This Reddit story is a tale of revenge against a tyrant boss. Wait and see how things backfire for the boss!
Not Everything Was Perfect
This story starts a few years ago. Harper was a young woman who worked in the film and TV industry as a production assistant (PA) on a failing TV show.
Assigned Chores
Her job included tasks such as office upkeep, stocking the kitchen, researching for coworkers, picking up supplies from vendors, and picking up lunch for everyone in the department.
Sexist Remarks
At the time, her immediate boss was coordinator #1, who she really liked. Unfortunately, the department head was a sexist AND a racist at the height of the #MeToo movement.
After one too many demeaning sexist remarks, “darlings,” winks, and swiping through Tinder on company time, coordinator #1 reported him to the higher-ups.
A Slap on the Wrist
Sadly, in typical Hollywood fashion, they gave him a gentle slap on the wrist and sent him back to the department.
Coordinator #1 left the show in disgust after this.
No One Liked the New Boss
Enter Harper’s new boss – coordinator #2. From the start, Harper knew that she and coordinator #2 wouldn’t get along.
Rough Start
On her first day, coordinator #2 yelled at Harper for hanging the actor’s photos 11 inches too low on the wall.
On a Power Trip
The situation only got worse from there. Coordinator #2 sucked up to the department head, found faults with everyone around her, and loved power trips.
She quickly became a nuisance to everyone in the department, and the department head was too busy with Tinder to do anything about it!
Unprofessional and Rude
Coordinator #2 constantly berated Harper. She treated her like she was stupid and was constantly unprofessional and rude.
Final Straw
The final straw came when coordinator #2 screamed at her in front of the entire department for a small mistake.
Harper Checks Out
Harper almost packed her bags and walked out, but coordinator #2 told her she was working on her notice and that she would replace her at the end of the month.
No Hypocrisy
From then on, Harper checked out. She still worked, but she made no attempt to hide her disdain for coordinator #2 and her actions.
She was simply there to get the paycheck at the finish line.
The Work Was Hard
At this point, the TV show they were working on had barely started filming, and they were already severely behind schedule.
The construction department was building sets 24/7, and the first episode was supposed to air in the next few weeks.
For everyone in the department, this meant extremely long hours and working six days a week.
Leave Old Problems Behind
But luckily, it wasn’t Harper’s problem. She was leaving soon. Coordinator #2 was even nice enough to remind her on her last week that “Friday is your last day.”
Final Day Comes Around
That last week ended up being one hell of a week – more long hours and running behind schedule. The department would need to work another Saturday!
Well, Friday comes, and Harper gleefully counts down the hours.
The Last Minute Request
At the end of the day, coordinator #2 realized her mistake and hustled over to Harper on her way out the door. She asked her, “Can you work Saturday?”
Standing Her Ground
But she was done. She would not waste another second working for that terrible boss. She responded with, “Nope. You said Friday is my last day.”
That’s when coordinator #2 got huffy: “I’m trying to get you some extra money!”
Bye Bye Job
Harper couldn’t have been any less interested. Giving up one day of her measly PA paycheck was well worth the look on coordinator #2’s face when she said, “No thanks. Friday is my last day. Bye!”
She happily left that job and never had to work with coordinator #2 again!
A New Job
A few weeks later, she took a job on a much better TV show with the nicest crew. To this day, she warns her coworkers never to work with coordinator #2.
It turns out that coordinator #2 has quite a bad reputation around town, even without Harper’s help!
Busy, Busy, Busy!
After Harper left, coordinator #2 had no choice but to do both her job and Harper’s. She had to work the entire weekend, which satisfied Harper. Years later, Harper is now a coordinator herself and knows how busy the job is.
Treats People With Respect
She relies on her amazing PAs to get anything done and wouldn’t dream of treating them like coordinator #2 treated her! She knows their importance and treats them with the respect they deserve!
Revenge Is Sweet
It gives her extreme satisfaction to know that coordinator #2 had to get off her high horse, halt her “Very Important Emails™,” and get everyone “lunch and snacks” until the department head found a replacement for Harper.
Glad You Got Out
Redditors loved this woman’s tale of malicious compliance. They particularly enjoyed how coordinator #2 ended up completely ruining their work/life balance by sacking Harper for something minor!
One user said, “As a former PA, one bad higher-up can make or break the mood on and off the set. Glad you got out.”
