Nothing much just the usual "oh dang. That sucks...I wanted to make plans." She goes "Well when youre a dedicated worker it doesnt matter! You need to be here!" And said this with such...toxic joy I didnt talk to her the rest of the day. A month later I hear her bemoaning she had to work extra hours because of various reasons. I looked at her with...a look.

[@donniejefferson9554]

It's not particularly hard to get into one of those positions so basically anyone who has a desire for power can get one.

[@bluecanine3374]

Obvious answer is a lot of people are assholes and lose empathy for others when they get some power. Another is a lot of people work basic low paying entry level jobs hoping one day they will be recognized for their efforts and get a promotion so they can finally relax a little. Sometimes they are im that higher position a little too long and forget what it is like to do the general sort of labor they used to, or they get frustrated that they thought they paid their dues and yet still are being treated like crap by people even higher up than them so they take it out on others.

[@Eye_Of_Odin978]

Yeah, that sounded kinda sus tbh Like I get wanting to meet up for D&D but people's literal real life work is on the line.

[@heatherharrison264]

Sadly, this sort of thing can happen when work and social life are blended. Over the years, I have mostly kept the two separate, but during one time period, I got into friendships with a few people at work, and when conflict developed within that friend group, it wasn't fun and it bled over into work. Getting into D&D or any other highly involved social activity with co-workers is risky, and with a supervisor or a subordinate, the risk goes way up. Combine that with some romance, and this horror story happens. Fortunately, it wasn't worse. The power-mad manager could have fired people rather than merely mess with the schedule.

[@Leongon]

It sounds like absolute madness to even consider including your boss in your hobbies, it always boils down to having to let the boss win at games, but it's understandable that in this case they were stuck into that situation unexpectedly with one colleague getting promoted after they already were gaming together. It takes really good friendships to have this situation without having the power imbalances of work mess with the shared hobbies.

13:51 I call it the KAREN theory. It would explain why so many people all of a sudden get extremely assholish when given the power. When a a certain individual gains a higher level (in rank or businesses) than the others, a seed of corruption is planted. it starts out small, having the Individual pulling rank to help their friends but then they start use it more for selfish reasons. Usually this seed would die if the individual has any amounts of compassion and humility but if not, it usually blooms into a flower of entitlement. They “believe” that they should have power over everything, even when it’s not even related to their job.

[@anacsadder]

In hindsight, it seems like a red flag that she was initially willing to never schedule them on a Saturday so that they could always play. It shows a lack of professionalism, inability to separate work life from personal life, and willingness to use power for favoritism. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the work structure, but wouldn't that mean they had other coworkers that she didn't especially favorite because they weren't playing games together out side of work? And those coworkers would always have to work on Saturday because the boss wasn't willing to schedule her gaming buddies on Saturday?

[@laurels4040]

yeah, exactly. I mean, I guess it depends on how the schedule in that business works (since clearly they're open weekends which is a time a lot of people don't want to work) but it seems pretty shitty that she changed the schedule to make sure they ALWAYS had saturday nights off. that's all kinds of yikes but I guess a little bit of power goes a long way for some people.

[@Nastara]

Agreed. Depending on the job it probably doesn’t matter. Like my job doesn’t affect me if someone on my team doesn’t show up. However, it’s likely for this job it does.

[@hexonyou]

this reminds me of an ex friend of mine who had a similar mix of good worker drone at work, emotionally immature with life.

[@smusky4643]

This one butthole kept taking and keeping magic items for himself, even when he couldn't use it, wouldn't even sell them either and hoarded it all for himself. So when we found another bag of holding on a long dead adventurer, we knew what he was gonna do. We backed up and let him snatch it up, he put it in his bag of holding. If you don't know what that does, basically it makes a black hole into another dimension for a few seconds, can't remember the specifics, but it's a bad dimension, you don't wanna go there. He got sucked in immediately, the bags destroyed, and then rage quit when he found out his character was gone for good. No way was he gonna survive long enough in there to find a way back. Banished himself with his own greed 🥳

[@ChickinSammich]

Until the time when she went off exploring by herself, got knocked out and left for dead by an ogre when she tried to 1v1 it.

"Neither a lender nor a borrower be", goes the old English proverb, although it's probably a paraphrase of a Biblical Proverb given the whole anti-usury, anti-exploitation theme. I'm feeling like arranging shifts so they could play together was something she saw as a costly favour imposing a debt obligation on the DM and other players, that should therefore have allowed her to interfere in the story. CS Lewis said that the defining distinction of friendship is the absence of obligations, in The Four Loves. Any time you impose obligations, or assume others are obligated to you, or over-give, such as to create a debt, you damage the friendship, because friendship requires the absence of obligations. Obligations belong in other kinds of relationships, including work relationships, marriages and parenthood. So the confusion of the different kinds of relationship broke the friendship.

11:12 - CritCrab...NEVER underestimate the "power" that comes from combining RPGs, self-projection onto your player characters, and MINOR administrative authority in real life.

HOWEVER, combine that with a degree of power and it can easily transform into a sense of entitlement.

