I’m gonna go on the record right here and now and say it…

I’m not a fan of junk email!

In fact, it drives me crazy…

So I can understand why the person who wrote this story on Reddit’s “Petty Revenge” weaponized email lists against a horrible boss!

Check out what happened!

Signed my boss up for every email list I could find.

“Back in the early 2000s, I had a manager that would often be a jerk to many of his employees, including me.

He loved to tell people that they should be happy to have a job, gave no constructive feedback, it was all just how bad we were. When I got my review for the year, he had given me a 1 of 5.

When I asked his boss to review my review, his boss literally said “What the heck?” as he had talked to lots of my internal customers.

His boss actually gave me a 4.7 or something out of 5 on the re-review because he knew the changes I had helped the team make.

Let’s see how he likes this…

Not long after the review, I would be on the internet and anytime that a website would ask me to sign up for their email (long before you had to opt-in) I would put his work email into the field.

I did this for a few weeks and then moved on with my life because I had a million other things to do.

A year later, I was helping him with something on his computer and made a comment about having 10,000 unread emails and he made a comment about getting on some spam lists and now getting hundreds of emails a day weren’t work related.

When I left his office after that, I suddenly remembered signing him up for email lists and smiled back to my desk.”

And he’ll never knew who was responsible! Well played!
