"I figured she is a midnight-to-7-AM sleeper," Man Takes Revenge on Aggressive Boss By...
One user took to Reddit to share his experience of taking revenge on his "super aggressive" boss by sending her emails during her sleep hours.
People often turn to Reddit to share their personal experiences and secrets anonymously. Similarly, one user took to Reddit to share his experience of taking revenge on his "super aggressive" boss by sending her emails during her sleep hours.
The man mentioned he is almost at retirement.
His Reddit post read: "She's one of those super aggressive types who wants to be CEO before she is 45, so she's doing it on the backs of the entire team. I'm close to retirement. I give zero phucks. Her MO is to send emails all day asking for and expecting an immediate response. She sometimes emails up until midnight and starts again always after 7 AM. So, I figured she is a midnight-to-7-AM sleeper."
The user also shared a detailed account of how he scheduled emails and sent them at odd hours. He further explained how the scheduled emails would affect her.
The post has garnered over 7,300 upvotes and hilarious reactions from the Reddit community.
Internet's Reaction
One person commented, "While she was dozing, I sent a delayed email. I hope this is real—I am loving this whole story."
Another person shared their own experience: "I had a boss that loved suspense times. I need that by 5 PM, get it to me by 3:45 PM, no later than the end of today. It didn’t matter how big or small the task, it always came with a due date and time. And I would use the delay send to email the suspense at 4:59 PM, 3:44 PM, 11:59 PM. We didn’t get along before, and delaying the email didn’t help any. But just like most bosses, he left before he could do anything to stop me."
A third person remarked, “It's a good lesson to learn early: work isn't everything and life has many other purposes. Some of which she's clearly missing out on if her kids don't have her attention after work and her husband is sleeping in the guest room... It would be a good time to turn her life around.”
A fourth wrote, “The incredible part is that she wants to be CEO by 45 and apparently thinks this is how you get there. Whomever fooled her into believing that is an even bigger Satan than the OP.”
Another comment read, "Just shared this with my wife. She has a very petty/toxic manager, and maybe this should give her some ideas and have some fun."
