Age Before Wisdom
She got onto the library board, and when she was pushy before, she suddenly became super entitled. She reported me and another employee to our boss for “ignoring and mistreating an employee” even though we were just joking around with the patron while we were helping her, and she was playing along.
She gave one employee an anxiety attack because she berated him every time she saw him for “not doing his job properly,” even though he was a perfectly good employee.
She kept asking pretty much everyone on the staff to give out other patrons’ information, even though that’s strictly against confidentiality policy.
And she was just generally a mean, miserly old witch hiding behind a thin veneer of sweet old lady. So I got excited when I didn’t see her for a while and I thought they finally got her off the board.
But then she came back from an illness and it turns out all of the staff’s legitimate complaints can’t unseat age, especially with a scarcity of other people wanting to be on the board. Story credit: Reddit / waterwaytogo
