I'd say yes. get sb back (ACT UNPLEASANTLY) phrasal verb (ALSO get back at sb ) INFORMAL to do something unpleasant to someone because they have done something unpleasant to you: I 'll get you back for this, just you wait! I think he's trying to get back at her for those remarks she made in the meeting.
