‘He’s been telling me all year that I […] wasn’t good enough for my role’: Employee quits for better job after boss threatened him all year – FAIL Blog

Here’s a rare satisfying story about a horrible boss getting what he deserved! Sometimes, you have to be willing to walk away in order to truly make your point known. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/SkullBearer5, who shared that after messing up over a year ago on the job, his boss was still threatening to fire him constantly. 

It got so bad that the Redditor went ahead and applied to a much better company. When he got the position, he first felt guilty about leaving during a busy time for the company (thanks for that feeling, capitalism!). However, those feelings went away when his boss decided to threaten him yet again. This was when the Redditor came clean about the new upcoming position and when his boss immediately tried to backpedal. Too late! You can only threaten your employee for so long before it comes back and bites you on the butt. Keep scrolling below for the full story!
