This boss tried to bluff, only for their employee to call them out on it. While things didn't go to plan for the boss, their employee, u/exie610, got some amazing revenge.
Some managers have no respect for individual jobs. Instead, they'll insist that alongside your own job, you can also do the work of four or five other people. Why do one job excellently when you can do five jobs badly? At some companies, things are always run this way, either because the boss is a penny pincher, or because management is fine with having a high turnover rate. No one likes to feel undervalued and overworked, but if the money is right, some people will put up with it.
This person had a critical role at this company — they were responsible for accounts receivable and the customer database, a job that they often did remotely. The OP admits that they automated some parts of the role just because they could, making their job super easy while also completing the tasks of numerous people. Then one day, their boss tried to threaten their job. Unfortunately for the boss, he did such a horrible job of "motivating" his employee that he fired them moments into their meeting. Instead of inspiring his employee to work harder, he now had a former employee with no interest in going back to the way things were before.
Check out this excellent malicious compliance story below. Then, this woman couldn't stop complaining about her key card, so the manager "fixed" it for her.
