Karen Shreds Employee's Leave Requests

Oh boy, the audacity of this Karen is unfathomable. What kind of human being literally takes it upon themselves to shred employees' leave requests? Nobody that's worth having around in the workplace. That's who. As you can imagine, Karen's shady "business practices" ended up coming back to be her ultimate undoing in the end. For another wild Karen story, check out this tale about a salon Karen who argued her way into a new Karen haircut.

    Font - agency. It's a job where you support 4-6 people with disabilities who share the accommodation. Its shift work, 2 clients per staff member during the day, 1 staff member on a "sleep over" at night. The rosters are 4 week rotating rosters. I was employed as a 0.75 meaning I work 75% of what is considered full time (equating to 57 hours a fortnight). Working shifts sucked, but the pay was good. I was working in a house l'll call sunup. Sunup had 4 residents and 7 workers. Each house had a ho

    Smile - By company policy, leave requests are "first in best dressed" meaning you need to put your leave in early to ensure you get it. I was transferred to sunup from a 6 client house due to my qualifications and situations I cannot legally disclose. I worked for the first year, got to know staff, clients, house supervisor etc.

    Font - There was an obvious "clique" between 4 staff members, each school holidays, 3 would apply for leave, and one would call in sick with a medical certificate covering the same amount of time. They would always rotate who is "sick" to hide what they were up to. (They were friends outside of work who would party together) After a year, the house supervisor fell sick. One of the Clique members "Karen" was appointment acting supervisor and it went to hell. She tried reducing my hours and giving

In March I checked the leave calendar for the June school holidays (each house had a leave calendar so management and staff can check who scheduled leave is) it's was empty. I submitted leave again and it was rejected, Karen said “sorry, You were too slow, Karen said that A,B &C (clique) already submitted le

    Font - In May I checked xmas leave calendar, put in my leave and sure enough, got the same result. This annoyed me as I have a family that I wanted to take on holiday. I spoke to the cluster manager (also a part of the clique) who said there nothing I can do. Note, I had no leave taken in 2 years. January the following year, the clique was on holiday, we had a gastro outbreak across our facilities so we were short staff. All available staff (including CEO) were covering shifts. I was rostered on

CEO, "let's lock in your leave now" Me "ok, how about 4 weeks over Xmas" I filled out the form, CEO signed it off. He filled out the leave calendar and put my application in Karen's pigin hole.

    Font - I was on sleep over that night so I took my application, photo copied it for my self and replaced under the mountain of paperwork in her pigin hole knowing she wouldn't see it for a few months. In March I checked the leave calendar, I noticed my Xmas leave disappeared replaced with Karen, A,B & C. I didn't say anything as I had a leave form with CEO's signature. Fast forward October, original house supervisor passed away, acting supervisor was appointed permeant supervisor by the cluster

    Font - Me: "on leave" Karen "I didn't approve any leave, get your ass to work now" I come in, Karen chews me out stating she didn't get an application form, even if I submitted it she would reject it as you should know by now that we always take two weeks in December/January". She wrote me up for insubordination. I worked that shift, when Karen left I emailed the CEO filling him in on what happened. He called a meeting me and Karen.

    Font - CEO, "OP is on leave l'm going to sunup and I'm investigating this situation. OP, my apologies go home, I'm extending your leave by an extra week" I go home. I come in 4.5 weeks later to be told that Karen has lost her promotion, she is thin ice. CEO found out that Karen has been rejecting leave requests. She shredded my request without looking past the date. She deleted my leave from the calendar. The CEO told Karen that this borders on fraud. The CEO also separated the "Clique" to diffe
