And entitled Karen demands that I do her job every morning at the hotel that we work at,

0:04.8

claiming that if I didn't do exactly as she said, she would personally get me fired.

0:09.2

But after I refused to give in to this stupid Karen's demands, this Karen actually tried to get

0:13.9

me fired only for her to get fired herself.

0:16.5

And I've honestly never been happier to see somebody go in my life.

0:19.7

Here's what happened.

0:59.3

she didn't even manage her department. It was the sales manager that did the breakfast scheduling

1:03.6

and ordering, and the houseman was in charge of taking out the kitchen trash. So Bessie only had to

1:08.7

do half of her actual job on any given morning. Well, that is until I

1:12.6

showed up. The management company that owns the hotel hired me to run night audit at two of their

1:17.4

locations. And at no other hotel I've ever worked at in the last 19 years had night audits doing

1:23.2

anything like this. Most brands would have night audits make new coffee during the shift and maybe put out any of the breakfast to go bags. So I just run it like this. Most brands would have night audits make new coffee during the shift,
