   Despite 9 years of loyalty & going above & beyond, the company made me redundant. Didn't take long for them to realise this was a mistake as I'm the only person who knows how to fix problems with their in-house systems. I now charge them £300 an hour to go in and fix their shit.

     @fesshole More companies have been put out of business by bad management than all other reasons combined.

     Reminds me of employers that would downsize people (often older) with the idea of hiring in a cheaper replacement, only to discover that the one person actually did three different jobs...so they ended up having to hire three people to replace them...

     Good on you, finally getting paid closer to what you're worth!
