‘I checked the HR manual; I realized quickly Karen was lying’: Karen manager served malicious compliance on a plate by hungry employee

Managerial roles are not meant for everyone, yet somehow the most unfit people seem to land them anyway. It quickly becomes apparent when somebody is not a good fit to manage people, and in this case, it was more than apparent. In this instance, u/According-Air5665 explained there was a woman at her previous job that became a total Karen after she got promoted. Prior to her promotion, she'd gotten along with the team. But afterward, it was a whole different story. She made it her mission to cut costs in the team and go 'under budget'.Then she brought a new technical system she wanted everyone to use, of which the training would be crammed into one day. The kicker? No lunch break. After some complaints, Karen quickly blamed it on 'HR', and told OP to 'check the manual' if she had a problem with it. OP definitely had a problem with it, and she went right ahead to check the manual, which clearly stated that they were absolutely allowed a lunch break.Cue malicious compliance.
