Unfortunately, in every job, people slip through the cracks. But, where do you draw the line?

If you had a creepy boss you wanted to avoid, would you report them or find a way to avoid them?

Read how one Redditor’s new boss is so horrible that the employee decides to take a demotion.

See the story below to find out more.

Demoted myself and left him stranded

I worked at a company a few years back and had an amazing manager. He was efficient, supportive to everyone, and all-around decent.

But due to him being so good, the company wanted to move him to a store to help pick that place back up.

Just before he was due to leave and a new manager started i had to have a week off due to surgery and so missed the introductions, and he seemed to have an issue with this.

So, the OP finally got to meet the new boss, but they weren’t exactly as good…

I came in on my day off to hand in my sick note and meet the guy, and he was cold, and extremely lazy.

We were customer-facing, and sometimes needed manager approval, but he would just sit there staring at the security cameras at his desk and ignore the manager bell.

He would find the longest jobs and make them longer, a 30-minute stock check took him one whole eight-hour shift, for example.

Now, here’s the kicker…

Turns out, he was also a massive perv, too.

I could write a long list, but I’ll give highlights. He would walk past [me], deep breathing in my ears, would talk down about women — my favourite quote from him was when asked to do a job I shouldn’t be doing he said, “why get a dog, and bark your self.”

That’s when I lost it.

The OP had a plan to get away from him.

What he didn’t realise is I had recently been promoted a week before his arrival, and it granted very little pay raise and also has a six-month probation automatically applied.

So, I went home wrote out a demotion resignation letter explaining how I was stepping down from my current role and going back to my previous role of four years, effective immediately.

I was the key holder for that night alone with one other staff.

It was the perfect revenge.

As it was effective immediately, a senior member had to suddenly stay and do all my duties!

Guess who? Him.

He also had to rearrange the next two weeks rota and work triple the hours to fill my role.

I also spoke to the regional manager that week and asked to be moved to another store. And if he refused, I would go to the police for harassment, and I had a long list, and we had cameras.

I was moved a week later!

Did this employee act correctly? Should this boss have been fired? Let’s read what Reddit thinks with some of the comments below.

People supported the OP wholeheartedly.

One person hoped this boss was fired.

Others totally related to the frustrated employee’s feelings.

And finally, one Redditor urged the worker to consider calling the police.

This boss is horrendous. Thankfully, this worker got away.
