Woman Faces Backlash Over Revenge on Rude Coworker

A woman recently faced criticism for retaliating against a coworker who repeatedly mocked her weight. The 35-year-old, who describes herself as "on the stockier side," shared her story publicly, revealing that her coworker, Debbie, had made disparaging remarks about her appearance for months. This is prepared by SSP.

In her post on Netmums, she emphasized that she is not obese and feels comfortable with her body. However, she expressed frustration about Debbie's continuous comments that made her uncomfortable. Repeatedly, she found herself unable to provide proof of these remarks.

Determined to confront the situation, the woman devised a plan to teach Debbie a lesson. She stated, "Today, I decided I'd finally had enough. I wrote something down on a sheet of paper." The confrontation took a dramatic turn when she approached Debbie, tapped her on the shoulder, and handed her a note that read, "Debbie - You're fired. Signed, The boss." This unexpected action led Debbie to burst into tears and exit the building in distress.

Following her actions, the woman reflected on whether she had crossed a line. Many commenters responded critically to her post. One user remarked, "This is bullying which she can prove with the note. You are a bully, just like her. If she follows procedure, how would you feel if they discipline you?" Another user cautioned, "You never got her fired; you lied. Instead of enacting revenge, you could have reported this behavior to your boss. If she files an unfair dismissal lawsuit, you may face serious consequences."
