Redditors Strongly Support This Employee Who Refused To Give Their Entitled Boss The First-Class Seat They Earned

On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, one Redditor (OP) posted a story asking, "AITA for not giving my boss my first class seat?" In the post, they detailed that they and their boss flew to participate in a conference yesterday. After the flight, the boss suddenly questioned their actions, saying they lacked respect for company rules.

The issue? The OP earned a free first-class upgrade, thanks to their personal credit card use and frequent travels, even though the company paid for the original ticket. However, the boss argues that her seniority and the company's money make her more deserving of the upgrade.

Now, the OP is left wondering if they were wrong. Scroll down to check out the entire story and the comments from Redditors.
