Employee Automated His Boss’s Work While She Was Absent From Work, Gets Them Fired

In the fast-paced corporate world, efficiency and productivity are highly valued. However, not all employees share the same work ethic or dedication to their tasks.

Imagine having a boss who was always late, frequently absent, and unproductive. That was the situation faced by OP, a data and reporting analyst at a company. OP’s boss, Kerry, was notorious for leaving early, taking days off at short notice, and showing little commitment to her job. The only thing of value Kerry did was handling regular reports such as sales and revenue. However, suspicions arose among the team that Kerry’s lenient treatment was due to an alleged affair with her boss, Stewart.

The CEO of the company was known for incentivizing cost-saving initiatives and rewarding employees for finding ways to streamline tasks and cut costs. Kerry, always eager to submit ideas, encouraged her team to automate their tasks so that she could take credit for the savings. But little did she know that her scheme would soon come to a screeching halt. Scroll down to know how she got fired.
