"I don¡¯t even care that this was immature and petty of me. I can¡¯t stress enough how awfully I was treated in this job and how the entire team joined in on it. I was the only woman on the team so it could¡¯ve been that, but I don¡¯t want to play the gender card. I was never rude to these guys. I¡¯m not too fond of confrontation, so I used to be a doormat. I was afraid to rock the boat, so I just accepted how I was treated," the woman wrote.
How did she take revenge?
The woman explained that she could still get into her manager's account even a week after quitting her job.
So, she went ahead and changed the password, affecting everyone else in the company who needed to log in.
"One evening, I went home for the night and never went back. I got various calls from them all on WhatsApp asking why I hadn¡¯t shown up, and I ignored them. I couldn¡¯t face talking on the phone to them because I was already very upset from the evening before."
"A week after I quit my job, I realized I was still logged into my manager¡¯s account, and he hadn¡¯t changed the password. This account was basically the restaurant¡¯s entire database. I decided to change the email to a fake one I¡¯d made, and then I changed everyone¡¯s password so they couldn¡¯t access it," she wrote.
