as someone who is an amateur cake baker, I'd like to say how incredibly impressed I am with the lady in the first story. Getting everything perfect so that after baking, the cake is down to the exact gram weight is almost impossible. The weight changes slightly during baking. Not really enough to matter, but it would register on a scale.
I agree, but it sounds like she corrected any variation by using the icing and decorations. The *final* weight after decoration was exact down to the gram, but she did say that she was "scraping off ganache." I imagine that she did the last few grams of icing with the cake on the scale. ☺️
I ran a PC repair business pre-Covid (since moved on to IT support for small businesses). The amount of Karens that I had to deal with...one, especially, dropped the "Never coming back" bomb and it was the happiest day of my life. (Her brat was trying to become a streamer on ass internet. Told them day one that it wasn't me or the machine. 10 visits later, and I charged them every time. Had to go to small claims for non-payment and bounced/cancelled cheques)
Ugh, manager Gary. I hate the jobs where "looking busy" is more important than actually being productive. I always felt way less productive pretending I'm doing things for ten minutes than actually resting and checking my phone and waiting for the next real task to pop up
I remember when I used to work at this one job and that was their saying. But they weren't this strict about it. I hardly even had to be reminded about it
I used to have a part time job where they had this rule.... really annoying cleaning the same countertop 100 times a day... and I never understood it... when I walk in somewhere as a customer and see employees just chilling or chatting I think nothing of it... as long as they stop when the customer needs them, of course...
I used to work in a Catholic school and doing busy work was the only way to get a break from my boss. The only time I got actual work done was when she was out b/c she thought seeing me working on the computer was goofing off.
In the mind of a Karen, professional courtesy actually means "don't question me and give me whatever I want regardless of what trouble it may cause you (and employer if applicable)"
"The company" tied its own noose. I don't believe that the antagonists of that story would struggle to find new employment with their pay and status intact, just absolutely ruining the work environment for their peers and subordinates.
@@thedudethathates same. Moms a Karen most of the time but she has her moments of kindness. She one of those people who are “happy” all the time and gets angered if you don’t have a huge smile all the time
One thing which the company didn't realize since they kept obfuscating, is if they get extremely low performance ratings, the next time they apply for a contract means a different company is most likely to get the contract. Poor performance always goes into the files and is used as one of the criterion for selecting a company to perform the work.
@@llnn1238 Why is justified rage a bad thing? Even Jesus got pissed off once or twice. That's like saying a person should be in therapy because they cried at a funeral.
Too much like state government departments. And when tasked with reducing costs, the upper brass always fires the worker bees, not the self-important managers. Work output always suffers.
@@qc1l Did they change that line in some later edition of the movie? I remember that part as "Hey, I saved your life!" and then he responds with "You didn't save my life, you ruined my death! That's what you did!"
Gary might be an ass, but he can be commended for one thing though: unlike a lot of others in his position, he put his hands where his mouth was and was ready to do himself what he had tasked her to do.
Only because NO ONE ELSE WAS AVAILABLE TO DO IT. All the other servers were doing their jobs to serve customers, and Gary was concerned about LEAVES AND SEEDS!
“If you have time to lean - you have time to clean!” managers like Gary don’t teach workers how to BE more productive; they teach you how to always LOOK busy. Big difference. Idk about you but I think it’s probably better someone does their actual work well, versus doing hours of unnecessary busywork halfway...
I never celebrated my 16th birthday, so hearing the first story made me feel kinda glad I didn't celebrate since I do have 3 aunts (and most of their children) that are total jerks and would probably do something similar to that. Not to mention they hate my dad.
Wouldn't be the first time a "Karen" ruined the party and it's not going to be the last the reason I put air quotes around Karen is so I don't actually offend anybody that might have that for their real name
Just hearing that last story was priceless and I could actually see the evil grin on OP’s face and for the first story my mom does baking as well but not as much as she used to back when I was little
The 16 year old girl: "dealing with entitled aunt" Me when I was 16: "dealing with drunk adults and drunk entitled aunt, while trying to break apart fighting" I wish I had your situation
"if you have time to lean you have time to clean" I HATED managers like that. I've heard that before. When business is slow and everything is done. Gah find work.
