Fired for a Steak
I once worked with a woman who accused me of doing something I didn’t do, and I got fired for it because she was friends with the manager and the manager took her word over mine. That really sucked because it was one of my first jobs and it kind of effected how I looked at the world for years.
Ten years later, I went to 7-11 to talk to my friend who was the manager there, and I see that same woman working there. So when my manager friend and I went outside, I told him I’d buy him lunch and a case of beer if he fired her.
I know, holding onto a grudge that long probably isn’t worth it, and she obviously wasn’t doing phenomenally in life, but I just couldn’t let it go. A week later, he told me that he wanted to go to dinner at Outback Steakhouse and a case of Labatt because he just fired that woman. Worth it. Smerps
