Folks, this story is HILARIOUS.
And I’m not one to make predictions, but I think it’s gonna make you LOL in a big way!
Read on and find out what went down in this story from Reddit’s “Petty Revenge” page.
Sure. I’ll help pack up.
“In 2001 I lost my retail management day job and went back to school at night.
9/11 made it hard to find a job.
After months of applying and a few interviews that interfered with my focus on studying, by late spring 2002, I was offered a new retail buying job that worked with my school schedule.
It was a job…
Temp to permanent but it would pay my mortgage and feed me, the wife and kids for the rest of the four-year program. Or so I thought.
On my second day they called us into the break room to announce a move in 90 days 2/3 the way across the country where the parent company’s home office was.
We would all be laid off because they couldn’t find good retail help in [City].
Yes, they said that to the retail help they hired.
Well before our scheduled last day I was doing actual work at my cubicle when a big moving company dude said he had to pack up the PC.
Boss came by, pointed to a stack of flattened out moving boxes, packing tape, and sharpies and told me and the other purchasing analysts to help pack.
So I did. I packed up everything.
Okay, if you say so!
I packed up the PC. I packed up several boxes of obsolete cables.
I packed up the paper files, especially the old files on discontinued items.
I packed up the big local phone books.
I packed up all the trash cans from all the cubicles, trash and all.
I packed up the full recycle bins.
I packed up the garbage bags from the lunch rooms.
I packed up the leftover pizza.
I packed up the old food in the fridge.
I packed up an open milk.
I packed up the restroom wastebasket.
I taped up all the boxes as I went.
I grabbed a Sharpie and identified the boxes: HR or [Company name] Manager’s office or Comptroller. I stacked them neatly and watched as the movers wisked them into the hot trailers 3 at a time via hand-truck.
Home office was not expecting the fleet of tractor-trailers to arrive for over a week. I wish I could have seen them unpack.”
