Manager at Small Company Teaches Tyrant New Boss a Lesson He’ll Never Forget — Story of the Day

When a new boss named Mr. Brecker arrived at the company, the staff hoped for the best. But he quickly turned out to be a nightmare—strict, rude, and dismissive, especially towards Kira, the hardworking manager. Instead of backing down, Kira decided to fight back, leading to a bold plan that would change everything. Kira moved around the office, adjusting chairs and straightening stacks of papers. She wanted everything to be perfect for the arrival of the new boss. As the manager, she felt it was her responsibility to set the right tone.

The air buzzed with uncertainty—no one in the office knew much about the new boss, only that he was a man. Kira hoped he would be reasonable, fair, and someone they could all work with. Michael, an employee who Kira often referred to as her protégé, entered the room. He reminded her of herself—hardworking and eager to learn.

“Hey, did you find out anything about the new boss yet?” he asked. Kira shook her head. “Nope. I don’t even know his name,” she said. Michael frowned. “Usually, there is some kind of introduction or announcement.”

“Yeah, it is strange,” Kira agreed. “Makes me a little nervous.” Michael smiled. “Well, if he’s even half as good a boss as you are, we’ll be in good hands.” “Don’t try to flatter me,” Kira said, though she was smiling too. “But I appreciate it.” “Come on, Kira. You know I’m just being honest,” Michael said before heading out the door. It was true, and that’s exactly why Kira liked Michael. He was only 22, yet he had a sharp mind and strong work ethic. Despite his age, he managed tasks with skill and confidence, often performing better than employees who had been there much longer.

When she first joined the company at 47, many doubted her. They thought she was too old to adapt, too set in her ways to lead. But Kira had proven them wrong. She worked hard, learned quickly, and earned respect. Over time, she built a team where everyone felt welcome and heard. Her office door was always open, just like her attitude. She made time for everyone, whether they were in sales, accounting, or part of the cleaning crew.

As Kira left the future boss’s office, she heard the familiar ding of the elevator. She straightened her posture and walked over, eager to greet him. The doors slid open, and a man, about her age, stepped out. “Hello, my name is Kira. I—” she started, stepping forward with a warm smile. But the man cut her off. “Call me Mr. Brecker,” he said. “I have a policy. Everyone addresses each other formally at work. No first names.” Kira blinked, a little thrown off. “Oh, well, we have a slightly different policy here. Most of us go by—”

“I don’t care,” he interrupted. “I’m the boss now. Things will be done my way.” He glanced around, then back at Kira. “And while you’re at it, make me a coffee. Black. No sugar.” “Actually, I’m not a secretary,” she said, keeping her voice steady. “I’m Kira—the manager.”
