#1) Posted in r/entitledparents, let’s get into it!

#2) OP used to work at a supermarket where she would do favors for her colleagues. There was also a problematic co-worker who would book last-minute vacations without getting an off from work.

#3) If management told her she couldn’t have time off, she’d bully other co-workers into canceling their trips.

#4) One time OP had a holiday booked and the colleague asked her to cancel so she could go to the Maldives instead.

#5) OP stuck her ground and the colleague became aggressive.

#6) This aggression continued and OP revealed that she couldn’t cancel due to a family wedding.

#7) The colleague continued to call OP selfish for not giving her holiday up for her.

#8) The colleague tries to convince OP that her needs are bigger.

#9) The co-worker tried to guilt trip OP into canceling but OP just reported her to HR.

#10) The manager talked to the co-worker and she stopped bugging OP. A few weeks passed and OP came back to work but didn’t see that co-worker.

#11) OP’s co-worker had been fired for scamming management into taking the holiday anyway after saying that she was sick and even posting about it.

OP’s extremely annoying situation with her bully colleague resulted in an ultimately satisfying end. The reality check they were handed when their plans were derailed was a bit like a slapback to reality. It showed that bullying and pushing others aside for personal gain would only lead to a negative conclusion down the road. It’s important to remember that others are waiting in line too and not everything is about you and your life – especially when you have children. You are not entitled to these things whether you’re child-free or have 7 kids. Check out what Reddit users said about the situation down below:
