I work at an MSP, and got sexually harassed by a client recently. I just found out he got fired over it. I get to disable all of his accounts and stuff. It's so amazing.

I joined a company, was given part ownership, could not believe how much money was wasted by the other owners behind the curtain, proposed reforms that were ignored, set up a presentation showing that we could all retire in 4 years on interest if we invested excess profits, nobody was interested. They just wanted to expand.

The other owners were taking minimum to zero salary, saying that their stakes would pay off soon after they expanded.

I insisted on receiving full salary since I was working and again explained that we could all start receiving interest payments right away if we invested this year's profits. Ignored.

After two years of full salary and basically running the company, warning the other owners I would leave if nothing changed and they kept investing capital into unnecessary expansions for a year, I gave two months notice, the other owners acted surprised, I trained a few people to do my job, cashed out my ownership, left the company, cut ties, haven't looked back in years .

Just found out a couple weeks ago that the company collapsed almost immediately after I left.

Big ol' grin on my face all that day.
