    Tommy should have fucked with him for longer. Been like “message my employer here" -guy texts employer to try to get Tommy in trouble. Boss-“thanks for letting me know, ill make sure to give him a promotion and vacation days. At our company we care about honesty and integrity and twitter is a shithole. Also fuck off I’m my own boss"

      No you play it even further. Reply yo text “thank you for informing us. This employee has been terminated.”

      Then back on Twitter you reply with how you have been fired, will not be able to pay rent, children will starve, etc etc.

      Only after that for a while do you do the big reveal.

    This kinda happened to me back in the nineties.

    A former manager, no longer with our company, got word that I was interviewing for a new job.

    She took it upon herself to call my then current manager to inform him that I was looking for a job.

    To this he responded that not only was he aware of the situation, but he had helped refer me and and was facilitating the process because my wife had just gotten pregnant, the new job was double the income, and I was gonna need that, and he was happy for me.

    I still fantasize about bringing severe misfortune to that woman.

        Nah. While I’ve got zero desire to associate with my ex-wife in any way, shape, or form, we are both substantially different people today than the petulant selfish people we both were when we split up. I wish no ill will toward her.

          I’d argue the opposite. It’s all about power. The ex-manager was feeling powerless. By snitching on the employee, they gained a small measure of power over their world. Getting beaten up/bullied as a child will make you feel VERY powerless. Unless that trauma is resolved, that will continue into adulthood. They will then likely lash out in exactly this way.

          More likely, they weren’t given the love needed to realise the compounding power of positive action and self confidence. The current manager was using exactly that. He was helping a friend out, at cost to himself. He had the confidence he could deal with the minor loss though, and that it would pay off down the line (even if only in a warm fuzzy feeling, of helping someone out).

          Basically, less beatings, more hugs.
