Many managers aren't known for being the most reasonable of individuals. Some of them get power hungry, and micromanage their staff into misery; others are so lackadaisical that they put workers at risk. At the very least, the average employee has had to endure being jerked around by their superiors one way or another.

However, most people haven't experienced the ordeal of their boss also being their catfish, as with @oliviafenton4. After experiencing a rollercoaster ride at her current workplace, she took to TikTok to tell her story.

The trouble started when her female supervisor insisted on setting her up with a male friend of hers, for a first date that never materialized multiple times — for increasingly outlandish reasons.

With people demanding more information, Olivia set the record straight.

Apparently, after speaking with HR it was revealed that her manager had done the same thing to another woman at a previous job, and she was let go from her role at the company. Olivia believed that part of the reason for her outrageous behavior was a struggle to come to terms with her sexuality. While that's no excuse for the way that she acted, here's hoping that she gets the help she needs.
