I was night shift manager at a convenience store. My boss obviously knew that, as she was the general manager. And yet she would repeatedly call me at home during the day--when, I told her often, I was sleeping. I finally had enough, so I left a note for her: "If you call me during {hours} again, I will quit.

So...guess what. She called me, I said "Better find someone for tonight cu I'm not coming in. I quit.".

I was on a contract that ended on Sept 30. They offered an extension 2 months earlier and I said no. Sept 30 would be my last day.

From the day I turned down the extension I was person non grata in the office.... I was removed from group emails, never invited to the weekly lunch out, ignored on breaks, went to the office and the department was empty...they had gone on a 2 day 'Team Building" exercise and didn't even tell me. I spent 2 days reading and playing online games.

On my last day I went around saying bye to other departments. My boss came raging after me saying we are having a team meeting and I HAVE to be there. I asked someone to take a peak and they had a gift and cake for my last day.

So after 2 months of being treated like c**p, they wanted to ease their minds by giving me a cake.

I snuck to my desk, got my jacket, went out the front door and drove away. Apparently they were PISSED and were paging me over and over and sending people all over the office to look for me.

BTW...the department I worked in was HR.

The week before I was due to go on holiday, my boss completely dropped the ball on a project. He said "Oh, it's OK, we'll just cancel WitShortage's holiday."

I reached for a post it note, wrote a number on it, and handed it to him.

He said "What's this?"

"It's my wife's mobile number. You'll need to call her and tell her why she's not getting to go to France next week.".

My ex boss, who tried to get me fired for taking paternity leave, was a c**t and not well liked. The problem was, I always used to respect him and had a great relationship with him for many years til that episode

Anyway, he left the company before I did and moved around jobs. A large company in our space contacted me because he had gone for a VP position there, and his references he were all SVP and CRO roles (his buddies, but high up).

Anyway, the company contacted me as their "unofficial" background check and asked me to give an unofficial character reference, and I very objectively destroyed him - and he didn't get the position.

That was my f**k you to him, only he never knew why.
