'I gave your job to someone else': Employee returns from sick leave and discovers manager promoted coworker instead of her

If being an employee is a challenge, being a manager to several employees is no picnic either. Having to answer to all of their requests, being the person they turn to whenever they have any problem, and yes, even being the person they blame when things go wrong, are all difficult tasks that can really drive a person up the wall. Though the title can be tempting, you have to remember that with great power, comes great responsibility.

This person who wrote this Reddit piece is just starting to realize the responsibility of being a manager. She was offered a promotion and had the opportunity to give her own job to one of her employees. After she offered it to one - Belle, it was quickly becoming clear that Belle was not up to the task, as she went on illness leave for almost two months. The manager decided to offer the job to another employee instead, but that didn't bode well with Belle, who was mad when she learned her position was offered to someone else.
