Today's Karma Stories episode features two incredible workplace dramas from r/BestofRedditorUpdates, where questionable management decisions and toxic coworkers push good employees to their breaking points. First, an experienced supervisor finds themselves in an impossible situation when their new boss turns out to be married to one of their direct reports.

Running a haunted house takes a lot more than creepy costumes and jump scares. Every scare depends on careful timing, experienced performers, and knowing exactly when to send the next group through. But when a new general manager decides the long lines are costing the business money, he comes up with a simple solution: stop wasting time between groups. The employees know there's a very good reason for those gaps, but management isn't interested in hearing it. What follows is a workplace Malicious Compliance story about a boss who thinks efficiency is everything, employees forced to follow orders they know won't work, and a Halloween attraction where things are about to get a whole lot scarier behind the scenes.
