Hey r/badbosses,

I've been unemployed for 4 months. It'll be 5 by the end of this month.

My last manager turned out to be a backstabbing piece of shit.

She started a paper trail to get rid of me with petty offenses like forgetting to send her 1 internal team project update email. There were 8 total that I had to send out that month, and I only forgot the one and I didn't forget again. Regardless, that ended up on my PIP.

The emails weren't important either, since we had a daily check-in meeting where I'd go over everything, which is something we did since the day I started.

She was such a cunt that she made it a 2 week PIP where she was out for one of them.

To spite her, I submitted my resignation on the Friday before her week absence, and I didn't send a call or text about me quitting. That way, I wasn't covering for her while she was out and she wouldn't find out about it until it was too late.

Unfortunately, she did find out on that Monday, and she tried to call me for some reason. Her voicemail said that she was "Sad to see me go" and she asked if I returned my equipment.

I didn't, and I kept dragging that fiasco out for a month so that people would keep bothering her about it until I eventually returned it to HQ.

I wish there was more damage I could do to these rotten disgusting shit bags, but I'm happy that I could cause some headache.

Anyway, enough about me. Did you spite any douchebag managers? How did you do it?

I've been unemployed for 4 months now and applied to more than 360 jobs according to my tracker.

I resigned in December because I was put on a PIP. It was one of those PIPs that have a 2 week timeline with a laundry list of stuff for someone to do that can't be done in that time frame.

A lot of it was stuff that I had already finished, and my manager forgot about it even though I had documented it.

She had a 1-on-1 with me where she went over the list, and I got angry with her enough to point it out. I could've kept my job if I had just kept my mouth shut, but oh well. I probably would've left anyway since I can't respect her anymore.

I know that I'm not useless like how they tried to make me feel. I even got a phone call from someone who was using an app that I made for support, and I had to tell them that I wasn't working there anymore. That SHOWS that people were using and benefiting from the work that I did.

I fucking hate that I paid all this money for a degree just for shit like this to happen.

I spent so much of my inheritance money on it. I could've just dropped out, joined a trade, and invested it.

Now I'm stuck in the private sector with a bunch of corporate sociopaths that want to fire you for breathing too hard.

I'm 28 M, single, never see my friends anymore, and now this shit.
