Leaving a toxic job can be a huge relief. But sometimes, the parting gift you leave behind can be just as satisfying.
So, what would you do if your narcissistic boss demanded you notify every contact before you leave?
In the following story, an employee finds a clever way to give her boss what she deserves.
Here’s what happened.
Treat your employees like garbage? Enjoy an extra 100+ emails a day.
I’m finally leaving my toxic job for a better opportunity. My narcissistic boss treats everyone under her like garbage and is generally rude, condescending, and miserable to work for.
We work in a field where we are constantly bombarded by salespeople, many of whom are extremely persistent and borderline rude.
I sometimes get over 100 emails a day from such salespeople (not to mention phone calls), but I have specific rules set up in my Outlook so that they mostly go straight to my junk folder.
The boss must not have seen this coming.
My boss is not so good at Outlook or technology in general, so she does not know how to do this.
(She would often scream at me to find emails for her because somehow she could not even figure out how the Search function worked.)
When I resigned, she told me to notify “every representative I am regularly in contact with” that I am leaving and that she is the new point of contact until they find a replacement for me.
I’ve spent the last week providing each and every salesperson with her email and direct dial. Good luck getting rid of those!
Her phone calls and emails are never going to stop!
Let’s see what the folks at Reddit had to say about what she did.
This is probably how a lot of people feel.
Here’s a great way to be!
According to this person, IT could’ve done this very quickly.
Now, this is malicious compliance!
Be careful what you wish for!
That boss definitely got what was coming to her – hope she learns to treat people better.
