I'm a firm believer in Karma.
A long time ago hubby got a call at night, past our bed time. <hubby and I were both unemployed at the time, mid 80s in the oil biz> It was from a guy he used to work with (also not working) telling him about an interview he had and he was offered the job (after hubby was all but told he had it) and should he take it, it's out of town, etc, etc,etc.
These guys never talked and now we get a call late at night? Sure he wanted advice! Gloating was more like it.
Fast forward a few years. In the meantime hubby went to work for a brand-new startup. Startup grew and grew, buying creeps company.
Who's the boss now? Not the creep. There was an instant about-face to major tail kissing.....
