Anybody ever successfully get their client fired? (intentionally or unintentionally) Not fire them as a client but for them to lose their job. I'm so fed up with the workplace harassment, aggressive and abusive behavior towards my team that I want to just completely report this behavior to client HR. Have all these examples well documented, just wondering if this is a better path to go down... Can't stand to work with this insecure grifter anymore.

Yes, twice. Once for basically highlighting his incompetence and the other for discovering that he had doctored documents.

To clarify, this was not through me personally reporting anything to HR

Once, early in my career.

Long story short, misandrist client who harassed me almost daily during a ~1.5 year implementation. My female VP at the time effectively shrugged it off, but when she was replaced for unrelated reasons, the replacement male VP heard about it and within a week escalated it to client HR and said either she went or my company would immediately drop all contracts with them. The client was forced into early retirement a few weeks later.

Is your P aware of this? Good that you have it all documented, but not sure how it looks if you went directly to client HR?

I did. But I almost got fired in the process. Actually, I did get fired, but not right away, they made sure enough time had passed that it didn't look like retaliation. Also my situation was not a sexual harassment situation, although the person did have inappropriate anger outbursts and behavior. In my situation it was more about ethics and reporting controls and they were just steamrolling the team with bs stuff that didn't meet the threshold for reasonable management reliance. I got bullied by everyone, but eventually that guy got fired.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
