| 0:00.0 | My entitled boss plans on firing me after I'm asked to hire a fourth member of our team who would in this case be my replacement that I would be training. |
| 0:09.1 | So I decided to get some revenge and I hired the worst person for the job who didn't know what they were doing and who was very sloppy when it came to customer service. |
| 0:18.0 | And as a result, my department tanked once I left and my manager ended up getting fired as well and I've never |
| 0:24.4 | been happier to get revenge on somebody in my life. Here's what happened. I first off want to |
| 0:29.2 | say that all names in this story are fake. So this was a small company and our team of three were best |
| 0:35.0 | described as tech support for our clients but it went a bit further than that. |
| 0:38.9 | I usually helped with setting up databases and also advised clients from time to time if they would |

| 1:11.2 | It was a win-win situation for me, Caroline, the company, and the client. |
| 1:15.6 | Well, that is until I got a new boss by the name of Bob. He immediately noticed that I was working |
| 1:20.6 | far fewer tickets than Caroline. |
| 1:22.7 | I tried to explain to him how not every ticket is the same workload, |
| 1:26.4 | but because he wasn't very tech savvy and didn't understand half the stuff I was doing, |
| 1:30.9 | he did not understand what was going on. Also, around one month later, we got a huge |
| 1:36.0 | new client and I spent a week on site setting up all the databases and stuff that they needed. |
| 1:42.0 | This drew down my monthly average ticket numbers even further, |
