-hole of the highest order. He had a

reputation throughout the company. of being a hatchet man and

didn't care about anyone but himself, he was notorious for

going into failing groups and turning them around through fear.

He would legit fire employees at the drop of a

hat and would force the remaining employees to work twice

as hard to pick up the slack out of fear

of losing their jobs as well, and thus pushing productivity

up and payroll down. The company loved him, though. He

had only been with the company 10 years before he

was elevated to executive level, something unheard of previously, and

let's just call this guy Scott. The last group, Scott Butchert,

resulted in 80 people being laid off, and due to

union rules, those 80 people were allowed to bump 80

other people out of a job. The 80 less senior

people all worked for a group that was vital to

the backbone of the company. That group had 140 people

in it, 80 of which would need to be trained

for the next four months, and this is a group

where one small mistake could cost the company thousands of

dollars and large mistakes maybe millions. They scoured the company

looking for people who at least had a little knowledge

of their job function and asked them to transfer temporarily

to help fill in until the new people were properly trained.

They offered a $ 30 a day bonus and another $ 24

a day for driving to a new office that was

not my regular report. The promise of some extra money

and tons of overtime convinced me to volunteer. It would

be good to have another job function on my resume.

And the job was cool, learned a lot of stuff

and stayed for five months and was recalled early when

Hurricane Katrina hit. My original group was tasked with rebuilding

after all the damage and it was all hands on

deck and we were recalled. About two months later, here

comes Scott. The need for help at the other group

was still dire, so the call was put out to

task for volunteers to go back. Me, knowing that Scott

was our new area manager, knew that there would be

a catch. And let me tell you... There was. He

found a loophole in the union rules that took away

the money we were getting by changing the system to

reflect that was our new place of reporting, and he

would change it back when we got back. This was

flouting the union rules, but as he said, there's nothing

in the union book specifically saying I cannot do that.

And he was actually right. It said we should be

paid if asked to report to an office that was

not our normal place of business, but it didn't say

that management could not change that place of business on

the fly, Upon learning that I didn't sign up to

go back, it wasn't worth it to me, and I

figured it would be good for any other person to

go and learn some new stuff. As you can imagine,

the union hated Scott. He broke rules and found loopholes

around everything. He was personally responsible for half of the

grievances they had to deal with, but the company had

his back. He was like a supervillain. Even the union

couldn't stop him, and once Scott found out all of

the previous people who went on loan refused to volunteer again,

He took it as a personal insult for some reason.

So he told us all that instead of requiring the

less senior people to go in our place, he would

be forcing us to go. He cannot do that, by

the way. One of the hard, fast union rules that

most unions are formed on is the respect of seniority.

The low man on the pole gets the crap work.

It's how it's always been. And per the rules, if

we refuse to volunteer... then he would be required to

go in reverse seniority to find new candidates. Scott said, nah,

you guys will go or you will be terminated. Now,

you gotta understand, Scott does not F around. If he

says he will fire you, believe that he will fire you.

And sure, you could appeal to the union and all that,

but there's no guarantee it will work. And honestly, who

wants to go through that? We all agreed to go,

but we had a secret weapon. Scott didn't know that

one of the people he was forcing to go back

was high up in the union. She was the steward

for our area. and held some elected official title with

the union. If a steward feels a grievance, it goes

directly to the union president and the president of the

union sent a letter to Scott telling him that he

was in violation of the union contract and if he

didn't recall us immediately, he would be subject to further action.

This went over like a lead balloon. Scott proceeded to

respond with a kind of, F off, they are staying.

And that was, that's so he thought. And if one

of my coworkers was not an official in the union,

It probably would have been. So, the union tried to

grow some balls and go after the supervillain. He did

not have a loophole this time. He was in direct violation.

No way to explain this one. The union contacted his

boss asking him to back down and nothing came of that.

Like I said, he could murder an employee in the

break room and still have a job on Monday morning.

They absolutely loved him. and after three months, the union

played the only card they had left. They organized the

union members in my office and said if we were

not recalled, there would be a strike at our office.

This got Scott's attention. He asked for a sit-down meeting

with the head of the union, and they had a

meeting where Scott proceeded to laugh in their face. He

asked the union how long he had until they called

a strike, and they told him 90 days from signing

an agreement to recall us, and if he fails to

call us back, there will be a strike until we return. Remember,

we were already three months into this? Well, Scott smiles

and signs the agreement. He does not recall us. A

week goes by, two weeks, a month, two months, two months,

three weeks, six days, six and a half hours pass,

and we got a call from our boss to return

to our original desks. The assignment was to be on

loan for six months, and Scott recalled us an hour

and a half short of six months. He complied. This a-hole.

And the next one is a fantastic malicious compliance story,

which is titled, I'm redundant, but you need me? Well,

enjoy the wait for my work. So for context, I

have worked for my company for seven years and I

love it. It's a great place, except for my boss.

She is a liability and has been the cause of

several almost employment tribunals, all been paid off to settle.

But as she's been shagging, the owner, she gets away

with it. Anyway, we all know what's happening in the world,

which is why I've been made redundant. and I'm okay

with this. It is expected. I was furloughed, and since

coming back part-time, I knew it was likely to happen.

But I mentioned, my boss is a total POS. Well,

she told me that she would not be able to

pay my notice out because she needs all my help

while she was at it. Well, that to me was

a kick in the teeth. Why am I redundant, but

you need me? Either way, I'm only working two days

a week at this time, but as it is my

notice period, I'm paid for the full week. It's agreed

that I work Tuesday and Friday. Fine, I allow all

my emails to build up from her. with her requests

for things she does not know where things are she

needs this information immediately but nope i'm working from home

and i don't have a company issued mobile phone so

she cannot force a call here is where my malicious

compliance really comes in so i get the work done

as soon as she sends it over but I don't

send it back until the last 10 minutes of my workday,

and she is then slammed by emails from me and

has to go through them to find out what she needs.

And just to make it more fun, sometimes I send

her random crap that she may need once I'm no

longer there, which is usually just junk mail, vaguely relevant

to our industry, that I would have normally deleted. It's

only been two weeks, but her ex-aspiration is rising. and

she has another five weeks before my notice is up.

I'm doing my job, so she cannot say anything about it.

I'm just being very conscious of doing a good job,

and only sending things when I am sure they are ready.

And yeah guys, thank you so much for watching. Please

don't forget to like the video, and I will see

you again tomorrow.
