'News of Shannon's self-firing raced through the building': Assistant director investigates 'untouchable' employee's performance

Imagine working hard all day, only to watch your boss goof off the entire time. That's what this employee had to deal with with their boss Shannon, who believed she was above everyone else at her job.

Shannon had an ideal workday. As OP writes, Shannon spent most of her days slipping out of the office for "meetings." These weren't actual meetings spent with clients or colleagues, discussing strategy or planning for the future. No, instead, Shannon spent her time grabbing long lunches with her friends, sipping coffees, and maybe even doing a bit of shopping, all while getting paid for it. At the same time, that never stopped Shannon from bothering her staffers.

The OP writes that these habits made Shannon highly disliked, and who could blame the OP for that? It sounds like a dream job to goof off all day and never risk losing your job over it. But for all of Shannon's colleagues, I can imagine their patience wore thin quickly. I suppose if you go your whole life being an 'untouchable' person, you quickly get used to the privileges that are available to only you.

Check out the entire story below. After that, these workers shared the funniest examples they've ever seen of their coworkers who are a bit technologically challenged.
