Power-tripping Karen thinks she's the boss, employee gets back at her and takes over: 'I'll get you fired and get your position'

It doesn't matter if you work in a high-powered corporate environment or a three-person company; there will always be that coworker who thinks they're in charge of you. Perhaps they were just hired before your time. Perhaps they're older. Perhaps they ate slightly senior within the company hierarchy. Still, if they're not your manager, they have absolutely no business ordering you around.

Perpetua is formally defined as that power-tripping Karen in your average toxic work environment. Here, the Perpetua in question was lurking down the aisles of a grocery store, bossing folks around who she had no business bossing around. After a while, her antics caught up with her and she was caught berating an employee unfairly on camera by senior management. Good luck explaining that one, Perpetua!
