My entitled manager goes on a rampage and a power trip, telling everybody to come an hour

early for an event, demanding that we all need to listen to her because she's older and she

knows best. But as a result, no one sticks around, and she is forced to clean up this entire event

by herself. And I've never been more satisfied by a result in my life. Here's what happened.

So I used to work part-time for my university, running student events. Experience is the best

teacher. I'd participate in these events as a student, assisted in these events under someone

else as part of my scholarship, and as a staff member ran the events by myself. We had a new

college head who was much older, approximately 50 or 60 years old, while everyone else was in

their early 20s. And this is the entitled Karen of the story. She was the most pigheaded, arrogant

fool you can possibly imagine. And despite being new, she wouldn't sit back and observe how things

worked, or listen to those on our team who had been there for years. No matter what you told her,

when she announced something that wouldn't work, or would cause problems, the answer was always

the same. I'm older than you so I know best, and it wouldn't matter if it would take longer to do it.

It was her way or the highway. During the event planning, one look at the schedule told me that

she had not allocated the team properly, so I sent out an email to try and get this figured out.

I sent to her, ma'am, it's probably not a good idea, to have the whole team in an hour before

the event. Most of them will just be standing around doing nothing. The best plan is to get five or

so people in for setup, most of the team in for running the event itself, and then hold back another

three to four for cleanup. This entitled Karen responded to me by saying the following,

no, I want everyone in helping out equally an hour before the event. So I responded by explaining

that they're only meant to do two hours of work per event, and if you have them an hour early

for a two hour event, that'll end up being three hours. They'll all have to leave before cleanup.
