Some people's claim to fame end when they get promoted, and from then on they simply sit at their desk, playing Candy crush on their phone, overlooking a bunch of other employees, not doing any more actual work. Either they aren't very self-aware when they expect to get glowing references from former coworkers, or they're downright delusional. Either way, if you're not gonna work, don't expect the people you effed over to vouch for you when you begin looking for another job.
This is the case here — a woman who was part of a programming team in a company did some work on a suite of software tools that (everyone in the company was then forced to use) got promoted, and decided that her work was done. After that, she sat on her throne (office chair), and read paperback novels all day. Maybe she felt she was entitled to her 'break', but the fact of the matter was, she wasn't actually doing any work from then on.
The company eventually came crashing down, and many years later, an old coworker of hers received a comical phone call — apparently, this lady had listed him as a job reference. He found this to be the perfect opportunity to get her back and enacted some petty revenge. Scroll down to read the detailed account below.
