Layoff Revenge!

RE: Your final day with us

You have fifteen minutes left before you leave the building after being fired. And there is one manager who deserves every second of them. For years, he has been holding you back: ignoring your suggestions, taking credit for your work, and giving performance reviews that never changed anything.

Coffee machines, wet floor signs, party supplies, a ping-pong table, and a cleaning closet nobody has opened since 2019. All of it can become a weapon if you are creative and petty enough.

Grease the hallway and see if the manager knows how to ice skate. Put something in his coffee and show him what the office bathroom is really for. Combine it all into ridiculous chains and make this bastard regret ever deciding to mess with you.

RE: Fill the RAGE meter

Every sabotage gives you a different number of points. Tweak the printer just a little, and a thousand pages will bury the manager’s desk. Simple, reliable, cheap. Ruin the coffee machine and get more. Replace the manager’s quarterly presentation with a bunch of stupid memes and hit the jackpot. It is your time and your choice how to spend it.

The moment a trap lands, you earn RAGE points. Chain sabotages together and the numbers get huge. Fifteen minutes is enough for either a pile of small pranks or a few massive ones.

RE: Keep suspicion low

Everyone else is still working here. And they keep noticing you. When you crouch by the coffee machine, loiter outside the manager’s door, hold a bottle of floor polish, and try to look like everything is completely normal.

Each coworker has their own suspicion level toward you. If it gets too high, your former coworker will go get the manager, and he will start looking for you.

Bribe the witnesses! A donut and a coffee are always a good solution. Keep them busy with figurines from the game room and get thirty glorious seconds where they could not care less about you.

RE: Go alone or bring a team of up to 4

You were not the only one who got a “happy” email today, so gather your accomplices and make the most of your 15 minutes.

Pass items to each other, cover for each other, send one player to work on the presentation while the rest keep the office distracted.

Get caught and the manager throws you out of the building. But a teammate can try to let you back in. Playing alone? Send a former coworker off on an errand and get to work while they are gone.

RE: And then there is the floor above

One manager is only a warm-up. Every floor you clear unlocks the next one, and the people up there are already better at their jobs. More observant coworkers, tighter offices. Managers who have already heard what happened downstairs and started taking countermeasures.

Keep climbing. At the very top of this building is a huge office. Inside sits someone who has never once in his life been held responsible for his actions. He is your main target.
