Boss Tries To Play Employee, Employee Starts Business With His Clients


The boss in this scenario was ungrateful, and ultimately blinded by greed to such an extent that he never saw his own downfall coming. Seriously. The boss never expected any sort of blowback from screwing over an employee who had by the sounds of it, given the job her everything. Or maybe, they did, and just turned that willing blind eye to the BS that they'd brought on someone else. That's possible. Either way, boss got what was coming to them in the end. It sounds like his old employee is well on her way to running a promising business with most of his clients.

Text - r/ProRevenge + JOIN u/CallMeSwellington • 14h 1 The "Girl Friday" with the PhD takes over the business from ungrateful owner. This is a long tale. It is also a text book case of why you don't abuse loyal associates. My spouse was the second person hired at a consulting company in a very specialized industry. In her 15 years with the firm it grew to a respectable three office (8-10 employees at each location) entity. She and the owner grew the business on the contacts, expertise and presen

Text - basically 75% absent and mostly unaware of day to day activity. As he got more and more removed from the business, he would make overtures that he would eventually retire and sell her the business. He was so dependent on her income generating that he took out a life insurance policy on her. I did not involve myself too much, but at a major industry dinner party I attended with her, he introduced my wife to the table as "My girl Friday" basically a secretary (which was weird). Over the yea

Text - you?" One day out of the blue, my wife received a raise and bonus (a very minor amount of money) and a contract that included a non-compete, non-disclosure agreement. After reading it, she realized that the owner was trying to lock her down from leaving for another firm (she had been getting feelers from other companies) to make things even more suspicious, she received a call from a competitor who said they were in final stages of due diligence and they wanted to meet her. The asshole wa

Text - My wife is extremely loyal, she has missed so many special days working for this guy, stuck around when they were wobbly, even skipped paychecks when there were tough financial times. She was furious, the absolute maddest l've ever seen her. We discussed starting her own firm and I asked "how much business is contactually obligated to stay there if you leave?" it turned out that most agreements were either handshakes or 30 day at-will. I also asked how many would leave with you? She said

Text - owner. In a very short time, my wife took a 3 week vacation(she had months of unused time). During which time she rented an office (in the same building!) and made all the arrangement to set up a new shop. She agreed to leave any and all company property behind and do her best to give the old company no obvious ammo for litigation. She called her clients and said "I'm leaving, if you want to look into relocating your account with my new company, you'll need to quit the old one before we c

Text - While she was on vacation, she received a panicked call from her boss "We lost XYZ company, do you know anything about it?" she said "I'm sorry, but I just sent you an email, l've resigned. All my keys and company stuff is on my desk. Buh Bye" The new firm took basically 90% the business and seamlessly transitioned into the same company as it was before, but with a new owner. Even most of the office staff would come aboard. Within a year her old company closed down except for the small of
