I have written before about my previous boss as she was such a borderline personality with narcissistic traits. I gave her a third of my life and she fired me after 14 yrs without so much as a hello, goodbye or go to hell! Anyway, she did not pay me my final check which included 52 hours of PTO at 21$ an hour. After several months I contacted the labor board and they ordered her to pay. Still nothing. So I set up a court date. It stated clearly in our employee handbook that an employee who left for any reason was entitled to a payout of their PTO. She went so far as to hire a lawyer to try to screw me out of my money which probably cost her more than she owed me! ! I got a few letters in “legalize” which I replied to each “see you in court “. The tone of the messages began to change as the court date approached. Her lawyer even went so far as to ask me what I had that made me feel I would win in court. I sent back, do you think I have stupid tattooed on my forehead? WHY on earth would I tell you that? I knew just what a snake she was and had the feeling she would try to change the employee handbook. I messaged my former Co worker and she told me that, sure enough, the doctor was working on a revision! Ah, how well I know her! Too bad I had the original, dated years ago. Anyway, the lawyer e mailed me the day before court and asked what he could do to fix this without going to court. He knew they would lose. I told him he could fix it by depositing in 2,294$ in my bank acct. He said he would talk to her. I sent him back a msg and told him “good luck”. You are about to see your real client, a screaming, swearing red faced bitch who will now make you the bad guy because you aren’t giving her what she wants! Hours later he asked for my bank acct info. I sent him the routing number and acct number. He then asked me to sign off in the case. I told him I wouldn't until I knew the funds were legit because she would put a stop pay on the check in her true form. He told me that she would be facing BIG trouble from labor commision if she tried something like that and that he had paid it out of his OWN acct and would be billing her for the amount! Once I saw the deposit in my acct I signed off on it with a great big smile on my face! I had won, I beat the selfish psycho. Oh my, how good that felt! Finally, a year after I had been unjustly fired, I had won. I did a little happy dance and basked in the joy of making her do something that I know had her seething with anger that she hadn't gotten her way for a change!
