    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 genuinely don’t understand how they get that Twitter reply and still try to snitch. Why would they give you their boss’s phone number if they weren’t 100% sure that their boss would be cool with their posts?

        Given it’s a person from a recruitment agency, I wonder if they intended to double dip, get the poor sap fired then try to both fill the new vacancy they created and help the poor sap they got fired land a new gig through them

    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.
