Few things are worse than dealing with an entitled boss, but sometimes it works out in your favor.
In an eye-opening tale of workplace struggle shared in the r/EntitledPeople subreddit, a former nursing home employee opens up about their overwhelming workload and their boss’s incompetence.
The employee, new to the HR and PR field, was left to not only manage their own tasks but also help their entitled boss, who had over 20 years of experience but lacked the necessary skills.
The story unfolds with extended holidays, mounting tensions, and a surprising turn of events after the employee decides to quit.
Here’s OP’s story:
The former nursing home employee shared their experience of working in HR and PR, handling an overwhelming workload equivalent to five full-time employees.
Despite being new to the field, they found themselves doing not only their tasks but also assisting their boss.
Although their boss had been in the role for 20+ years, they seemed to lack the required expertise.
The boss started taking extended holidays, leaving the employee to manage everything alone.
The employee faced criticism for mistakes they had warned their entitled boss about.
This created tension between them and the nursing staff.
Upon quitting, the employee shared their story in an exit interview.
A week later, the boss fell into burnout as she had to handle her own tasks and could no longer rely on the employee for help. Temporary management discovered the boss’s history of placing blame on employees and fired her for incompetence.
Readers responded in the comments in support of the employee.
OP clarified some details with commenters.
