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

with playing Pokemon on his Game Boy than working, and even when I set him to a simple task,

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
