'Bye-bye': Employee leaves company high and dry after learning that micromanager attempted to undermine his promotion

Being overlooked for your accomplishments is the worst feeling in the world. You toil diligently throughout the year, sacrificing precious moments with friends and friends only to have your employer deny you a promotion because they 'believe' you don't have what it takes.

The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. For a significant duration, the original poster (OP) was employed by the same company. Consequently, he felt compelled to discuss the prospect of a promotion with his boss after showcasing his abilities and brand dedication. At first, everything seemed to be moving smoothly, and the manager seemed to be supportive of the plan. But all changed when the promotions started pouring in and OP's name was nowhere to be seen.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning what transpired when OP was left off of the shortlist for the impending promotions! After you're done, don't forget to read the account of the worker who fled to a new city to avoid his former boss, only to have him unexpectedly visit him at his new job!
