Desperate Measures for Desperate Times

Put-upon employees have exacted revenge through the following ill-advised (yet apparently satisfying) means:

·  Had subscriptions to fetish magazines sent to the office in their bosses' name.

·  Stole the boss's clothes out of his locker while he was taking a shower at the corporate fitness center.

·  Got into the boss's e-mail, found a message she had written calling the president of the company a dork, and sent it to everyone in the office ... including the president.

·  A woman who was tired of her manager taking credit for her ideas (and aware he couldn't tell a good idea from a bad one) let her boss steal several great ideas, then slipped in five that were so bad the boss was demoted.

·  A vice president whose ego was far larger than his own stature was furious when he found out days later that staff members changed his office caller I.D. to appear as Lord Farquaad, the 4-foot-tall evil ruler from the movie "Shrek."

·  Then there were the direct reports who decided to give their cheapskate boss his comeuppance by mocking up a $500 gift certificate to an expensive restaurant and sending it with a letter saying he was the winner of a promotional event. He invited friends, ran up a $600 bill, and then found out the hard way the restaurant would not accept the fake certificate.
·  I won't get into some of the other ways employees have gotten even, but let's just say, if you're a rotten manager, you might want to get your own coffee.

If you have other methods - purely hypothetical, of course - feel free to leave them in comments.
