Imagine getting a call from your boss asking for your promotion...

 

We certainly feel for this manager and their family as this company deals with impending layoffs. However, calling your employee and asking for them to keep their current position so that you can make a play at the promotion they were offered? That's wildly unprofessional and if anyone were to find out about this kind of conscious manipulation, that manager could very well be digging their own grave at this point. Sure, we empathize with their situation, but we are far more sympathetic toward their employee, who expressed their discomfort at the way this whole phone call went down. They shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit, and let's just say that people in the comments section were far less kind with regard to the manager's behavior than the Redditor was. 

 

Keep scrolling below to see what they had to say. When you're finished, here's another post about a Karen who ruined her own job interview by being rude to the receptionist.
