Update: Workplace escape room debacle pits boss against his 29-year-old employee: 'Should I have let us fail to spare his ego?'

This boss isn't being a problem solver! Just ask his employees, who had to watch him fail at an escape room in the most embarrassing way possible. 

Doing an escape room with your coworkers is honestly a great idea. It involves problem-solving while being an entertaining way to spend an hour. Unlike a work happy hour or holiday party, there's no expectation to drink or spend time talking to your long-winded coworkers. Instead, you just try to solve a series of fun puzzles to escape a locked room. It promotes teamwork and thinking on your feet, so why not make it a workplace excursion? 

Well, as this person shared, her boss is a real sore loser. For some reason, he can't seem to let go of how the workplace escape room experience went. He seems like a Michael Scott type of boss: he plans fun things, then ruins it with his own ego. What's so bad about losing an escape room anyway? It's just a game, which is apparently a lesson this boss has never learned in his 42 years of life. Check out the full story plus two updates below.
