'My boss fired me for being unwell - my revenge meant her business fell apart'

A woman has stated that she got revenge on her boss after she was allegedly fired for 'being sick'.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, the anonymous woman took matters into her own hands with a satisfactory comeback, which she says was a 'joy' to witness.

Taking to popular forum site Reddit, she explained how her remarks meant that the business began to decline until the point that it started to 'fall apart'.

She wrote: "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."

The woman explained further: "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 there child there. Quite a joy to watch her place fall apart. :)."

Since sharing her thread, the woman's post has raked in over 150 comments to date - where people flocked to share their opinions.

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."

"How is it ok for them to fire you on the spot like that?" One shocked user questioned.
