Boss Fired Me After 25 Years, Then 70% Of His Clients Closed Their Accounts. Little Did He Know...

Ruth’s story is the perfect example of how true value isn’t in corporate policies or numbers-it’s in relationships, integrity, and dedication. Her patience and professionalism turned betrayal into triumph. A powerful lesson in knowing your worth! 👏🔥

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and Ruth’s triumph. I love that she really didn’t orchestrate revenge; her good work over the years did the trick.

Wow, Ruth is an absolute legend! 25 years of loyalty just to get stabbed in the back like that, and then she turns it around and owns the whole game 👋👋

Loyalty and experience should never be taken for granted. Actions have consequences, and this boss learned that the hard way!

This story is wild! Ruth didn’t even have to lift a finger-her clients basically said, ‘Nah, we’re out,’ and tanked the firm. Goes to show you can’t just toss people aside and expect everything to keep running smooth. Love the comeback!

I like the way she handled this. With integrity and professionalism. She didn't sling mud, and found a solution that worked out for most.

Loyalty and experience aren’t replaceable. He underestimated the impact of one employee, and it cost him everything!

“That boss really learned the hard way - you don’t throw away people who helped build your success. 25 years of dedication deserves better!”

That Dominic was a right doosh! I'm surprised anyone wanted to give him a job after that ridiculous decision!
Another great story!👏🏼

I was forced out of partnership in a similar manner after an aggressive stock control bidding war which I lost. In the end I won spectacularly as I received an exceptionally inflated buyout driven by EGO and the bidding war. The crazy part was that even though I honored my non-compete to the letter, the clients I had faithfully serviced for many years, the largest clients of the company, decided to leave because they did not like how there accounts were being handled and the rumors in the industry surrounding my departure. The firm has almost folded 5 yrs later. The client relationship and trust is by far the most valuable asset of a firm.

Arthur did nothing to give her a partnership after all those years. Never go back to a firm that fires you.

Dominic believed that cutting costs was the most important thing, but he overlooked the fact that people and relationships are the greatest assets, as exemplified by Ruth’s perseverance and true value.

Dominic thought cutting costs was everything, but he forgot that it was people and relationships that were the greatest assets. Ruth is a great example of perseverance and true value!

Arthur having the "Yeah, I screwed you over - that's business! Why aren't you accepting that and treating me with the reverence I'm certain I deserve?" moment. Sort of a really harsh FAFO moment for him.

Wow, Ruth is an absolute legend! 25 years

Ruth's resilience and professionalism really paid off in the end. It’s a great reminder to always know your worth and never let anyone undervalue you.

Justice is sometimes late but always sweet! Congratulations on getting through and shining! 🌟

Ruth's patience was rewarded, but it's unfortunate how dedication is often overlooked until it's too late.

Ruth’s a boss, period. The way she let them dig their own grave and then swooped in with Blackwell? That’s some next-level chess moves. Arthur acting all shocked at the end-dude, you let this happen. Eat that humble pie!

Loved this story. What made it truly enjoyable was proper pronunciation, rhythm of speech, and verbal full stops in the right place and time lines correct.

Such an inspiring reminder that true success is built on character, not just numbers! 👏

He fired the head of Client Relations? What a dumb donkey. He deserves whatever he gets.

I LOVE...how this story is being told! I Love the Story. There's a lot of wisdom in this, and I LOVE it! Ruth is a Treasure, and was foolishly let go...

Wow, that’s some poetic justice! It sounds like your boss didn’t realize how valuable you were to the company. I’m curious to hear more about how everything unfolded after you were let go. What a twist with the clients! It just goes to show the impact one person can have.

Arthur let his greed get in the way of loyalty. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late. No sympathy!

01:59 25 years of building the company, only to be thrown out like a stranger? Absolutely heartless and ungrateful! I hope people like Dominic get exactly what they deserve!

Well done, Ruth. She kept everything professional after the termination. The management at Franklin completely underestimated Ruth's role in and the importance of client relationships and it bit them in the butt. Franklin showed Ruth no respect for her and her years of service and she came out the victor.

This story shows a clear lesson: Loyalty may be overlooked, but human values ​​always exist. Failure to value talent will cost the company.

No way in hell would I walk away with 2 months severance after 25 years with an employer.

They will regret this and learn a valuable lesson. Dominic deserves to be disgraced

07:43 This is disgusting! 25 years of loyalty, and they throw her out like trash? No wonder the company is falling apart. Karma is working FAST!

I have personally witnessed this type of corp inhumanity. It's a real thing. Most times it doesn't end well. Ruth had serendipity sitting in her lap and she played it like a boss.

She loved and trusted him, but he only saw her as a tool. His biggest mistake ever!

Good story. She didn’t have to do anything. Her with paid off for her in the end. She kept her values in her clients from the beginning to present and this is why many followed her to her new career choice .

Ohhhhh Nooooo the smile that doesn't reach the eyes👀😑

25 Years Down the Drain?! Boss Thought He Won… Until 70% of Clients Said ‘Bye!’ 😳🔥

L❤ved this story plot of the cutthroat business world. WTH... a 2 months severage package after 25 years?! She should have been gone a long time ago from that ill fated corporate culture.

Revenge Alley, this story is very well done and not one of your rinse and repeat stories. The AI narration is well done. Good job, keep it up.