Actually, even for same weight, having a custom order should have make it more expensive, since that means more works than usual, and could be more materials too... Also, OP should have offered "no refund, take it or leave it".
from the third story: " I would put on an evil grin and see my managers freak out hoping i dont tell them their secrets of course i didnt i just loved watching them squirm " bruh criminal logic

@14:12 Having a heart attack at 42 is chiefly genetic, and not environmental, so while that may have happened, the storyteller is bullshitting of the cause.
I feel that frustration with the whole "staying busy" story. That's literally my job rn, I work custodial in a school administration building splitting between their building and the IT Support building around the corner (I walk back and forth to clean both areas). Used to be I'd split my 8 hour shifts to four hours in each building, but then I was told I had to spend minimum of five fours in Admin. But both buildings are small and I can actually complete all the work in two hours for either before having to take lunch or go around for trash check. Just last Monday I received a write-up warning because someone in Admin had told my offsite supervisor I was sitting in my closet in the dark too much, I only shut the light off in there when I leave to take lunch. I take my permitted 15 minute breaks in the closet to avoid the underlying pressure of needing to stay busy when I'm supposed to be resting. What's more, I'm at this location for light duty with a shoulder injury! But they dont approve of me taking three seconds to rest it after polishing the frames of all the pictures in the hallways for the fourth time
Back in my home town the theater owner use to pay his employee's to help do various things in the community with, just to help give them a better wage coming from a small town.
just saying the saying "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean." is a very common saying in the foodservice industry, all restaurants that I have worked in had that saying,
When I was 16 the store manager of a Burger king forced me to stand inside a dumpster and scrub it clean with harsh dangerous chemicals with no protective gear .. it was summer... It was 112 degrees out and I did this in a metal dumpster... No shade... For over 90 mins covered in who knows what and chemicals that caused burning and redness to my skin. That's only one of literally dozens messed up things I experienced there.
I come from an area where maple trees are ubiquitous. I miss them, actually, because of the beauty of their leaves in the fall as they turn, the ease of climbing them(in my distant youth), and the smell! But anyone who is familiar with maples HATES the falling leaves, the helicopter seed pods(which float down in delightful patterns) are EVERYWHERE! It's almost as if the trees spawn them as they are dropping them!
Lol when you said that 16 years is a milestone for young girls, I thought to myself why is aging a milestone also just imagine that aunt saying that the cake was not 1lb and that the cake maker scammed her and all that while the others ignored her and were singing happy Birthday and eating the cake.
Wow... He realizes that? So he is not that bad. My manager was really angry with me that I did exactly what was told and I was fired for being such a "smart ass" (or something like that xP ). Even though I was already doing the job that I was not hired for. I work in small hotel with golf field as receptionist: I booked rooms and all and also booked golf time slots (or how it is called, dunno) - that was my job, that was in my contract. But my manager was not happy that sometimes I sat doing "nothing" for an hour, so he started giving me additional tasks - the one's that I was not paid for even though I had to stay longer than my shift to end them properly. I had to sweep and mop the floors, do laundry, do dishes, help in the kitchen, make drinks for guests... And I did what I was told, exactly as I was told. I had to do the dishes before I go back to reception desk? Fine, the guests who want to rent the room had to wait - I can't leave the kitchen until I am done with my job. They actually were understaffed but were to cheap to hire more people - even though they could. The job offer still stands, after 6 years - they still didn't find their perfect Cinderella.
As a kid, I worked at a fast food place that had one of those "I have to see everyone working furiously every second!" managers. When every task on the duty sheet had been completed (sometimes twice), she would assign workers to go out and water the parking lot. Yes, you read that correctly. She would have employees drag a big garden hose out to the parking lot and just water down the pavement. It was summer, so the water would evaporate almost immediately, leaving the lot looking no different. So we'd have to do it again. I did not stay there long.
