Today, I had a meeting with the CEO about a promising job with good pay and benefits. Upon meeting, we immediately recognized each other. He was someone I used to make fun of in school all the time. He responded by refusing to interview me and had security throw me out by force. Karma bites. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML
Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML
Today, I was at a big meeting at work. The CEO was reaming the hell out of us for our recent poor profits, when I accidentally let rip a vile fart. I was then subjected to a 10 minute tirade of abuse for "trying to be a funny man", and told that whatever small chance I had for a promotion is now gone. FML
Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. FML
Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I went to see a house for rent. The owner ended up being a person whom I denied renting to a long time ago, because I thought she was sketchy looking. Apparently she’s the CEO of a company now. She definitely recognized me and kicked me off the premises. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

I agree with someone (who I'm too lazy to scroll up and find again) who says that the OP is lucky that he got this-- Working for the guy would have been a worse punishment. The roles could easily be reversed.

Being a victim of severe bullying myself, something tells me that many of the people here saying "well, I stood up for myself" have never been bullied at all. Most bullying happens in groups...that is, the victim is all alone against several bullies. You don't have friends because at that age, nobody wants to be associated with you and the burden that comes with being bullied. There is no support for a victim of bullying, even when they try to fight back, it can be near impossible. They are typically going to get beat down by superior numbers pretty quick or will find that all of a sudden, the number of attackers that they are facing has just increased. I think the poster has learned a valuable lesson, if he hadn't already learned it. Maybe the OP should write an e-mail to this guy, apologizing for what he did. After all, from the sounds of it, you have a lot to apologize for.

Working for the guy would have been a punishment the OP voluntarily undertook. That little 13th Amendment thingy gives him the right to walk away from that job anytime he can. As long as he doesn't, he's saying that his life with the job is better than his life without the job, which means the CEO he picked on would be improving the OP's life, no matter how hard he tried to shit on it.

I was not seriously bullied in High School, but there were still pricks who gave me a terrible time. One of them has already apologized for it, but I've sworn up and down if I ever become like the CEO in this post, I'll humiliate the other bullies like they did to me and my friends, and have even thought about how nice it would be to be rich enough to buy their places of employment simply for the purpose of firing them. YDI just doesn't mean enough. I hope you realize what a waste of oxygen you are.

What the CEO did has a certain beauty to it. By hiring the Op and trerating him like shit, giving him crappy tasks, etc the CEO turns into a bully himself to get his revenge. However, by having security drag the Op out of the building the CEO leaves the Op feeling humiliated, ashamed, like an ass, and confused simply by having an undesireable person removed from his company.

Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

I've been the CEO in this situation. I've also been the woman getting hit on by the jerk that used to call me ugly in school. There is no greater feeling for someone who was tortured in school than to see the look on the other person's face when they figure out who you are, especially when they need a job or just went to great lengths to get your number.

"SucksToBeMe"? How dare you name yourself that after everything you deserved was pulled down upon you? You reap what you sow. Ah, the fairy tale of the nerd becoming a higher power than the bully has finally come true in my eyes. You suck, jackass! :]
