| 0:00.0 | Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best posts from across Reddit. |
| 0:03.8 | Today's subreddit is R-Slash Petty Revenge, where OP gets his boss fired in a truly spectacular |
| 0:10.1 | fashion. Our next Reddit post is from Garnet Blanco. Mid-Pandemic, my boss just disappeared. |
| 0:16.4 | Just as we were gearing up for our most challenging time-intensive project in the last five years, |
| 0:22.1 | he just dropped off the face of the Earth. We kept working for a week or so without him because |
| 0:26.8 | everything was virtual and the virtual work world was still so new so we didn't really need him. |
| 0:31.8 | We were delegating tasks ourselves and completing things on our own. We spoke to co-workers maybe |
| 0:36.8 | twice a week. But some decisions were beyond our discretion so we couldn't move forward in those |
| 0:42.0 | aspects of the project until we received a response from him. After about 10 days of silence, |
| 0:46.9 | we called his boss's boss who informed our team that our boss had COVID so he wasn't able to work |

| 1:16.3 | We're sending flowers and care packages to his apartment. Meanwhile, the project has |
| 1:21.2 | descended into chaos because no leader was appointed and our boss is dead. So we're forced to |
| 1:26.5 | navigate several layers of bureaucracy to accomplish anything. Whereas in the past, our boss would |
| 1:32.1 | just sign off on things in real time. Around week four or five, one of our co-workers suggested our |
| 1:37.7 | boss doesn't really have COVID but instead is using it as an excuse to take time off. We jump |
| 1:44.1 | all over our co-worker asking how could he insinuate something like that and laymancing about what a |
| 1:50.0 | tragedy our boss is probably living through. People were chilly to that co-worker for days after that. |
