Newly-promoted office worker treats new hire like her employee, new hire fills her voicemail with dozens of messages: 'She wanted me to do something that wasn’t my job'

This worker got a little taste of power and went completely overboard.

While some workplaces have clearly defined roles for every employee, a lot of places ask employees to wear many different hats. So, much like u/Jenny8765309, there's no way to politely say, "That's not my job," when someone asks you to do something that's most definitely not your responsibility. It's even harder when the person who's constantly asking for favors is in a position of power over you.

This worker shared the story of what happened when they worked with an office Karen. From the beginning, although this person was taking Karen's job as she moved up the ranks, she appeared bored by this job transition. Then, she started acting like she was the boss, and basically making this employee be her own personal secretary. Anything she didn't want to do became a job for the employee. Well, that can only last so long, as the employee warned: "Be careful what you ask for."

Check out the full story of workplace malicious compliance down below. Then, check out these people who have the absolute worst neighbors, like one person who fumed, "Entitled neighbor wasn't happy with my parking job, so they blocked me in."
