| 0:00.0 | My idiotic entitled boss demands that I train my replacement, which just so happens to be his nephew, as he plans on firing me in six months. |
| 0:08.2 | So I decide to get some revenge by literally not training this guy at all, resulting in this nephew nearly burning down the hotel that I help manage. |
| 0:15.7 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:16.6 | Okay, so my first job out of high school was doing the landscaping for a posh hotel near my hometown. |
| 0:21.9 | I love the job and the work was often demanding, but rewarding nonetheless. |
| 0:25.7 | After working there for a few years, the hotel was sold to a businessman as the owner wanted |
| 0:29.6 | to retire to Florida. The new owner had a gambling addiction and a drinking problem. |
| 0:34.2 | He constantly drained funds from his businesses to support his vices, which really |
| 0:37.9 | showed in how quickly the hotel went from posh to the literal definition of a roach motel. I continued |

| 1:07.8 | like raking leaves or watering flowers, I would often find him playing |
| 1:11.1 | his game boy somewhere, or sitting in the lounge drinking with his uncle. I constantly complained |
| 1:15.6 | about him to the owner, and I told him that I had enough seniority in my position to search for |
| 1:19.8 | and train a more suitable person to do the job. That's when the owner dropped the bombshell. |
| 1:24.2 | His nephew was going to replace me in six months. He was only paying his nephew |
| 1:28.1 | minimum wage, whereas I was getting nearly three times as much because of my seniority, |
| 1:32.7 | and how much the original owner loved me. At this point, I realized that I was too expensive |
