'People like this annoy me': Coworker accused of cheating by working crazy hours to get a promotion

Sure, it's not cheating but it's also not healthy! This guy, who by his own admission is single in his thirties and has fewer outside obligations compared to those of his coworkers, decided to work insane hours after work and over the weekends in order to boost his productivity and become the top candidate for an upcoming promotion. Naturally, this pissed off plenty of the other employees at the company who simply cannot afford to put in that amount of work with family obligations and children to take care of.

 

He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and left his fate up to the judges of the AITA community. Most of them did give him the benefit of the doubt and acknowledged that he's not necessarily an A-hole for working so hard. However, he is promoting the idea that in order to get the promotion, you have to bend over backward and do a ton of unpaid work in order to be considered. This doesn't exactly gel with how most workers are reevaluating their approach to their jobs in this day and age. So sure, he's not an A-hole, but he's definitely part of the problem.
