The Game's Up!
"Sent them to the feds for Medicare fraud and they got fined 41.7 mil."
"This issue was important to me because the physicians were actively charting that their patients were at high risk for drug abuse, which was not the case."
"They'd drug test every patient every month who were prescribed opiates."
"The standard for high risk is based on the ORT, which lists things like requested early prescriptions (taking too much meds), prior negative test (likely selling on the street), etc."
"This company used stupid criteria, including but not limited to, drinking caffeinated beverages, being a current or former smoker, to place a patient in the high-risk category."
"All I could think of was how this would impact patients if they were to apply for a job with a need for over-the-top security clearance, or the patient who got in a fender bender and was on pain meds for a month, then ended up in a nasty divorce where their medical records were subpoenaed."
"This kind of sh*t wrecks people's lives, and for what?"

"So I reported her to compliance for attempting to make an hourly staff engage in company business while off the clock and reported her to USDOL wage and hour division."
"She eventually got fired."
"And I got paid for the hours I was sent home."
"At that point, I didn't give a sh*t."
"They pissed me off, they were potentially ruining people's lives with the chart records, and I was being bullied by my employer."
"So I just started firing off chart notes from my desk."
"They eventually locked me out of the system, but by then I'd already found another job and knew I'd sent enough to bury them."
"If faced with the same sh*t again, I'd proceed the exact same way."
"As much as I'd like to have received a cut, at the end of the day I probably helped some patients avoid all kinds of disaster."

It's always a good idea to stay professional and keep your cool while at work.
But when you're no longer under their employ, nothing should stop you from letting your true feelings be known about a horrible, incompetent, possibly dangerous boss.
So one Reddit user wanted to know:
How do you say "f*ck you" politely?
We are going to put these into effect immediately, because we have some serious "per my previous email" energy going on towards certain people right now (looking at you, neighbor with the pressure washer) and we really need to get it off our chest.
The Ultimate "Apology"
GiphyYou can up the ante with "I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way" like you aren't even sorry they feel that way, you're just sorry that you have to hear about it.
"This is what I say when I just really want someone to hate me."
Not My Problem
I must that admit that although I never found the balls or the situation to actually say that to someone I keep "That sounds like a you problem" as a mantra in my mind at times.
I hate "that sounds like a you problem."
Well no crap Sherlock, you're making MY life miserable, not yours.
Backhanded
"I admire you. You don't let your shortcomings get in the way of your confidence."
Honestly, I thought this was a compliment at first. This is a backhand compliment beyond compare.
So backhanded it was a roundhouse kick.

Per
"Per my last email..."
I always read that as "B*tch, can you read?"
You Deserve It
One of my bosses likes to say "I hope you have the day you deserve" to rude or sh*tty people.
I was involved in a near-miss at work because this woman was using her phone while she was driving. She walked into the Control Room and said "One of your security guards nearly hit me, tell him I'm sorry" and then made a big thing of mentioning it every time I saw her.
"Oh, I think you're the guy I pulled out in front of, I had a momentary lapse of concentration..."
So when she was leaving and everyone signed her card, I wrote "I hope your new job is everything you deserve!"
The Christian Version
GiphyI love the Christian version of this. "I'll pray for you"
God, I think i'd feel more respected if someone dissed my mom for 15 minutes straight then if a "christian" said that sh*t to me.
Input
"Thank you for your input."

Funny story- I was the only woman at an assessment centre out of 10 candidates. There were multiple centres on different days and there were 20 positions available. Roughly 380 candidates at assessment overall.
In our group exercise you could almost feel the testosterone coming from these banker-type guys. For 20 minutes of this 45 minute exercise two of them just would not shut up and let anyone get a word in edgeways... anyway we finally get on to the task and it's the whole 'you all have 1 project, defend your project and why it should be funded' and we all agree mine is the most beneficial for this imaginary community. These two guys start to try and debate it again at which point (don't know what possessed me) I come out with the words "Thank you for your continued input gentlemen. If nobody has any relevant points I suggest we conclude now".
I got the job. Those two twats did not
They Say
"With all due respect, you are as they all say you are."
This line is bound to f*ck anyone up.

"Oh bless your HEART!"
Source: Southern
Normally used as "bless her/his heart" when totally not talking sh!t about others but a direct "bless your heart" can be extremely effective too if you nail the sickening sing song sweet tone.
Governor Asa Hutchinson said this to my mom like two years ago. She's still mad about it.
