Working for a rich boss does not mean you also have to work for his entitled nepo baby son!

These construction workers were tasked with working on a site for a fancy hotel owned by a relatively kind, albeit clueless man. We say that he was oblivious because he seemed completely unaware of the fact that when his entitled son occasionally took over for him, he got on a high horse and demanded far more than what the construction workers' job actually was. He made them fetch coffee for him and essentially treated them as if they were his personal assistants. He also scheduled a series of unnecessary meetings that only wasted more time but made him feel important in the process. Sounds like a classic nepo baby to us!

    Now, this new bathroom was not located in an obvious spot within the complex of the hotel. So the son and his dad comes round again for a visit. The son, being a as usual demands total d[ another meeting. Before he does,

    asks where the bathroom is an I say we're awaiting new porta potties to be delivered. The guys find it hilarious and are sure to drag the meeting out as long as possible. Not one of them told him we actually had a bathroom.
