If you have a toxic boss who thinks they can treat people however they want, you’d probably dream about ways to get revenge on that boss.

This man shares how awful his boss was and how he got revenge by messing with something very important – his salary!

Read the full story below to find out what happened.

I made it impossible to budget a raise or bonus for my boss

I was working for a popular magazine publisher.

And neither my boss nor my boss’s boss were any good at Excel.

Therefore, they made me do the budget spreadsheets for the 25 magazines they were in charge of.

This man messed with his boss’s salary computation.

My boss’s boss was a decent guy, but the guy between the two of us was awful.

So when I automated the whole budget process, I added a line of code that reset the value for his salary back to his current salary even if they had changed the budget to give him a raise.

And he didn’t feel guilty about it.

That way when it went to HR, it always showed his original salary no matter how many times it was changed.

He later got fired for getting into a fist fight with an employee, so I don’t feel guilty.

That’s some pretty sneaky revenge!
