Cinema Manager Blocks Guy's Promotion, Stock Room Revenge Follows


One does not simply block another person's deserved promotion without the strong possibility of some backlash. This guy's revenge played into the manager's laziness in the perfect way. Job well done.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/MumblyBum • 2y + JOIN Block my promotion? You silly silly man! This was a few years ago. I got a job in a cinema, I was 4 or 5 years older than most of my co-workers whom it was most of their first jobs. Having had a couple of jobs previous and a few years of maturity under my belt, I quickly became a very valued employee, so much so, I was given a promotion to Supervisor within 6 months. The general manager loved me. I was a Swiss army knife. I would take care of projectio

Text - We had one GM and four floor managers. They all liked me because I made their jobs a lot easier. When I was working they didn't have to work as hard and when it wasn't busy, they didn't have to work at all. Two more years go by and and one of the floor managers says she's leaving in 3 months. Without having to say it, I know l'm going to get her position. They always hire internally and I am head and shoulders above my co-workers. This is where it gets interesting. Let's call this manager

Text - One Thursday I'm doing my projection checks and the GM says that blobby is sick, would I be able to do the stock take. Fuck it, l'll do it, a 9am to 11:30 pm (we have to count the stock at retail after we close hence the late finish) it's a horrible shift but the brownie points are worth it. So next week comes along and instead of doing my projection shift on Thursday l'm in to do a stock shift. I ask the GM what's going on and he said Blobby requested me in. Even though me and the GM get

Text - I grit my teeth and go along with it. It makes sense to learn another avenue of the job. So Thursday nights come around and Blobby sits at his desk with his feet up while I basically do his job. It's not a difficult task and after a month it's a piece of piss. Let me paint a picture of Blobby. He's short, fat and balding. Ear pierced, thinks he's cool but he really isn't. Think David Brent from the office. Keep him on your side and work is a lot easier because he can be quite petty but wh

Text - So the interview starts and I'm hit with "How do you expect to be our manager if your time keeping is so poor?" They have a list of times I clocked in late. 5 minutes here, 7 minutes there. The thing is, time keeping wasn't an issue. You come in late the odd time and then if they needed you to stay back, most would. Take a penny leave a penny scenario. But these guys go to town on me! The have surveillance footage of me taking in a delivery (which isn't part of my job) without wearing a h

Text - My co-worker got it. If it wasn't me I was happy it was her. She was also very good at her job and would no doubt make a fine manager. So after giving so much for the company over 3 years I found my self doing things half-assed. Why go the extra mile when it wasn't appreciated. So I'm still on stock duty on a Thursday night. While Blobby is down dealing with a customer, I'm in the office inputting the stock figures. I accidently close the program. I open "Blobbys folder" where the program

Text - We've already talked about Lates and DANGEROUS DELIVERY! The stealing one is me leaning over a closed till but looks like I'm trying to hide something (which i wasnt). Utter nonsense. "Associates" is pictures of me standing with my co-workers chatting when it wasn't busy and "hungover" was screenshots from my Facebook when I was out the night before and then in work the next day. It was clear as day that this cunt handed this information to the owners.

Text - Finishing up that night was so fucking tough. I wanted to rip that ear ring out and pop his baldy head like a pimple but I played it cool and finished my shift. Monday comes around and I ask to talk to GM. I explain what iv found and it's really serious because it's invasion of privacy. CCTV should only be used to review footage when something goes wrong, not used to stalk me! The GM says he only found out after the interviews were over. The reason he didn't do them was because he was als

Text - So I talk to my brother and sister who are a lot smarter than me about what roads to go down. File a complaint? What's the point when the owners used his dossier against me. Bring him to court? Too much hassle for very little payoff. If you're still reading I applaud you! High five! This is where it gets fun. Blobby wants the GM position more than anything. He has a bit of competition but he's the front runner. I could spend the next two months looking for work or could be ambitious and t

Text - So l'm drinking with my girlfriend one night and we're joking around about how to get revenge. She scared me a little with her suggestions. Some tame ones like key his car and then a straight jump to "burn his house down". If any authorities are watching, we were only joking! And just like that fat boy signed his own death certificate. Whilst I'm on the stock shift he makes a passing remark. "We have to start nailing this stock take down to the last popcorn kernel. The yearly stock take i

Text - "Don't worry Blobby, Mumblybum is on the case, those numbers will be perfect" and he goes for the oscar with this line "You're a good worker, fucking travesty you didn't get the managers job, but when I get the hot seat you'll be made a manager as soon as a position comes up. No interview required" What a prick! I'm so good at the stock take that he doesn't even check my work. I'm making the orders and counting the stock. So over the next 6 weeks I start to fuck shit up! I put the orders

12.

Text - I do this for the next 4 weeks. I'm royally fucked if he ever actually looked in the stock rooms. They're nearly exploding with product! Lucky for me and unlucky for him, he's a lazy cunt! It's the last week before the ball breaker does the end of year stock take. I balance everything on the computer as usual, before we call it a night I tell him to check the presales tomorrow. We're gonna have a busy weekend so I say to him "email our suppliers and get a bit extra, it will all get used a

Text - When I get home that night I type up my resignation letter. I ask the GM who has a couple of weeks left if I can leave immediately due to unforeseen circumstances. He agrees because he's a good man and gives me his personal number and an amazing written reference, wishes me to best and thanks me for all my hard work. Like Andy Dufrense, iv crawled through a sea of shit and came out clean on the other side! I confide in one of the regular workers what iv done over a couple of pints. He sai

Text - Word on the grapevine was that the yearly stock take went into the wee hours off the morning. 3am to be precise. Blobby was boxed in. The stock was a cluster fuck. Tens of thousands of euro off. He could take the blame himself and look incompetent or say I did it, to which he looks worse considering he was behind the dossier to slander me. I don't know what he did. All I know is he didn't get the GM position and within 6 months was working selling furniture! I never spoke to him about it
