'Out of spite... I decided to take a leave for a whole month': Manager in training told for 6 months she would not be hired, HR steps in with a sweet deal

Welcome to the confusing world of job searching. If you have never been here before, better buckle up, buddy. Even if you're hired to get trained doesn't always guarantee that you're going to be brought on full-time. Or does it? I guess this is where you have to read the fine print.

One Redditor said she was brought on to a company as a manager in training (MIT) with nothing in writing stating she would be hired afterwards. However, things were going swimmingly, her coworkers seemed to like her, and she figured she was a shoo-in for the position. So you can imagine how surprised she was when they told her she wasn't going to be hired. She was shocked, but they were nice about it and offered her a leave of absence (LOA) and gave her several months to figure things out and to have her train her replacement. So for six months she was doing what she was told. When it started to get close to her time to take her permanent LOA, she went to HR to make sure everything was finalized. However, turns out HR had no idea about any of this and was aghast when they found out she hadn't gotten the job. After a few hours, HR asked OP back in and offered her not only the full-time position, but a sweet deal. Read the whole story below!
