‘If only I could fire you!’: Public service employee's epic response leaves Karen client speechless and company in tears

Working in customer service is never an easy task. The individuals you spend time with have a big impact on your day. Therefore, your everyday activities and troubles vary as you have no control over who comes knocking on your door.

A few weeks back, the original poster (OP) was met with an unexpected request. He was instructed to handle Karen, a challenging client, in any way he saw fit, provided he could ensure the client stopped pestering them. Following careful consideration of the legality of his actions and their potential ramifications, OP decided to compose a comprehensive letter that addressed all of Karen's worries. Although it is highly entertaining for the management team and the audience at large, I believe I can state with certainty that the letter does not adhere to the office decorum that we have all come to know and loathe.

That being said, if you're curious about the exact contents of the letter as well as whether OP was able to permanently get Karen off their back, make sure to read the story below! When you're finished, don't forget to read the story of the candidate for a job who was rejected because he appeared 'too desperate' in the interview!
