To ask for your stories of when a horrible manager has actually come unstuck?

My relative had worked at the same company for a few years when her manager left and was replaced by a bully. Over the next decade, the bully forced dozens of staff members out, usually when they were still new. The bully was also extremely lazy and left her staff to do almost all of the work. It took a very long time, but eventually the bully was caught committing fraud and sacked.

First boss - awful. Do as I say, not as I do. Often unkind and also inept.
She'd got away with being awful for a long time, even though senior management were in the know. The rest of us had never officially made a complaint but morale was sometimes low in the department.
Met someone years later - their colleague (who tbh sounded just as awful) had stabbed first boss in the back, when they'd been off poorly. They made an official complaint then unlocked a cupboard, which apparently was a snapshot of the person's disorganisation. First boss was demoted as a result, having met her match.

Dh had a vile editor in a newspaper. He shouted and swore a lot. When dtds were born prematurely and I’ve stopped breathing, he refused to allow dh family/emergency leave and refused paternity leave until the date they were due arrived. He did allow dh to be at the birth and have the full day as a good will gesture 😳🙄. they were making redundancies and he threatened dh with that and he was young and nervous so didn’t protest due to fear he’d lose his job.

About 8 months later he was accompanied from his office with no warning never to be seen again having been sacked for gross misconduct. We think it was something to do with expenses but never quite got the facts.

Sorry, no big 'stories' for you on bully boss comeuppance. I had a horrible line manager for a while and everyone in the office was so professional that it took me a long time to grasp that they all hated her too. That was a nice thing to know.

My former manager was absolutely vile (as well as somewhat incompetent) and tried to blame me for decisions made by others whilst I was on mat leave. They were later involved in a professional scandal at work and left ‘to pursue other opportunities’. It is unclear whether other opportunities have actually arisen.

Not unstuck but what kept me sane was the knowledge that he thought he was loved by everyone when in reality no one could stand him. He was even given a nickname by people who worked with him in and out of the organisation. I won’t out myself by saying the real name but it’s along the same lines as
Dickhead Davis (made up) it was Dickhead but I am not saying the really last name.

When he was being an arse I just kept saying Dickhead Davis to myself. It helped. All the women also said he made their skin crawl and he thought he was gods gift.
