Bullies.. Even as an adult... Cant wait to redeem myself

I am not a "show off" gloating kind of person at all! But I can't wait to walk back into my old job in 1 year and watch my 2 old bosses jaws drop!

For 4 and a half years I worked at a small family owned grocery store with 2 of the worst bosses ever! They bullied ridiculed and degraded me daily. Made fat jokes and ordered me to do jobs that literally were physically impossible or Extremely hard on my body. And then punish me for not completing my tasks or having to ask for help.

The day I quit my boss and I were in a storage room for back stock. I was organizing products and my boss (store supervisor/manger) starts talking about some song. A country song called "Rockin the beer gut" I knew what he was talking about but I never thought he'd actually say what he said. "So, do you like to drink?.. Is that why your stomachs so big? Rockin a beer gut?"

I walked out that day and haven't been back. I now can't wait to get skinny and get all dressed up walk in there and just watch their reactions, and because I'm not employed there anymore I'm going to give them a piece of my mind!

If you do this be sweet as pie. Remember if you wrestle with the pigs you will get dirty and that's what they want. Take the higher road

Sounds like the 2 bosses cultivated an atmosphere of bullying if the employees act that way too. Just seeing you will be 'revenge' enough - you won't need to say anything AND you'll feel like the winner if you don't get entangled with the low life individuals they appear to be.

Hold you head high, strut your stuff and smile the biggest smile as you see the looks on their faces.

Folks like that MAKE ME SICK. They tend to be miserable in their own lives and believe it or not may have had their OWN STRUGGLES WITH WEIGHT in their childhood and feel justified as adults now they are thin to pick on other people who are now overweight.

Be careful if you do. Have a thick skin on... Have a few slick responses PLANNED if they come for you like: I might have been fat but UGLY IS FOREVER! LOL

Most importantly LOOK HOT!!!!!! ;) I bet they won't even recognize you and will try and hit on you! That's when you drop the bomb... YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME?

LOLOLOL if I could be a fly on the wall! :)

I'd say go in there and be happy and fabulous without stooping to their level. No better revenge then being the better person inside and out.

I think that is exactly what I will do!

You should go in wearing a red high heal pump' date=' sun glasses, and be all dolled up. Knowing men they probably won't recognize you at first. Act like demanding customer, you worked there so you know what kind of customers make their lives living hell.

I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of discussing your weight loss or what they did to you. Leave them guessing and wondering. Would drive them nuts. Success is the best revenge.[/quote']

Exactly what I'm thinking!!

Lol! I keep envisioning it, and that's pretty much how I think it will happen! Makes me feel better just to think about it! Ha.. Can't wait

Yes. I will be returning as a customer... But I won't spend a penny in that store!

I filed a complaint with my union rep and with the store owner but it went know where they are all out to cover each others asses. And as far as my former coworkers.. They are all aware of the behavior. They take turns picking on each and every employee. They do it because they know the workers really need their jobs in this economy and because they know if someone quits because of it that worker is replaceable. And no one complains for fear of losing their job. Even if they did file a complaint ... No one does anything about it.

it's been 3 years since I quit i know i will need to have tough skin because they will probably try to take credit for my weight loss so I could easily argue that if they had that big of an impact on my life' date=' I would have lost weight sooner.

I just want to embarrass them as much as they do everyone else. Not sure what I will do or say, but I have a year to figure out. I also feel like the owners will take me a little more seriously when I'm not a blob of fat and get those 2 out of there, or get them help and leave the employes alone. I feel bad for my former work friends.[/quote']

You know dear, I'm glad u decided to vent here bc u r getting some sound advice, wise for the most part. The sad thing that I read is that you've been holding on to the anger for 3 years. N now ur plotting sweet revenge for a yr from now. Honey, no matter what you do or say to them, won't fix what needs fixing inside. You urself stated that they won't take you seriuos if u go in as a fat blob. Imho...its been years of people verbally abusing u for your physical appearance, to the point that u believed it. So no matter what the outside turns out to b, its ur insides u shud work on too b4 u go to that store. I understand they hurt u, but like one other said, they cud make u feel worse. So don't give them the satisfaction of breathing ur air. If u go back, go now n look around, don't wait until u have the "perfection" that they made u feel was needed to be around them. If you have to go, for ur own peace, do it w class. Go now, after u lose 30 or so, then again some time later but say nothing. Let ur classiness speak for you. But don't spend a penny! Then on ur terms, forgive their ignorance, thank God u r not like them, n forgive urself for carrying around that extra weight they placed on u for 3 yrs running. End it and prove to urself that u r a beautiful young classy lady, inside n out! God bless ur journey:)

You are spot on. I am a work in progress. I won't deny that I hold a grudge against these two guys, and that its unhealthy. But I was picked on more there then all my years in school. That's messed up. I wouldn't say it's been 3 years of anger.. I'm not really angry as I am disgusted that as much as we are trying to teach children not to bully there are still ignorant adults in this world who should know better. All in all I guess I don't want to "teach them a lesson"... I just to strut my stuff and make them wonder. Lol
