When you work with Karens, it’s essential to be smart enough for the situation. Some toxic employees will try their best so that others won’t get ahead or have any reputation left–they’re just bitching about everything in general and taking up space! People need to keep an eye out on anyone like this because if not appropriately handled, things could end badly for everyone involved; meanwhile, only ourselves suffer when one person doesn’t behave.
Today, we have a pro revenge story of a Facility Manager (u/ImThe1Wh0) who has an entitled Karen at his job. Of course, this Karen always complains and bitch about everything. But this facility manager knew exactly how to put this Karen in her place. He did something that made his boss laugh and gave him air-high fives, which is an excellent way of dealing with entitled people like her (Karen).

6. Be careful what you wish for.
7. People are pleased when they witness a Karen takedown.
8. Karen lied to put the facility manager’s job in jeopardy in front of his boss.
9. OP said everything with a grin on his face as if it were a joke.
Some have advised OP to “be cautious,” as Karen can influence anything. She might quickly transform it into bullying, harassment, or any other form of retaliation to exact her revenge. On the other hand, OP is astute and knows how to handle the situation. It’s amusing how her complaint backfired on her. Something like that would have never occurred to her.
