'She HAD to maintain her dominance in the workplace': Office tyrant tries to sweep her own mistakes under the rug, her team gets her fired

People on power trips are just asking to make enemies in the workplace. Nine times out of ten, it is almost always easier to just be kind. To those of you who have previously fallen privy to the psychological effects of being in a position of power within the workplace hierarchy, do not doubt that everyone around you knows that you're in charge. There is no need to assert your authority any further when everyone already knows. It's not only redundant, but it's a waste of time, energy, and often resources as well.

This office tyrant couldn't bear to see her assistant have a nicer tech setup than she did, and therefore ordered the tech department to build a better setup for her and then had the company pay for it. Unfortunately, this power trip only scratches the surface of what Susannah (who could also be named Karen at this point) tried to pull off. When an important presentation was scheduled that this Redditor needed to attend, Susannah insisted that OP restock supplies instead, which led to a confrontation with her regional manager. After she made a scene, she officially made enemies with the exact folks she should want to be loyal to her. Keep scrolling below to see what happened next and how they got Susannah ousted.
