EP56: AITA: Workplace Chaos Edition

Art of Classiness

Workplace drama is the gift that keeps on giving — especially when it involves fake firings, stolen lunches, and managers who ghost their own shifts. In this Am I the Asshole? episode, Robin and Deborah tackle four wild Reddit stories that test boundaries, petty revenge, and the fine line between self-protection and selfishness.

From a teen barista’s hilarious customer takedown to a boss offering a tough choice after a no-show fiasco, we’ll unpack the psychology, debate the judgments, and share why these tales hit so close to home.

Episodes like this remind us: Classy doesn’t mean perfect — it means owning your moves, even the messy ones.
