Some managers simply lack the Christmas spirit.

This employee and his coworkers were required by their manager to work on Christmas Eve, just because she could. So he got his revenge by informing the bosses of some valuable information about her position.

Christmas spirit? Scrooged

Just thinking back to that first Christmas after the COVID pandemic, when our manager rostered everyone on a day shift on the 24th, despite there being insufficient work for us due to holiday closures.

We asked if we could access our accrued time and sign off at midday.

Nope. She announced in a very unpleasant way, she’d done this deliberately to “give us the opportunity to catch up on our outstanding mandatory online training.”

Basically, as punishment (BTW, we weren’t been given time to do it during the year.)

So there’s a room full of seething employees watching training videos on Christmas Eve, all the managers already on leave, except this one.

This employee finally got his revenge on the manager.

But wait, I knew she’d been acting in this role for ages.

So, a couple of months later, I asked the executives why the position hadn’t been permanently filled, which was news to them.

They then ran applications to fill it permanently. She applied for her own job but missed it on interview and left the organization, crushed. No tears shed by us.

Beware the wrath of the patient worker.

Now that’s a satisfying ending. Good riddance, Scrooge.

Other people in the comments section are sharing their two cents.

Clever.

This one shares a personal thought.

A user sympathizes.

And this one even wrote a song about a similar experience.

Christmas bullies never win.
