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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
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
Bad timing
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
It's a coup!
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
Toxic workplace goals!
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
How very dare you?
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
How the turntables turn
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'm starting to wonder if he down played his bullying. And also what happened. Look at it, the CEO refused to interview him, then had to call security? Doesn't that make it seem like the OP was refusing to leave to the point that security had to come in? Besides, he made fun of the CEO all the time. Who knows how traumatic the bullying was. I can forgive some things, but others do not deserve forgiveness, no matter what age I am and how old we were at the time. You wouldn't tell someone part of a crime to "get over it" would you? Sometimes bullies go into the realm of illegal, but since they're not of age or because the one being bullied doesn't know any better or is too scared. What the bully doesn't realize is that his ass should probably be sitting in jail, or have a record of some sort. Defamation is something you can sue over. Most bullies defame the person they're bullying.

Haha, shame. You deserved it. Asshole.

I don't think it's a complete YDI. I've bullied, and I've been bullied. I know how it feels like on both sides. We do stupid, mean things as kids, that's a given. That doesn't make it excusable, but people need to learn and understand that fact. It's depends on when this occurred. If it happened in high school or earlier (and assuming he is in at least his thirties), the CEO is being pathetic. I don't want the girl whose name I can barely remember completely screw me over for something that happened in seventh grade, nor will I hold it against the girl who made me feel like crap for the majority of my high school career. Because after a while, you have to let things go. I'm not saying the CEO should have hired the OP, but having security drag him out over what happened years ago is a bit excessive. Being bullied can be mentally scarring if you're letting it be. Ultimately, you're letting the bully win if you're still hellbent on revenge years later. Like someone said, both were being kids, but only one actually grew up. Still, that doesn't making bullying in school excusable. Now if this happened during college, then this is totally different. The wounds are much fresher.

i personally think nerdy guys are sexy! I'll take brains over muscle any day. nerdy guys are nicer and know how to treat a lady. the jocks usually grow up be even bigger assholes.

he had every right to kick his ass out of the building. the CEO knew from personal expierence that the OP was an anti social bully, and does not need to put his other employees at risk to his bullying behavior. bullies almost never change.

2 wrongs don't make a right. When you fight fire with fire, you get more fire. Etcetera, etceteras. This CEO is an ABSOLUTE DOUCHE. Although, it does prove a point, that the bully was applying to a job where the bullied person is the superior.

Are you telling me that a 31 year old man would act exactly the same as he did when he was 13? In this situation it seems that it's the person who was bullied who never changes.

Unless it was constant beatings everyday then no, I haven't been or seen anyone who's been bullied. I do, however, know that people can change and getting revenge 15 years later for something trivial as getting books knocked out of their hand is just stupid. The CEO didn't have to hire him but he sure as hell didn't have to get security to throw him out.

Well YDI for being an asshole. The CEO probably kicked him out because he knew exactly the kind of person the OP was. Why would he invite someone who tortured him back into his life instead of the other people who applied.?

Yes a 31yr old can and will revert to bullying behavior if he/she is in a position of power at their workplace. I work in the human resources dept at a very large hospital and have to deal with workplace bullying cases often. and trust me, even one bully in the environment can stall productivity. It continues after highschool and into the work place. One would think people grow out of it, but they don't.

YDI for making fun of the CEO.

I had a woman HR person go through the employee handbook with me on my first day on the job. When she got to the section on workplace conflicts, she skipped over that and said they don't have many women at that company so it's not a problem there.

You're nothing but a big douche. You didn't like being bullied, yet now you are a bully. Fear is not respect. You're obviously not smart enough to comprehend the difference. You'll get yours when you go to high school. I hope. I really hope.
