‘I work with a toddler’: Employee gets silent treatment from manager after they leave manager's team for a big promotion

If you can't be happy for your employees when they get a great promotion and manage to prove their worth inside or outside of the company, then you should probably not be a manager. This might sound harsh, but being a good manager is more than just about professional skills, a lot of it is simply being supportive of the people you actually manage, even when you don't feel like it.

The manager in this Reddit story is an example of a person who is not a great pick for a management position. OP (original poster), wrote to Reddit after they got a huge promotion they were super excited about. That promotion meant they would be leaving their manager's team, but would still work with her daily. When OP told their manager about the promotion, they expected her to be happy and proud of them, but they were actually met with a cold shoulder and even a full-on silent treatment.
