Employee’s delight turns to outrage as higher-us revoke bonus and promotion, calling it a ‘typo’ after signing

Individuals put in countless hours with the belief that their diligence and passion would finally pay dividends. If and when it occurs, it will be a historic occasion that people will talk about for weeks to come. So, how would you react if it turned out that your management had erred in awarding you the promotion that you had been hankering after for the past ten years?

The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) had spent a significant amount of time employed by the same business. After a lengthy wait, he was rewarded with a raise in salary and a promotion. But instead of allowing him to easily transition into his new position, superiors questioned his length with the company and crushed his joy by dismissing his bonus as a typo in the contract.

With that said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened and whether or not OP won the case and got the bonus he deserves! Additionally, after you're through, don't forget to read the story of the entitled woman who parked carelessly in her neighbor's reserved parking space, sparking a dramatic neighborly feud!
