Like they were fired or sidelined, so they started their own business or swapped to a competitor and then put the screws to their old employer?
Is this something that only happens in movies?
In for stories.

Not making it big exactly.
Over here with medical things you usually visit a general health center, but if have a specific problem they can't help you with they are supposed to write a referral to a specialist. Thing is, many doctors are very stingy about doing this for some strange reason I have yet to understand. And specialists often times turn you down on their end as well. Had a doctor tell me he had been referring ppl to the only "fatigue" center here for years and they only accepted 1 person so far. So much for swedish welfare etc.
Anyways, this male nurse wouldn't even get referral from his doctor and had seen the problem play out many times, so started an app and got other professionals onboard to help patients get proper referrals done and send out at least. Not sure how it went with the business - just read about it some yrs ago. Hope he made it, even though money was not prime motivator.

Not spite per se but definitely many cases of consultants killing themselves to get to partnership track and then leaving and starting their own consultancy
Then selling their consultancy back to the OG firm for bank once their business reached scale and started stealing business from the OG firm lol

Well there's this story that was going around a while back. Not sure if it's true or made up but even if true, all of those guys would've had rich family backing them let's just be real here.

Well, in Boardwalk Empire Nelson Van Alden cheated on his wife and knocked up a crazy sloot, quit his Bureau of Internal Revenue job, changed his name to George Mueller, got bullied in his sales job and was told he wasn't gonna make it then he got hooked up with Al Capones crew, got the shits with the workplace shenanigans and killed the guys who razzed him up if that counts.

When Larry David was banned from Mocha Joe's coffee shop, he opened Latte Larry's next store, purely out of spite.

A girl's worst nightmare is seeing a man she left become better, richer and fitter and end up dating a better woman than her. Make her nightmare come true.