Imagine firing the woman who literally held 70% of your client relationships, someone who can do everything in your company even isn't her special field - and expecting no consequences. Dominic, meet cause and effect.

Someone that works with clients regularly by cell phone will be doing so on a company owned phone. All business contact information would be on that phone and it will be the only contact number the clients have for her. When she was terminated and security escorted out, she would have been required to relinquish the phone as well. I love these stories! It’s like reading encyclopedia brown as a child!

They tossed Ruth aside like she was some outdated policy, but now their modernization is falling apart. They thought cutting her off would save the company, but instead, they handed their biggest clients straight to the competition.

Unfortunately corporations do this every day. The millionaires & billionaires do this every day. DOGE is another example!

Good story

Down sized just before retirement. How convenient.

2 months salary after 25 years? Very poor. Such a humiliating way to be retrenched.

I wish those who read this have a successful life, have a clear goal and find the right love.

A profound lesson in knowing your worth! 👏

It's really unfair to discuss her because she was afraid of being fired after 25 years of working for the company. But she tried her best to overcome all difficulties and was fired early.

The story is nervous until the last minute, I like that

You are more valuable than they realize

Great story👌👌👌❤

Absolutely heartless and ungrateful!

Hopefully he realizes his mistake... but it may be too late!

Treating your clients well pays off.

They can use the excuse of downsizing in any “at will State”. It happened to me after 47 1/2 years. I had all the experience and knowledge in several areas. Great reviews and Business Company’s that appreciated working with me. You know it’s personal when they make the decision you can never work there again. I was in no way prepared to leave or retire. I need to work , as I live alone. Severance of 4 weeks - to keep me from discussing they’re secrets. Of course, I did not comply. These companies have no moral or ethical compass as businesses in the past. The only ones left know very little. They will stab each other in the back till no one is left to keep things afloat.

Nice Very Good Story!

Lisa Simpson: What kind of a disgraceful employer Dominic wants to terminate or dismiss my best worker Ruth, even when my husband Milhouse works with us? This is all unfair and unreasonable!
Milhouse: Exactly Lisa! At least the two of us also invest in one gold bar a month shows why we are as wealthy as Paris Hilton and Victoria Adams-Beckham. I can't stand Dominic treating us badly.
Ruth: Thanks for helping and protecting me Lisa and Milhouse. You two are as wealthy as Paris Hilton and Victoria Adams-Beckham.
Lisa Simpson: Come on you two, lets work for the Springfield Government instead.
Ruth: Thanks Lisa for the Springfield Government job. I'm happy to work with you and Milhouse.
Dominic: Hey, wait a minute Lisa and Milhouse! You two cannot walk out on me just because I terminated Ruth. I don't care if you two work for the Springfield Government even if all my other clients want to work for the US Government.

Amazing story .

Great story.

You disrespected me! You took sides against the family. We are done.

After 23 years at the same job, I make my career look easy to an outside observer. If they want my job or compete with me, they are willing to do so. There is more than enough work to go around. Most employees in my field of work on average burnout after three years. I don't have to say anything, you can tell my job seniority by the first three digits of my employee number.

My story might sound unusual. When I found out my wife was cheating, I didn't confront or react dramatically-I just carried on like nothing happened, even treating her with kindness. Eventually, she genuinely realized her mistake and asked to reconcile. Was I too forgiving

Nice Story ❤

Maybe Dominic needs to be let go

I adore this story.The company did this to themselves by allowing a younger manager with far less experience to ax their best employee!!👍👍👍👏👏👏😂😂❤️🐉💙💙🌈🌈😎😎👍😎

Quite surprised Ruth didn’t have to sign a non-compete at her hiring & wasn’t forced to when she was “downsized.”

Money talks. Wealth whispers. Talent remains silent. We don't have time to speak and gossip. We are too busy keeping the gears moving and lubricating each of the machine parts. You only notice us when the gears grind and the machines seize up and stop. Then, it is too late. Three months later and 3,000 miles down the road.

Great story!

story is good!

But who I feel sorry for was the man that she started out in the company, how could he protect her when he was in London trying to open up the over seas market and that dimwit was strategic setting himself up to takeover his company. And she needed to step up to the plate and say I think I need better compensation then what you have offered me. Because they knew she was the clue that held the company together. I really kind of hate this story, just saying.

the first owner should have realised what could happen either supporting or giving control to new partners taking such action. You dont own the company after working 25 years fact. So many of these stories show entitlement. If you had a decent salary based on your worth then that is the best you can expect.

There are always people in every business who will do what to convince the "powers that be" that a certain person needs to be ousted from their role in a Company. However, "the Powers that be" need be cautious about rumours and check the facts before blindly going ahead and removing such a person from their role in the Company. That very same person and their human relations toward clients, are crucial enough to keep clients supporting the company. Bear in mind that those clients will quite easily move with their preferred employee who dealt with them in an honest and concerning manner. You want to save your business from a downturn, check your facts before you leap/

I love he voice❤

🔥 25 years of loyalty, then fired like nothing… But karma always finds its way! Do you think the boss deserved this outcome, or was there a better way to handle it? Let’s hear your thoughts! 👇💬

Problem having a date in a story is that years go by. The story is outdated. In this story she been on the job since 1998 and she says she has been there 25 years. That would be 2023. We are in 2025.

The Harvest is a good restaurant in Cambridge's Harvard Square.

I hate this story!

It's a fake story it's not real

This is a made up story. Reusing character names even.

Amazing
