Fed-up workers (and ex-workers) up and down the country have been committing acts of revenge on their colleagues and customers, and they’ve been confessing all to a workplace law consultancy.
From simple pranks to acts that cross the line into breaking the law, anonymous employees have been opening up about what they’ve done to get their own back. While some of the top ten are funny, there’s a serious side to workplace revenge, the Protecting.co.uk consultancy says, where more serious pranks can hit company profits, or even cause injury to the victims.
“Petty acts of revenge can usually be laughed off,” said Protecting.co.uk spokesperson Mark Hall, “but as soon as the prankster starts targeting customers, suppliers and competitors, your organisation could be letting itself in for costly legal action from which there is little defence.”
