Just curious if anyone has a story where, perhaps, an old boss or a rude interviewer showed back up in your career life needing your help or business. Maybe you helped them remember how poorly they treated you?
Yes someone reported me for BS, basically a backstabber and now he needs a job and is about to get laid off from the same employer that laid me off.
I am pretending to help sincerely and of course I am not doing anything for him. I hope he is forced to move back home, gets divorced and loses custody of his child.
You don't f&^*% with my livelihood and think I'll ever forget it. If you're dirty to me I take it to the next level. Hammurabi but if you take one eye from me I'll take two. So you won't ever be able to try that BS on me ever again.
As an undergrad intern I got knifed in the back by one of my fellow interns who was a lying drama queen and stirred up trouble to get attention. My internship was coming to an end anyway, but the organization had a history of hiring their interns and needless to say I did not get a job offer.
Fast forward a couple years. The place I'm working at is hiring and I'm on the selection panel. The boss hands out the resumes and here's one from the backstabbing fellow intern! She did get hired by the place we interned at, but now she's not working there anymore and had been unemployed for a while. I said I knew her from my internship and told the story. Boss said, "Okay, that one's a hard NO," and we moved on.
I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how other people did me wrong, but that felt good. I found out later from someone who still worked there (it was a small local government office) that she had made so much drama at that job that the county came in, cleaned house, and fired her along with a few other people. Our profession is a very small world so for a couple years after that I made sure to mention that fact to anyone who knew her or had business with that office.
When the universe gives you an opportunity like that, you seize it with both hands.
I was hired to replace a person who was leaving. After I was hired, that person decided they were no longer leaving and, as there was no longer a position for me (small 12 person company) I was let go.
Well, the person was given a better offer by the employer she turned down, and ended up resigning the afternoon I was fired.
I was let go, per the BS I was given, because I wasn't a good fit. During the termination meeting, I said "Why don't you tell me the truth, it's because you hired me before you were sure so and so was actually leaving...the person didn't answer, but didn't make ANY eye contact with me for the rest of the conversation.
So, I was fired because the employer didn't have her ducks in a row...and then the person I was replacing left after all. Guessing she wishes she hadn't let me go.

I've seen bad things happen to people who were not nice.
I totally agree!
