'[I called] her fake quitting bluff': Karen threatens to quit, coworker throws impromptu retirement party, forcing her to actually resign

Always be careful with what you tell your coworkers, especially if you're the office Karen. Even a small ounce of self-awareness would lead this office Karen (whose actual name is Agnes… even better) to realize that if she keeps threatening to quit, the concept of leaving will soon become a dangling carrot for everyone else. Eventually, her fake quitting shenanigans caught up with her, and one coworker decided to call her out.

Well, they didn't exactly call her out. Instead, they informed everyone else in the office so they could throw an impromptu retirement party that day. It's the perfect form of petty revenge because it's all under the guise of gratitude and generosity. By the end of the day, practically everyone had congratulated Agnes on her retirement that she basically had no choice but to actually resign. Her coworker shared their side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and folks in the comments were quick to give the original poster their flowers for their expert thinking.
