Woman gets 'revenge' on her boss who fired her for 'being unwell'

A woman has claimed that she finally got her revenge on an old boss, after she was allegedly given the boot for 'being sick'.

The woman states that instead of feeling sorry for herself, she took matters into her own hands with satisfying revenge, reports the Mirror. She claims that the comeback was a 'joy' to witness.

Writing on popular social website Reddit, the woman explained that her statements caused the business to decline, until it eventually began to 'fall apart'.

The anonymous woman said: "I worked as a gymnastics coach. I just started working there for a month or two.

"And in a month I started getting really dizzy (regularly outside of work) and I would lose my balance best way to describe it as my brain lagging."

She continued: "I'd look one way and it'd take forever for my eyes to adjust looking that way. And I left early 30 mins early once because I could not stand and if I coached I didn't want to pass out or miss spot them then something goes wrong.

"Then the next time this happened I asked my boss to cover for me real quick to go to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and threw up and left then went to the hospital. I never threw up and the dizzy was bad.

"While I was in the ER my boss fired me. Didn't say hope you feel better or anything. Just fired me.

"So I told the people I know there and the people i’m close with who go there I told them what happened and they were appalled at why they fired me so they left and quit going there or sending their child there. Quite a joy to watch her place fall apart. :)."

Since posting this story, the thread has raked in more than 150 comments, as people shared their opinions on the situation.

One person wrote: "She showed her true colours then. She is a selfish boss since she didn't even give you a chance to recover and come back."

Another said: "How is it ok for them to fire you on the spot like that?"
