Dear S.Q., I’m furious at a co-worker who denigrated the waitstaff for bringing the wrong meal, then insulted her intelligence when she tried to apologize. The manager got involved and comped his meal. My colleague was loud, obnoxious, and urged the rest of us to not tip even though our meal and service was fine. His was too, but he was drunk and wanted a fight. We’ve nicknamed him Cruel Kevin.
Dear Colleague, Playing off the female slang “Karen,” obnoxious, toxic privileged middle-class, angry, public loudmouth, who refuses to accept no for an answer, is this male version -Kevin, Chad, Ken… Their behavior is often race-based bigotry that escalates trivial situations to control others. Cruel Kevin may regret his actions when he sobers up, but you’ve seen his true self. Steer clear. -SQ
