'My boss snubbed me after I saved the company $45,000' : Boss refuses to promote burnt out employee despite increased profit margins, leads to malicious compliance, boss gets made redundant

Managers often have the tendency of getting employees to jump through hoops in hopes of getting promoted, then don't end up delivering. This employee did so much extra work that she actually saved the company $45,000, but alas, she was told she was still not 'deserving' of a promotion. In other words, even if you do a good job, it's not good enough. Fed up, OP decided enough was enough, because if the company was saving $45,000 but still couldn't 'afford to give OP a raise', then why bother putting in any extra effort?

From then on, she stuck to what was in her job description. Her boss was less than pleased (what did she expect?), not to mention that profits went way down. There were many attempts on this boss's part to try to screw OP over, but they were all unsuccessful. Eventually, the manager got yelled at by the CEO, which did the trick — OP got promoted, whereas her boss got made redundant.
