Manager blocks employee from getting a promotion, driving them to quit their job, years later same manager applies to a position in employee's new company: ‘I got her interview canceled’

People say you should always keep up professional relationships with everyone you have ever worked with, because you never know when or where you might run into them again. In other words, don't burn any bridges in your workplace, no matter how badly you might want to. 

The funny thing about this is that it truly applies to every single person you work with, no matter what. It's not just about being nice and professional towards your superiors, managers, and the higher-ups; you need to be nice to every single person you work with, no exceptions.

Why? Because life works in mysterious ways, and even employees you barely say a word to in your previous workplace can find themselves in positions where they can hold you back from something new. So simply don't give them any reason to do so.

That is what happened in the story below, after a manager blocked an employee from getting a promotion because of pettiness. This led the employee to a better position in a new company, to which the same manager applied for years later. The employee, now a department head, decided to give that manager a taste of her own medicine. Keep scrolling to read the full tale below…
