Employee suspects coworker blocked them on corporate chat software because they were promoted to a better role: ‘[We] have never really gotten along’

Most employees in the workforce hope they don't get stuck in the same position with the same pay for the rest of their lives. Promotions are few and far between, at least in this job market, so it's important to take any step-up you can get—you never know when the next opportunity to rise above will be handed to you.

Now, not to fear monger, but it's kind of true. That's why there's so much dissonance between coworkers in certain fields… All of you are gunning for the same 5% pay bump and mid-level title to flaunt on LinkedIn. Don't worry, this is a safe space. What you don't expect, though, is for your scorned coworkers to block you on G Chat or Microsoft Teams when you get the promotion they wanted. We're all adults here, aren't we? Save your tears for your private Instagram or something. 

This next story paints a picture of how petty some coworkers can be… if the poster's coworker actually blocked them. The employee who posted the story explains that their messages aren't going through to one of their team members, and they have a history of hostility… This can't be a coincidence, can it?
