'Ok, Karen, not a problem': Company's food manufacturing manager gets an extra $950 and ups revenue over 30% all because of a Karen email he received

Humans will be humans and one of the most human things you can do is make a mistake. We're not perfect and that's beautiful. Can you imagine if everyone was perfect??? That sounds so boring and uncreative. Some mistakes should be celebrated, while others should be condemned—both will teach valuable lessons. So when you are a human, working with other humans, then you should always expect mistakes. Hope they won't happen, but don't be naive and pretend like they're impossible. Unfortunately, ent…

Remember when us millennials were raised to think we could grow up to be anything we wanted? I clearly remember telling my kindergarten teacher that I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up and she totally fanned that flame—even though I was still struggling on spelling my own name… What a wondrous and magical time. Now, as an adult, you're attaching your resume to apply to…

'My coworkers and I had had enough': Employees switch creamers to get back at manager with lactose intolerance, sparks debate

At what point do you turn to petty revenge? Is it after someone's first offense of being annoying or entitled ? Or is it after you have already asked them once or twice to stop the offensive act?

'Forget it, you're fired!': Dude gets fired from a store where he didn't even work

It should be understood, at this point, that straying into a store with a uniform consisting solely of a specifically colored shirt—whilst wearing that same color of shirt—is a risky move. It should also be understood that even wearing a similar color shirt is likely to attract every Karen and disgruntled manager within a 100-meter radius. If you choose to do this, you do so at your own peril, but at least you can write a story about it later to share online. This guy happened to stray into a l…

'I WANT IT FOR THIS PRICE!': Entitled Karen gets epically put in her place after grocery store manager reads word-for-word the definition of a "unit price"

It's not easy working in customer service and don't let anyone trick into thinking it is. The actual work is not hard, anyone can learn it. But dealing with the customers… That takes skill! Especially when it comes to dealing with entitled Karen customers . This is the kind of customer who marches into the place like they are the king or queen or rules over it and then asks for the impossible and throws a tantrum when they can't get it. For example, a person on Reddit shared a story of an entit…