Lol I can make my own horror story out of this.( English is not my first language so big sorry for my writing) " I work at a small company or whatever, recently one of the employees got promoted to team leader and all of a sudden me and two others find ourselves working EVERY Saturday. we later found out it was because the team lead and her two friends needed to have Saturday off to hang out together and play some game you always hear them chatting about on sundays. After a few Saturdays, I asked for a Saturday off and to my surprise the lead is more than happy to give it to me and knows just who to get to replace me for that day,I think how easy that was and that I shoulda asked sooner.well apperantly me taking the day off caused some drama between the friends and I'm back to working every Saturday and her friend that replaced me that day is back to every Saturday off again( favoritism?), fast forward a few weeks and the team lead is having a fight in her office with her boyfriend over the game they all been playing together for weeks now.which leads to management giving her a warning for causing a scene at the workplace. Some time has passed and the team lead has been removed do to her two friends turning on her and reporting her as toxic(guess having every Saturday off wasnt nice enough) and the strike she already had from that blow out in her office with the boyfriend. since her two friends transferred out of our team and scheduling has gone back to normal with everyone getting a fair shot at Saturday's off. TLDR: new team lead schedules friends off work every Saturday for a game they play together, they have a fight over the game and friends report her costing her the promotion. This is just my lil take on how the other co-workers might have seen it from the outside and in no way ment to be serious and again sry for my bad English and mistakes.

It allows me to actually have a life and plan things and make actual promises outside of work. For those who can, request stable immutable schedule agreements in advance of any job you take. You'll thank me for it later.

[@BlueTressym]

That's a good idea but hard to do; I haven't seen a job contract that didn't demand 'flexibility' for years.

[@Dark_Jaguar]

@@BlueTressym Just about every office job I've had is a fixed schedule arrangement. Monday through Friday, 9-5, and that's that. I suppose office work is the last remnant of this sort of thing.

hacking someones google docs is illegal, she should be reported to the police for espionage

[@VictorPereira-sj7wb]

I'm definitely not blaming anyone involved besides the manager, BUT Mixing work, D&D AND a romantic relationship together was bound to end up in problems. I mean, the Paladin clearly was messing with fire when he decided to get into a romantic relationship both IRL and In-Game with a work colleague that became his BOSS

If I was promoted I’d definitely be joking about stuff but never serious. If my players derailed the campaign or something I’d sarcastically say: “well, this will be coming up on your evaluation”

[@nabra97]

I feel like it's more about inability to build healthy relationship than about using non-game methods to get game benefits. It just happened in d&d group because romance started in it. Arguably way worse, but it's not so absurd as messing with people irl for game advantage.

I will not ooga, nor will I booga, in the face of the Crab King. But I will, from this day, to the last, stand proud, and though death may find me, I will not cease - boogie woogie

Dude! Wyrmwood!? Congratulations man!

Crit Crab is a Danganronpa fan confirmed?

[@brandonpham4017]

I think this reminds me of a reddit pist where a supervisor abused their power so that the party could focus on their character's own personal arc. Also, nice footage of Ben Chang from Community; #KenJeongFTW

She confessed that She intentionally is scheduling the fighter away from the table, so the Paladin could get that magical weapon and that she "was going to bring him back when the D'M was fairer????!!!!..... Guys Did I've just read it right ???!!! @13.06 ???? (I'm now furious....)

would be nice to just record her words about bringing dnd to the work and just bring the recordings to higher-ups to get her fired. Would be totally fair to do so

I never understood why players date through characters…..your characters fell in love …not you two 😂. What the hell.

This story could have ended like 6 messy paragraphs earlier if they had just gone to HR ...at least if they had a good HR rep which is absolutely not a given, a lot of HR ppl SUCK

[@brennatargaryen]

I normally hate watching sponsorship stuff BUT I have to second recommending Wyrmwood! I have two of their smaller products (a mini dice spellbook and an even smaller keychain spellbook/mini dice set) and I adore them. Both were kickstarters, and Wyrmwood’s proven to me that they’re open and trustworthy… and had a fun sense of humor in their backer updates. Gotta love em!

[@jesternario]

That ending is good. That's honestly what should happen when someone goes napoleon.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. A little bit of power corrupts absolutely too. It is a weird mix.

Did... did they not have an HR department at work? I'd have reported this immediately.

Kinda deserved. RIP to the Paladin for probably having to deal with her more than other characters in the story.

I feel like I’m in a simulation, I could’ve SWORN that I’ve either heard drake, perch or crit do this before

I heard it from Crowe's Perch. These stories can get repeated on other channels.

[@eternalsummer8409]

In a game I was in recently we had a deck of cards (no not that one) a home brew one made by the dm, full of good, bad, evil, and fairly brilliant, loot, and whenever anyone would find a special treasure that wasn’t either basic loot or story important loot, we’d draw a card, and whatever the item was we’d get the equivalent. Wether we could use it, wether it would try to kill us, etc, was all based on luck. Not the greatest way of doing things. But it was hilarious raiding the kings treasure room while drunk irl and pulling as many cards as we could at the end game

[@eternalsummer8409]

Not a brilliant way but unlike the person in this video, it was relatively fair by giving the same chance to anyone
