Losing a job that you love is always awful, but usually there isn’t much that you can do about it.

What would you do if a jealous coworker got you fired from a great job, but shortly after, you learned that she had some legal issues out of state?

That is what happened to the guy in this story, so he reported the legal issues to the owner of the company, and got her fired in return. To make it even better, he got her job.

This is a great story that played out perfectly. Read through the full details and see for yourself.

Senior manager gets me fired. I turn things around and get her job and salary, plus see her break down and then let her know exactly how I got my revenge.

I was hired by a company as an assistant manager, a job I was well qualified for.

Working a job where you very rarely see your boss can be great.

The owner is rarely on-site as he owns several businesses.

The company is run by a GM, who hired me, but who works mostly second shift and who I therefore would have little daily contact with since I was hired for first shift.

His training seems to have gone well.

I was assigned to Eva for training. Eva was a manager and had been with the company five years.

I trained with her for a few days and then I was on my own, though she and I had overlapping shifts and would see each other a few days a week.

She is clearly jealous.

We were friendly but not close. After a few months I was doing well at my job, and had even gotten some new procedures adopted to help boost sales.

Eva began to act resentful. She would correct me for small things and took any opportunity to remind me that she had trained me.

It is always dangerous to have an enemy at work.

It didn’t matter to me – she wasn’t my boss, I reported to the GM. So, I mostly just ignored her.

What I didn’t know, was that Eva was not just tight with the GM, but they had worked together at another place for 10 years before this one.

Wow, she got him fired.

One day at shift end, GM asks to talk. Tells me it’s not working out, says I’m still making mistakes at six months that I shouldn’t be.

I ask for examples. A few of them were petty matters Eva had mentioned, but most of them were just not true. I tried to argue but it was clear that I was set up.

Now he knows for sure who got him fired.

I decided to reach out to the owner since I had nothing to lose. He was sympathetic but said he relies on GM to run the business and had to support her decision.

Then he mentioned that if things hadn’t been so bad between me and Eva, it probably could have been worked out.

He is going to get her back.

That’s when I knew she was behind me being fired from a job I needed, really liked and was making great money…and I vowed to get revenge.

I started searching her online info. In less than an hour I had uncovered gold thanks to one of those pay services.

This is all he really needs.

About three months prior, Eva was arrested and charged with DWI in a neighboring state.

The court records showed she had a hearing coming up in a few weeks. That was enough to get her fired. It affects a professional license she and I had to have as management.

Sometimes revenge is nice and easy.

Per state law, license holders must report criminal charges to the licensing board, and in the case of a DWI arrest, licenses are typically suspended pending trial.

I called the owner and told him what I discovered. It was news to him. I guess since it was out of state, Eva was keeping it secret. Maybe she was hoping to get let off the charges.

His job search didn’t take long at all.

The next day, the owner called and said Eva was fired. He thanked me for telling him about her DWI, apologized for how I was fired, and offered me Eva’s position and salary.

He asked me to come in the next morning to meet with him, and to cover Eva’s shift. I accepted.

But wait, there’s more.

That alone was sweetly satisfying revenge, but what happened next was the icing on the cake.

I got to work extra early, met with owner and GM and we all agreed to start fresh. Cool. It was still an hour before opening and I was in the back of the place when I heard the front door chime.

She must have been humiliated.

When I came out a few minutes later, Eva was there, tears flowing, begging the owner for her job back.

She obviously didn’t know I was there, because when she saw me her whole body seized and her shocked expression was priceless.

Now she knows that it was him who got her fired.

I walked right by her, staring her down with a grin, and went outside.

Eva came out a minute later and wouldn’t make eye contact. As she walked away I said, “good luck on the 23rd.” That was her court date.

Things couldn’t have played out more perfectly. You would almost feel bad for her if she didn’t deserve exactly what she got.

Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say about this story.

This commenter points out the lack of employment protections.

I agree with this commenter.

She really should have just tried to fly under the radar.

He is still working for the guy who fired him.

This commenter makes a good point, though.

This company still seems a little flaky, but at least he has his job for now. His general manager, however, should not be trusted.

It is possible that he will just find another reason to fire him out of loyalty to his friend, though.
