Getting Revenge At Work

[Chazz 0]

I'm talking mostly about getting the people back who are habitually late or call off at the last minute leaving you stuck. I work In a 24 hr Group Home for Delinquent Youth, so much like at a hospital or factory, I'm pretty much screwed If one of the above happens. I have 2 questions for anybody this has ever happened to:

 

 

 

 

 

1.) What did you do about it?

 

 

 

2.) Did it ever stop?

 

 

 

Thanks!

Problem is that in the places I've worked, it was OK for other people to screw off, but if you did anything like this a shitstorm would ensue.

 

Best revenge: Get another job...

My boss used to always walk off the job, leaving me in charge.

 

Nice.. if I got paid for being his assistant.

 

So since I didn't, I said 'fuck it, we're going home lads'

 

seven hours early.

 

Got us both fired.

 

But I sure showed him.

No, but the time I quit after ten minutes because I wouldn't shave, I actually did say "You can take this job and restaff it."

Delinquent Youth? The revenge is right there. Give them the addresses of the guilty workers in question. Watch the hilarity ensue.

I used to take important equipment home (that i could fit in my pocket) and then "find it" the next day when I came in for my next shift.

 

I have that fast food lifestyle, but taking parts from the mixers and leaving them to have to mix shit by hand was always pleasant.

 

 

I also helped get a kid fired (when I was a manager) by having another employee call and say that the kid in question mooned her (playing the part of a customer) and her 'family' as she pumped gas (the fast food place had a gas station connected to it). The moon in question did actually take place, but nobody was around, and the kid was such a liar and thief it was the last straw.

 

He was homeless at the time, so he might be in jail now. Good times, good times.

The one thing I did do that has seemed to work somewhat was putting out the word that If anyone pulled this calling off shit at the last minute on me, then I would do the same thing to them while they were waiting for me. The same one's who abuse their sick time still do, but not when they know It's me that they'd be leaving stranded.

If you're quitting, send your resignation via email and hyperlink a random word (or a reply string) that sends them to goatse.cx or something like that. ;P

Oh, who has jobs where the boss has an email? We work in shoe stores and shit.

Ummm...I do.

 

We get simple revenge on our boss, since she's a neatfreak and does nothing but come up with different ways that you don't do the job right when everybody does the job just as good, if not better, than she does. Of course, there's usually only 4 people in the offices, sometimes just 2 (when me and my buddy Crawford, the two delivery guys, are out), so hey.

Anyway, she's a neatfreak. She doesn't come into the office on Mondays. She has a whole system to how she arranges things (notes, pens, catalogs, even the calendar and the clock), so we try to mess it up a little bit. She's always straightening shit out, and it's only a minor revenge, but fun nonetheless.

 

Though one time when I was working at a pizza joint, I got revenge on a prank calling customer. Wicked busy night last year during the ALCS (seeing as how I live in Red Sox Country, I didn't have a minute of quiet time), so I'm busy making two pizzas and a calzone all at the same time while also answering the phone.

 

Me: "Franklin Pizza and Deli, pick up or delivery?"

Caller: "Have you ever served in infantry?"

Me: "Uhhh...pardon?"

Caller: "I served in 'Nam. Lost my left testicle there, and...hahahahahahaha..."

Me: "...actually, I just got back from Iraq."

Caller: "**click**"

 

So yeah, fun.

 

As for your situation, chazz...just piss in their locker or something, or strike a deal with one of the kids to intentionally fuck with 'em.

My brother was a cook at an Italian place, and he knew he was on thin ice. He told me that one day as I dropped him off at work, and he said "I'm sorry, did you just call me a liar? I really hope I can say that, I'm bound to have the chance soon"

 

He forgot to...when I reminded him, he let out of a hell of a moan.

In my early teens, I was mowing graveyards. I hated my boss with a passion, so I ran over his lunch while he was taking a nap. The mower shot ham sandwich everywhere.

 

At my current dock taskmaster job, I am the boss, so I'll just fire some lowlife if they're always late and don't do their job. Superiority is revenge in itself.

 

My nickname at work is "The Colonel."

I take It you'd fire someone's ass if they were constantly abusing their sick time as well?

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

No, he's too metal to just do that. He'd probably rape their wife, slay their children, and THEN fire them.

I know this has to do with work, but I remember a sweet prank call revenge.

 

The stupid kid didn't block his number EVERYTIME he called my house. So, one day, I ordered 20 large cheese pizza pies to his house! I found the number and address in my local Yellow Pages. They said give them an hour or so. My friend wanted to see this happen, so we both drove to the location, and pretended we were waiting for someone. I saw the pizza guy get there, and FLIP when it was all a prank. The police came and everything....then we drove away happy...

Depends. If it's doctor excused and they've got leave of absence time they can take, I technically can't. Chronic bad attendance though, you bet. Why waste everyone's time and money? I get legitimately ill enough to miss work maybe once every few years, and maybe once a year I'll just feel shitty enough to the point where I just don't want to fuckin' go in because it's going to make my sinus headache get worse or whateverthefuck.

 

I don't understand those people who are constantly sick. Christ, take better care of yourself. And that's coming from a guy who unabashedly destroys his own body. I'm also almost obsessive when it comes to germs and filthy public surfaces, plus I'm a compulsive hand-washer.

 

Still though, I smoke more than a sensible person, and even I don't get airborne shit that often.

 

If you're in any position to reprimand this person, don't be a dumbshit and ask advice here. Fire them or write them up or whatever.

 

If not, smile and bide your time, because bitching to a superior works 1 out of 38 times on a completely case-by-case basis, unless you bitch about the same thing 38 times. Then you get fired.

 

Unless this is something career-oriented, do what I did with bullshit jobs. Don't give a fuck.

I got revenge on everyone at work who didn't like me by changing their mind.

When I worked at McDonald's, a guy left me to unload the entire truck by myself, so I egged his Blazer.

I used to love doing stock/inventory. Kept me away from the customers...

I am a supervisor for call monitoring for a local bank...I had an employee that always seemed to be around the water cooler or the coffee maker and I always had to look for her to make sure she was doing her job. She would blow it off when I approached her about the issue so I decided to get creative.

 

One night after she left, I took about 40 Dixie cups, taped them together and put them on her desk. Then, I filled them with cold coffee and water with a note..."Just thinking of you and this way you save time going to the break room all the time."

 

Never had a problem with her after that.

My revenge was not being around anymore to do the work no one else did

That's basically exactly what I do. if someone pisses me off, I'm mysteriously busy every single time they need me to do something from then on.

I wish. I'm just a lowly Midnight Youth Care Worker (I.E. babysitter), so I really don't have any power. If I did, half of the people working there would be unemployed. This job Isn't career oriented, so your advice on not giving a fuck sounds pretty good to me. Actually, I've been doing that for several months, but I digress.

The factory I work(ed) for moved to Missouri as of yesterday. Right after the announcement of this was announced a couple months ago the owner's son bought a new Hummer and kept it parked in front of the plant til the last day. Real classy motherfuckers.

 

The last week was spent packaging bags of ice melter salt....and at least 30 pallets (thousands of bags) will be angrilly returned due to not being sealed, hole torn in them, items such as hammers and paintbrushes shipped with the salt, etc. The cost should be in the thousands for the returns and I find that a pleasant thought.

I had to send an entire semi full of Progressso soup back to the mfg because every third case was broken open and rife with dead maggots. That trucker was pissed.

When I'm feeling particulary tired, and everyone else is slack, I just use the George Costanza method of looking annoyed and shaking my head to pretend I'm doing something.
