'My boss said upgrade him if there is room, so I made sure there wasn't' : Flight attendant maliciously complies with boss, upgrading 5 random passengers to business class, revoking rude passenger's free upgrade

Flight attendants see the good, the bad, and the ugly. To be fair, anyone working in the service industry gets access to the entitled side of the world. This employee was working as a flight attendant at a regional airline and had enough of her usual, disgruntling encounters with a rude, entitled traveler who happened to have ties to her boss, VP Karen. One day he arrived, pompous as ever, demanding to be upgraded to business class. He didn't have a coupon, which was necessary in order to receive said upgrade, so she turned him down.

Sure enough, not two minutes later, she received a call from VP Karen, who told her, 'If there is room, upgrade him'. Begrudgingly, OP did as she was told, until she was struck with a genius idea… technically, VP had said 'if there is room'… meaning, OP had some spaces to fill, and she needed to fill them fast. By the time she was done, she made sure that this bad-mannered passenger would not be upgraded, because, after all, there was no room.
