Manager Tries To Fire Employee After Company Loses Millions Of Dollars, But It Instantly Backfires On Him
He had all the receipts ready to go.
Listening to your employees is essential for running a successful business; they know more about the specifics of the operations the company is managing, which gives them a unique perspective. Key employees must be aware of any important decisions so they can warn their bosses about potential dangers and risks.
Prioritizing one thing over another always leads to failure. One thing might seem more important than the other, but in the long term, you end up regretting the fact that you abandoned something completely just to succeed in another. Priorities in business settings are even more crucial and can either make the company thrive or drive it completely into the ground.
A Reddit user who goes by the username r/InfinitiumVortex submitted a story a while ago to the r/ProRevenge community, where he explained how his boss refused to listen to his warnings, and he later ended up being right the whole time. What follows is the reason why this story was submitted to a "Pro Revenge" subReddit.
InfinitiumVortex prepared for the day his boss was going to confront him, and his efforts did not go unrewarded. Scroll down to check out the original Reddit post and scroll further to read screenshots of comments from the original post.
Here's the original Reddit post by u/infinitiumvortex:
RedditOP gave a little flashback to get into some things in detail.
RedditOP was struggling with the work volume since so many employees had been laid off.
Reddit
Customers loved OP, but the director hated him.
Reddit
The sales director refused to listen to reason.
Reddit
OP was smart enough to keep receipts that would prove to be very helpful later on.
Reddit
He listened to what the sales director said and followed his instructions.
Reddit
Then the company landed the biggest contract in its history.
Reddit
Everyone had to find a scapegoat to take the blame.
Reddit
OP was almost going to get fired, but he came prepared.
Reddit
The sales director had to pay nearly $300K and was fired from his job.
Reddit
The sales director found himself in a world of trouble.
Reddit
TL;DR, in case you don't feel like reading the whole thing.
Reddit
OP then provided a couple of updates to explain some things further.
Reddit
OP likes helping government customers so they don't have to overpay.
Reddit
OP didn't want to provide any more details because of legal issues.
Reddit
OP then added a second update later on:
Reddit
OP had no idea that everyone was listening.
Reddit
Thankfully, no one complained after that.
Reddit
Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/infinitiumvortex's story:
Reddit
The culture they encourage is toxic.
Reddit
OP replied to r/Arrasor's comment and clarified things further:
Reddit
Nothing but vague promises that don't even exist.
Reddit
People are pushed to make more sales, not incentivized.
Reddit
Revenge while staying professional is the best kind.
Reddit
There's nothing like a good revenge story.
Reddit
It's so good, it's worth reading twice!
Reddit
He should invest his talents elsewhere.
Reddit
When you're younger, they won't listen to you.
Reddit
They take advantage of people during difficult times.
Reddit
A true American hero!
Reddit
The sales director definitely got what he deserved; he seems like a terrible person according to OP's story, and what happened to him is simply karma. If OP hadn't made sure to confirm with the sales manager, this story would have had a completely different ending, but we are glad it is not the case.
The moral of this story is that you should always keep receipts because they might one day come in handy. When you have concrete proof, no one can argue with you unless they are completely delusional.
