Bad Boss Revenge Stories

Enjoyed reading some of the funny interview stories. Along the same lines, would love to hear ways analysts / associates sought revenge on that one jackass MD or SVP we all have come in contact with. The one who takes all the credit for your work, reams you out when you make a mistake, throws you under the bus in meetings, BB's you at 3 and 4am expecting you to respond ASAP and creates more pointless work than anyone else in the group. The disgusting MD who is married and has kids at home but continues to hit on all the female 1st years...

Would love to hear stories about bringing those guys down!

 

Back in high school I had a boss I didn't like (he cheated on his wife and always yelled at even physically abused some of the co-workers including me for things like the customer being angry that our patties only came in well done) and while I did the work he asked I would always try to leave right after my shift was over instead of staying late to clean up

Are you missing the point of the OP's post, or was this just your sorry way of "seeking revenge"?

 

I know this is outside of the industry, but a funny story nonetheless... During college I worked behind a bar with a guy who was a bit older than me and who had previously worked at a call center for a large television provider (won't name names). His job was to deal with all of the disgruntled customers who would call in complaining about their service and threatening to switch providers. Not only did he get yelled at by the company's customers all day long, but he said his boss was a complete power trippin douchebag who turned an already shitty job into a living hell. After chewing him out for something trivial one day, my friend had finally had enough and told his boss he quit and to go f*** himself. On his way out, and knowing how the entire call system worked, he flipped some breaker or something which disconnected EVERY single caller who was either on the line with a representative or on hold (literally thousands of callers). Apparently it was a huge deal and really backed up the system for a while (I think the company even tried to press charges or something, but nothing ever came of it). Either way, my friend told me the look on his boss's face as he walked out was PRICELESS!

The best way is to not do anything obvious, and passive aggressively. Move things around on his desk when he isnt there that wouldn't usually be moved, plaques, momentos random papers. only enough to make him think about it and wonder if he is going crazy or not or to the opposite side of the computer monitor or something.

Also you can also put random things in his desk that he will find and wonder how they got there.

Nothing egregious, for example we put taco bell packets in a paper clip jar of someone, so they find it months later when they get to the bottom of the jar. A bottle of mustard behind some books that they did not find for over a year. Just random crap, to mess with their heads and confuse them. And it's not like he can say anything to you because he will think people will think he is out of his mind if he asks where these ketchup packets keep appearing. It doesn't immediately get back at them and you may not know their reaction, but its mildly entertaining!

 

I would take all ink out of his pens, stick your booger under his desk, and then set his house on fire.

This. Or kidnap his wife and hold her ransom.

OP, are you talking about jokingly messing around, where he knows it's a joke and it's cool, or are you going to do something stupid and get your ass fired? I worked in a group when I was first out of school where we played practical jokes on each other all the time at every level of employee but it was well known and accepted. I'd figure out if it's this type of environment because if you're doing this purely doing this to get back at him, it could royally backfire in your face.

 

thanks guys for the input, i'm opting for passive-agressive stuff 1st thing : subscribe him in various pornsite (weirdest zoophilia hah), get his email shut down my pornspam 2nd thing: i'm gonna tell you next week
