Man says his boss refused to pay him what he was worth. Then he built a competing business, and put his boss out of business

A man has claimed that after years of working for a small business, he secretly built a competing company and poached every single client from his employer after growing frustrated with how he was being treated. The story, shared on Reddit, describes how the man said he went from a long-time loyal employee to a direct competitor, and ultimately, the reason the business shut down.

According to the Reddit post, the man began working for the small business as a teenager under an owner named Steve. He claimed that over the years, he built a strong reputation in the field and became what he described as an integral part of the company, eventually reaching a senior role and expecting to be next in line to take it over.
