I've been trying to think this through (for myself)

Would it be okay (morally) to glitter bomb an old boss?

Background: New owners took over in May 2014, I left in Dec. My job title was never changed or spoken about, but I was the Front Desk Manager. The new owners, they changed rate (it was a hotel) on reservations that had already been booked (usually at $89, they changed it to $99). They offered me a $.34 raise to do their job (and that'd IF i only worked 40 hours, which it would have to be more). They overworked the housekeeping, were either never there or took vacations, so we'd have to fend for ourselves for change for the drawer. When issues came up, they did not take care of it. Also, tried to get away with not paying someone their check because they quit. And when I wrote a letter (it wasn't mean, just a matter of a fact, you didnt do this type) I was told to not mention any problems with any employees, just report to the manager, who would not do anything. Needless to say, I Severely dislike these people.

That known, would it be morally just?

No one gets hurt, glitter gets everywhere. An "innocent" may be forced to clean it up is the only problem I see.

My religion says to harm no one.. so am I in the clear? I know it's a bit petty, should I give it up?

I would like to hear the thoughts of the Subetans

Pretty sure the dude that started the glitter bombing has already sold the website and nobody is actually doing glitter bombing anymore. And all it was was an envelope full of glitter. There was no explosion involved in any way.

Just move on already. Crappy bosses happen all the time. You only make yourself look like the bad person by being so petty.

And this is not a debate

I'm actually really confused about this. From what I gather, you want to send your mean boss a card with glitter in it...but glitter generally has a good, celebratory connotation to it. It's kind of like saying 'wow, I hate you, but I bought you some chocolate!' It doesn't make sense (at least to me). I'd say don't do it simply based on the fact it makes no sense and would be a waste of your money and time. Also, don't burn bridges.

As far as your religion goes, no one here can really answer for your God on whether or not sending a glitter card would be considered sinful/unjust...but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you won't burn in the fiery pits of Hell for sending someone glitter. I'd consider it a prank, if anything. Not a harmful one, either.

If I were the boss I would probably be like... WTF? and die laughing. Because seriously... wtf? Is this kindergarten? No offense, but first time I hear something like this and it seems more like a silly April Fools prank to me.

I wouldn't bother. It doesn't sound like they're worth the time or miniscule amount of energy you'd spend on it. You could always post on hotels.com and other hotel sites, the truth about how the place is managed and how they randomly changed their rates. Then they'll lose business and that would be more harmful to the stupid boss-from-hell than some stupid glitter, lol. It would also help people steer away from what sounds like a crappy place and towards something better. I don't think it'd go against 'an harm ye none' either, as long as you're simply truthful about it, because it would also help people.

In my opinion, it sounds incredibly immature and petty. Trust me, I've had shitty bosses before and the best form of payback is to find a better job, be happy, and not think about them. I agree with about posting on hotels.com and other hotel websites and give them a poor review. It's more mature in the long run

I glitter-bombed a guy who tried to get my girlfriend at the time to cheat on me, as well as sleeps with everyone he possibly can get into the sack. I haven't heard anything about it, as it's only been a week since I ordered it, and it's shipping said 4-10 days, so I wait..... Anyways, it's the best $11 I've ever spent. By the way, do "double glitter." Totally worth the extra pocket change.

Honestly, I think sending them the Cards Against Humanity BS edition would be better than a glitter bomb. My only concern is that they could trace you one way or another if they're angry enough. By the looks of things anyway, it's likely that your old bosses will get their just desserts soon enough. After all, I doubt they can keep their employees for long. And they'll just end up losing too much money that they'll have to close the hotel down.

tl;dr, no, it's not morally wrong but I don't think it's worth the effort.

I must concur with ; I as well don't understand the revenge aspect in glitter. I mean we are talking about the shiny, frufru, girly pieces of confetti used in children's art projects right?

There are two important factors to consider here:

1.) As stated, no one can answer for your religion as to whether or not you'd be considered a sinner, but revenge in any form will only reflect on you as petty and immature. Not to mention dimwitted on the concept of revenge in this particular case, I mean glitter, really? I'm sorry, but I'd roll my eyes and laugh if I were on the receiving end of that.

2.) It's unhealthy to dwell on the past.

So I say Just suck it up and move on. The only effective, non-petty type of revenge would be to do better than what this boss offered you.
