Listen, we're all about working to live and not living to work. So if there is a way to do your job and live your dream, then we say do it. But if you're just sitting at work wasting everyone's time, then like, come dude. That's just laziness. However, here we find a Karen supervisor taking this "time theft" thing way too far. Luckily, she was the only one doing that and she felt the consequences. She was supervising a group of workers at a factory. She showed favoritism to a particular couple, but hated on everyone else. She would make their work day as difficult as possible. Finally, when one asked to go use the restroom, she blew up at all of them and sent them in to have a meeting with the company ceo, plant manger, and HR. However, after just a few questions, the higher ups realized this woman was just trying to flex her ego and was power hungry. They sent the employees accused of "time theft" back to work and called in the manager. They never saw her again, it would appear she was the one actually wasting everyone's time and she got fired because of it.

  • In the manager's office I was told that she said that I deliberately used the wrong nails, ruining a couple of flanges.

  • Then she looked at the next guy and told him, "you go too." Then to the next guy, "and you!" Then she looked at me, "and you go too!!"

  • We all wound up in the office with the plant manager, the personal manager, the floor manager and the HR guy.

  • The plant manager, "Grace sent you all up here because she said that you guys are always asking to go to the bathroom between breaks, what do you say about it?

  • Mickey, "well, if I gotta go, I gotta go!" Kenneth, "same for me, I need to I'm gonna say so." Richard, "well, yeah, sometimes I need to."
    via nobodyin1961
  • Me. "well, there aren't any doors on the stalls (being a wood plant, they removed the doors to prevent smoking IN the bathroom) so I only go at break so I can have privacy while everyone else is outside smoking or eating."
    via nobodyin1961
  • Plant manager, "Grace says also that you guys smoke when you're going to the bathroom." Mickey, "well, the smoking area is right outside, by the bathroom door, so yeah, I'll step outside and take a quick couple of puffs."
    via nobodyin1961
  • Kenneth, "I'll admit, I will step outside and take a few drags." Richard, "yeah, I'll smoke a little while I'm there..." Me, "I don't smoke."

  • Hopefully, you enjoy your job and you don't mind dedicating most of your life to it. But whether you do or don't, you still have to remember you live your life and always prioritize your pursuit for happiness!

  • Plant manager, "what are you even doing up here?" Me, "Grace told me to come with them." Personnel manager, "ya'll go back to work."

  • On the way back to our work station we heard over the intercom, "Grace B., come to the office." Never saw her again.
