'Don't wanna give me a new contract? Fine': Employee quits job after boss refuses to make them an official manager

After twelve years working at a retail store, this employee finally got the chance to become a manager. It's a career accomplishment that is a big stepping stone for many people. Especially when working in retail, stepping up to be a manager is a sign that you've put hard work and lots of time into your job, and now your employer thinks you have the skillset to manage others. 

For this person, though, their company wanted them to act like a manager, but didn't really want to treat them like one. First, they had the OP, u/Garfish-woosh, jump through lots of hoops, meaning they had to do hours worth of training without additional pay. The employee did this for six whole months until they were finally allowed to be called a manager. But they did have some issues that arose from their new contract, which they ended up using for their own benefit in the end. 

People in the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit loved this tale, and numerous commenters left their own hilarious tales in the comments below. Check it all out down below. After that, take a peek into the secret lives of random strangers on the internet with these anonymous confessions.
