Employee Gets Karen Translator Fired For Being Difficult


Wow, after reading through this glorious tale of pro revenge it would seem that this Karen translator was so aggressively clueless that she didn't even realize her job was pretty much useless. If one is able to lock down a paying gig that doesn't actually really carry any weight in a company's profitability, then it's probably wise to not stir up a fuss about someone else who's a big player for the company.

FYLI knew that a major % of a VP comp package with the company had to do with the companies margin at the end of the year, the bigger the margin, the bigger the bonus. You can see the twinkle in his eye

FYI Karen wasn't her real name obviously. TL:DR got my translator fired for being difficult by getting the VP to see she was a waste of money 6.1k 3 200 T, Share
