‘I flat out said no’: Employee refuses to train her underqualified replacement after being passed up on a promotion she was ‘heavily encouraged’ to apply for

You did the dirty work for them, and now the employers' games are brought to the surface. If you are unsure that you're working for a toxic company/boss, just see what they do when a new hire comes along like the one in this story.
