I worked as an assistant manager at of the main Pizza Chains (I will leave the actual company unnamed) I had been there for roughly two years and seen many Assistant and Store Managers come and go, either being transferred or quitting. Some were good, some were bad.

One Particular Assistant Manager that joined our team (We’ll call him Josh) was a complete jerk right from the start. A scrawny little punk in his early 20s. He has a smug, condescending attitude, treated everyone as if they were inferior to him.

The one thing that really pushed me over the edge was when he accused me of stealing, sent me home, telling me I was fired. All the while, refusing to listen to my suggestion that he check the security camera. Also, keep in mind that we were both assistant managers. I’ve been there for over two years. He had been there for only a few weeks.

After I left, I called the Store Manager and explained the situation. He didn’t care weather I stole something or not, he just stated that Josh had no right to do what he did.

As for the revenge I got against this smug little punk…

I had come to open the store and found it a complete disaster. Everything like the oven and such were still running, food was left out, etc. When I opened the safe I found the money all just all strewn in there. The correct procedure would have been to count the money. Keep $500 organized and stacked in the safe and put the rest in a deposit bag to be taken to the bank that night. All he did was cash out the drivers and tossed all the money in the sage, unorganized and didn’t do any paperwork or deposit.

I call the Store Manager to find out what the hell happened and he informed me that according to the drivers who were working, Josh had a mental breakdown, began throwing and kicking stuff then just sent everyone home several hours before the store was supposed to close. If he hadn’t quit, he would obviously be fired. Either way he wouldn’t be working for us anymore.

I went back to the safe, opened it and while obscuring the camera’s view, pocketed about $200. I then called the manager back saying, “Hey, I counted the cash, but It’s like $200 or so short. I don’t even know if we still have orders from last night that need to be can-”

He cut me off saying, “Don’t worry about it. He didn’t take care of the money, its on him. If its short, its coming out of his last check. “
