> That kid that you made fun of during the interview for not knowing some obscure feature from C could be buying your company in 10 years and you could end up working for him.
That actually more or less happened to me, my former boss worked for me for a bit. Great guy by the way, so it wasn't that he made fun of me, and as a boss he was pretty good too. I hope I was just as good a boss to him as he was for me.
The reverse also happened to me, a former employee struck it big and I did some contract work for him.
It really is a much smaller world than most people think and if you burn your bridges behind you or are nasty to people it will definitely come back to you. It may take a while, but it always does.
