Redditor’s Co-Worker Helped Create A System Where Their Manager Gets Auto-Insulted Multiple Times A Day Without Them Knowing

Having bosses is really a hit or miss, isn’t it? It’s not rare to have one, but they aren’t that easy to come across either.

There are bosses who take advantage of their power over those who work as interns or in lower positions. They take pride in getting them annoyed. 

It makes a regular workday harder. It’s bad enough that you have to scrape by through all those hours, but they also make it extra aggravating. 

It’s not uncommon for those who are bullied to find joy in the small inconveniences that could annoy those kinds of bosses. It’s not as easy to retaliate, though; it’s your job on the line. 

So, in one of the stories posted under the subreddit r/pettyrevenge, an OP recounted how he and his co-worker found a way to be both productive, make their boss happy, and insult him without his knowledge. It was as impressive as it sounds, and it all started when he was a student in the mid-’80s and got a job at a major electronics company.

His problem was with his manager. Although he eventually got his revenge on him, he had someone to thank for that.

OP shared his story under this post

OP explained how he ended up in the company

Then his problem started when the noise from the printer room became a daily bother

OP's boss wouldn't hear his plea despite his explanation; then he introduced Bob

Magnus_40

His credentials and how cool he is

Magnus_40

He has his own way of working

Magnus_40

He was a good mentor and wasn't selfish about what he knew

Bob lent a helping hand to OP, but the manager dismissed it

Magnus_40

So, he came up with another, smarter solution

The manager approved the second solution and authorized Bob to implement it

The manager took all the credit for Bob's invention, and he didn't even protest

Magnus_40

The manager didn't know that he was insulted multiple times a day

In the end, it brought a smile to those who were in on the secret, especially OP

It’s sad that OP’s friend Bob is gone from the world, but there is hope that there are many more people like him in the world

The story of OP has amused Redditors, and they would love to hear more encounters with him

Bob was a lot of things: a co-worker, a friend, a mentor, and someone who made the tyranny of their boss a little more tolerable

In a part of the thread, Redditors who were seemingly the same age as OP reminisced with stories

Mostly those who have worked in the same field as OP

But they did agree on a rule: if you don’t want to get screwed over like the boss,

ZugTheCaveman

Be aware of the shadow IT; make sure to be nice to them; you don’t know the kind of capability they have

viperfan7

And remember to be nice to those who deliver something to you, especially food

GuestStarr

It doesn’t take a lot to be a kind boss. Unless you’re a natural grinch, it might give you more pride to be remembered by your co-workers as a mentor.

Or to be remembered like Bob, who, up to this day, inspires people despite his hardships. OP was also appreciated for sharing his story for people to witness.
