Well, that is what she wanted, right? After a long stretch of bullying and threats, this employee finally called Karen on her word and got rid of her account. IT workers receive some ridiculous requests on a day-to-day basis, and that's when they're not even dealing with a malicious and absurdly demanding Karen.

There's that age old problem of being hired to do a job that works on a task by task basis, but you're still paid hourly, so half of your time is spent pretending to do your job just so management stays happy. These guys said screw that. For some funny IT stories, here are ridiculous requests IT workers received.
Someone on AskReddit got a wild thread going about the worst things that people's coworkers have done, without getting fired. Some folks seem to really defy completely reasonable expectations that we have about what people can get away with. It's honestly a wonder that some of these folks got the jobs in the first place.
Maybe the task is too difficult, or maybe you're just too difficult. "Not my job" moments encapsulate how the laziest among us deal with problems. These "solutions" may be majestically incompetent and ridiculously unprofessional "not my job" reactions to a hard task, but we can't say we haven't done similar things at some time in our lives.
Wow, this sounds like quite the fun and engaging way to run a meeting. Viviane Schwarz described how she'd grown tired of the infamous Zoom meeting format, so she and others that she worked with mixed it up by having meetings on Red Dead Redemption. We love it.
Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the weirdest and most outrageous stuff that escape room employees have seen. As it turns out, many of us are apt to do completely absurd, and entirely incorrect things when trying to escape a room. Shoutout to that one person who dug through tons of sand to dig out a wire, and then tried chewing through it. How could someone think that that was the move? Unreal.
There's always that one person at work who you're amazed hasn't been fired yet. Maybe they just haven't been caught by a manager yet, or maybe your boss just doesn't want to go through the process of hiring someone else. People have to deal with some horrible coworkers, but it's definitely interesting witnessing people who do not give a heck.
You meet a lot of interesting people in life, and you get to learn more about them if they're your coworkers. Sometimes you learn that people can be mindbogglingly lazy, mean, inconsiderate, or just impossible to be around. Sometimes for better or worse, people do not give a heck and in the workplace that can lead to some wonderfully unprofessional "not my job" moments. For some more work stuff, here are stories of people who worked smarter, not harder.
Usually embarrassing unmuted moments like this come from when someone is badmouthing the CEO, but this person was just being weird while eating food. Hopefully things end up okay. Sometimes we get ourselves into some embarrassing ad stupid situations, like this guy who thought a date was a job interview.
This woman took a truly nuclear revenge against a company that was up to all kinds of no good. The best part about this revenge, other than the fact that she brought justice to the company, was her added touch of subscribing everyone at the company to hundreds of different email alerts. She left the operation in complete and utter chaos.
Work in any field long enough and you'll see your fair share of wonderfully unprofessional "not my job" moments. There's slides that go right off buildings, misspelled signs and extremely lazy line painting, just to name a few. It makes you feel good about yourself to see people's majestically incompetent "not my job" moments.
This manager was power tripping all over the place. Fortunately, the employee was ready to take their revenge, and the manager's fraudulent practices end up being their ultimate undoing. We love a good revenge story where the manager gets what was coming to them in the end.
