Building Company Owner Tries To Bully One Of His Contractors But Ends Up Pleading Him To Come Back
Unknown to the bully boss, his contractor was one of the 20 people in the whole of the UK who could perform one specific type of work.
People in the construction industry have it rough, and the contractors are no exception. They have to coordinate with designers, architects, and craftsmen to achieve the only acceptable result: a perfect building.
On top of all that hard work, they sometimes have to deal with hot-headed bosses and people in suits who know nothing about construction. Still, they are the building company owners, and they think they are almighty.
One such “as told” thread on Reddit gained a lot of attention; it had several updates and even a separate thread. It’s a story of a contractor who didn’t want to put up with his employer’s bullying, so he left.
To be more precise, he was fired… which turned out to be a huge mistake because he was one of just 20 or so people in the UK who are licensed to perform special construction work on listed buildings.
This should be a textbook example of how not to conduct business and how not to be a human being.
Our OP was committed enough to keep informing the readers even after a night out.
This provided us all with one more interesting thread. Unfortunately, the OP had a car accident, and his wife posted information about his condition.
The OP’s name slipped into the updates, and now we know several things about him: his name is Mark, he is a funny guy, and he loves to tell stories. Most importantly, he is a kind and humble man, so he asked people to donate to charity instead of contributing to his medical expenses.
People love this story:
