When someone has it in for you, there is usually not a lot they can do to you outside of terrible crimes.

But it’s different when they control your paycheck. See how this person turned the tables on her superior.

Deny Me a Raise Because You Want to Steal My Husband? Enjoy Unemployment!

I worked for a small tech company in the midwest.

I started out as a customer service rep.

My husband also worked there in a higher level position in a different department.

There was an office manager there who did not like me at ALL when I got hired.

Her bias was blatant.

She originally was a billing rep and got moved to the office manager position when the original one who hired me quit.

Her brother also worked there in the same department as my husband.

I was pretty much a model employee.

My stats were great, I was always on time, and customer feedback surveys were always glowing when I was on shift.

However, it seemed like she had it out for me, because she was always trying to find something to nitpick about my performance.

I divulged all this to my husband and he admitted that prior to us getting together and before I was hired, she had expressed interest in dating him but he rejected her.

I complained to the owner, but he pretty much just shrugged it off because she had been there forever and he didn’t want to rock the boat.

At performance review time, she gave me a terrible review and a tiny raise, along the lines of everyone else on the team getting 50 cents to a dollar per hour raise and she gave me a nickel.

Then something happened that changed everything.

About 6 months later, there was a big shake up in the company and the general manager and two higher level people from my husband’s department left to work at another company who did the same type of business.

Shortly after, a couple of big accounts my boss was pursuing ended up going to the other company.

Thinking that perhaps information about the accounts he was trying to land was leaked to the other company, he sent a couple people home (with pay) for two days while he investigated, including the office manager who hated me.

On day two, he met with the team and confirmed that there was no leak, so he would be bringing the workers back in.

I had found the office manager’s blog some time ago and she had been posting frequent updates since the shakeup.

When she was sent home, she posted multiple updates about the situation, including how she figured the owner would screw up payroll, not pay taxes, and get in trouble with the IRS.

But her anger was about to get the better of her.

She also posted some pretty derogatory things about the owner.

She did make a feeble attempt to keep it anonymous by spelling everyone’s names backwards and making up a fake name for the company, but it was very clear it was her and our company she was talking about.

After the team meeting, I asked to meet with my boss alone and showed him all the posts.

He dug in and found even more damning stuff she had written, including how she couldn’t stand me and wanted to get me fired (I hadn’t even seen that post until then!).

I couldn’t contain my grin when she returned to the office, only to be told to pack up her stuff and go.

Within a year I had a big pay bump and a promotion to management and I assume she is off somewhere making people miserable.

Here is what folks are saying.

I have mixed feelings about this.

Wow. Dark!

All bullies are.

Yep. So many people understand the internet or computers.

It’s very true. Just be nice to everyone!

Some people are so miserable.

Deep down inside.
