For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

I think it depends on whether Karen knew she didn't work very hard, in which case her statement about doing "all the hard work" would be sarcasm.

However, given the other examples in the article I'd say she truly believed she did all the work - and therefore her statement was not sarcasm.
