Recently, a Twitter user who goes by the handle @Itkeekz shared a post telling how his boss screwed up big time. “My boss deactivated my coworker’s email who just quit too quickly and didn't realize it controls our company calendar,” he wrote, adding that “now all of those events for the next 3 years are gone.”

As you try to picture the sheer regret on this boss's face, I have to tell you this happens more often than you’d think. Blame it on rash light-headedness or plain impulsiveness, but the truth is that employers are not immune to messing up.

The story was reshared by one Redditor on the Antiwork subreddit, an online community with 1.8m members, where it quickly blew up. More people chimed in to share their own experiences, telling how their bosses blew things after their worker got fired or decided to quit. Scroll down below for some of the most interesting and telling stories.
