Toxic boss who fired me, got fired herself
2 years ago, I worked at a company where a new branch manager (BM) came in shortly after me. She hated me right away and micromanaged me to an extreme.
It was to the point that other seasoned employees started coming up and asking me what her deal with me was, since she would often berate me in front of them.
They were often confused and said “but you did nothing wrong” which was true. I did my job well, was respectful, and made no mistakes with handling money, etc.
In fact my boss admitted that she made more mistakes than me when she was new.
The other employees quietly suggested i go to HR. When I tried to, I was terminated. The hit to my self esteem from all the gaslighting hurt for a very long time. I’ve always prided myself on being a good worker.
Fast forward to today when I went into a branch of the company (I am a customer with them) and started talking to the employees.
It quickly comes up that im a former employee. They tell me my old boss is no longer with the company and im floored.
She was with the company 11 years and told us how hard and long she worked to become a branch manager. BMs usually stay in their branches for YEARS and it takes a lot for them to get the axe.
I looked up her linkedin. She had only been a BM for 10 months. She’s already worked for 2 other banks and not as a manager. She definitely got fired
I dont believe in karma but man I might after today!!

- She saw that you did a better job than her and was threatened by that. People are stupid and childish.
- Same thing happened to me in a different industry. Less than a year last a-hole boss was let go. I believe in karma
- A certain kind of person thinks the way to elevate themselves, is by putting others down. It never works in the long run.
- Yep had the same thing happen to me, new boss pretty much forced me to quit. I got a new job, and he lost his about two weeks later, met him at a conference years later and he acted like we’re were besties, f off
