Coworker does vacant manager's position for a year under guise of promotion: '[They] resigned because, surprise!.. It didn't happen'
The promise of promotion is a proverbial carrot on a stick that often gets dangled over workers' heads, encouraging them to do more and work harder for longer hours, taking on additional responsibilities, under the guise that this "growth" will soon earn them a promotion that pays them properly for the work they have been doing. Of course, while this holds merit when honest intentions are had, all too often this is exploited to get workers to do things they're not being paid to do…
This employee watched their coworker take on their departing boss's tasks, under the impression that by doing so for a period of time, they would be growing into the role and earning themselves a permanent promotion to the role. But, as time went on, their boss's role was never filled… and there weren't any real signs that the promotion was ever coming. As more and more tasks were piled onto the duo, especially the coworker who had been volunteering under false pretenses, their coworker eventually cracked under the pressure and quit. After being told that they would now be responsible for all the team's tasks, their team member, the original poster of this thread, followed suit, immediately looking for new jobs before handing in their notice.
