I feel bad that people like this are reinforcing the stereotype about the name Karen.
- When I worked retail I had a manager called Karen and she's pretty good, both as a person and as a manager. Some sort of karmic balance?
  
  Karenic balance
  
  Had to see the manager so much decided to just do it herself
  
  I hope anytime someone asked for the manager you said, "I'll go get the manager, Karen."

There are some great gems from this trial. This lady sounds not only lazy, but also extremely unpleasant to be around. I imagine she still feels wronged and will never change and grow.

I love that this story is getting so much attention. What an extremely unpleasant person!

The example offered was when Conaghan wrote "whiz" in a coworker's card then claimed another colleague was copying her when they used "whizz" in a different card.
This story just gets better and better.

40 allegations, this person sounds like a liability.

Karen went full Karen and the judge wasn't having it. Lovely. As a bonus, every employer who googles her during the hiring process will never hire her, so she's just tanked her employment prospects forever.
- MFW her name is literally Karen. 🤦
  As a rule I don't like using a person's name as a derogatory word but come the fuck on. 🙄😕

I always thought “are you taking the piss?” meant “are you being sarcastic?”. TIL
- It sorta is, it's more like "are you even taking this seriously?"
- No, you’re right. That is what it means.
  The sentence mentioning it in the article was weirdly worded. It wasn’t making any claims about the definition of the phrase, just when it was used.
- I think it depends on whether Karen knew she didn't work very hard, in which case her statement about doing "all the hard work" would be sarcasm.
  However, given the other examples in the article I'd say she truly believed she did all the work - and therefore her statement was not sarcasm.

Are you taking the piss, Karen? 😂
