‘My boss promoted the wrong person after I quit; the company tanked’: Boss tanks company after replacing employee who quits with new hire

When one door closes, another opens, or so they say. In this case, the door that opened led to utter and complete chaos in the work environment of OP, who quit his job after finding a greener pasture. OP was working at a large electronics retail store for many years and eventually found himself working in a warehouse position. After quitting, he was given the job of training the employee who would take his stead. So he put in a lot of hours training this new employee. For some reason, his boss decided to promote someone else instead…

All the hours OP had put in now amounted to nothing. In addition, the job that OP was leaving was very difficult, and required a lot of skill and practice, with firsthand knowledge. The person that his boss hired had none of that, and it was too late, as OP was halfway out the door. To say that the company suffered as a result of this poor decision would be an understatement. Scroll down to read what happened next. For more, here is an employee who refused to train a new hire because he had technically already left the company… that didn't stop his boss from demanding that he stay in order just to 'train him'.
