Entitled Karen Coworker Insists Woman's Out of Work Commitments Are Less Important Than Her Children

This woman was asked by her Karen coworker to cover an evening call for her. Karen's son had a soccer game that she wanted to attend and she was getting desperate.

The woman, who has since deleted the post so we are unable to get her username, responded that she was unable to cover the call for Karen as she had plans already. She had a volleyball game to attend that she was partaking in. Further, she had already covered the last two evening calls and it was well past Karen's turn to cover for her.

Karen immediately took offense. Since, clearly, her children were more important than our poster's personal life.

Karen has since proceeded to spread gossip around the office regarding her coworker's refusal to cover the call. The woman is worried that others in the office might be taking Karen's side and is wondering if she has done something wrong.

Sounds to me like she's just working in an office FULL of Karens.

For more Karens doing Karen things. Check out this one that complained to her workplace facilities manager that her keycard wasn't working, when it was working perfectly fine. He retaliated by revoking her access.

AITA for telling my coworker that my personal out-of-work activities are as important as her kids'?

Pissed me off when I was single and newly married. Like, if I don't have my contractual time off, when am I supposed to start one?

I took my first vacation last week in two years, and on my return this morning one of my non-friend coworkers messaged me and was like what could you possibly do for a week and a half with no kids at home.
Like dude, I have dogs to go out with. Books to read. Reddit to argue on. Naps to take. Sims to control. And a pandemic to hide from.

Also, people have commitments without kids. Having kids isn't the automatic out. NTA

It should be a rotation.

This. Your decision to have kids does not mean that you are entitled to my time.
