A social media influencer got herself into a bit of trouble after it came out that she had her twin sister step in for her at work, enabling her to sneak away on a vacation.
“My boss saw the video my twin posted while she was filling in for me at work,” Ari Chance, a twin influencer from Canada, mentioned in the caption of a TikTok video that garnered thousands of views.

Ari and her sister Noe, who share a striking resemblance, often share videos on TikTok to their more than 800,000 followers.
These videos explore the curious aspects of being twins, like their partners confusing them for one another or managing to be in two places at the same time.
Recently, Ari pulled a new trick by having her twin sister replace her at her job for a day.
She claimed it was because her request for leave was rejected, and she wanted to go on a vacation.
Unfortunately for Ari, her scheme was exposed when her boss came across a video that Noe posted while pretending to be Ari at work, as seen in the clip.

The video also included a glimpse of the stern email her boss sent her, expressing his anger over her actions.
“Let me be clear: your decision to enlist your twin sister as a substitute while you gallivant off on vacation after your leave request was denied is completely unacceptable,” the frustrated manager, referred to as “John” in the email, wrote furiously.
“It’s a slap in the face to both your colleagues who abide by the rules and the company that entrusts you with responsibilities.”
He continued, “Your actions not only reflect poorly on yourself but also tarnish the reputation of our company.
“This level of disregard for protocol and decorum is frankly shocking and will not be tolerated.”
As a form of retribution for her deceptive move, John insisted that Ari apologize, immediately explain her actions, and come up with a “plan of action” to remedy the situation.
He warned, “Any further instances of misconduct will result in serious consequences, including potential disciplinary action.”
“I expect to hear from you promptly to discuss how we can address this egregious breach of trust and professionalism,” John concluded, signing off with “disappointed regards.”
The TikTok community found the whole episode rather amusing, with comments pouring in about Ari’s botched attempt to have her twin substitute for her at work.
“That’s craaazyy,” one user exclaimed, while another commented, “Disappointed regards is my new favorite signature.”
“He has way too much emotion in that email,” another viewer pointed out.

Yet, some were skeptical about whether the incident was genuine.
“That clearly isn’t a real email,” one doubtful viewer asserted.
