‘The work I did wasn’t on him, it was on you’: Leadership tries to block employee from opportunities, he ends up with a more senior position than them

We love a triumphant ending in which ruthless managers at a company get exactly what they deserve. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/baka-tari, a new manager who was brought in to oversee a team that included Willie. Willie made a comment about the uncomfortable layout of the office that rubbed the other managers the wrong way. So, essentially, they attempted to blacklist Willie and find a way to keep him from getting other opportunities in other departments. The Redditor, however, noticed that WIllie was actually quite gifted at his job and didn't deserve any of this treatment. When Willie was able to get a job at another location within the company with the Redditor's recommendation, the other managers were shocked to learn that Willie had gotten an even better job than them. Good on Willie and good on the Redditor for their support!
