Coworker-turned-roommate accuses woman of ‘stealing’ her work promotion, then tries to kick her out of their shared apartment: ‘She DID NOT even apply!’

The saying folks always tell you is never mix business and pleasure. It's easy to refrain from doing so in work environments regarding friendships or romantic relationships, but do the idiom gods have a saying for rooming with your coworker?

In this economy, you're still better off footing the bill for a $2.5k studio than accepting an apartment share with someone you work with—you never really know someone until you share a roof with them. Now, draining our savings isn't an option for many of us, so we end up posting about our crazy roommates on Reddit in hopes we receive some sound advice from the rest of the world.

In this next story, a woman explains that she moved in with her coworker after leaving an emotionally taxing relationship. The woman wasn't put in the best position from the beginning, but anything is better than living under a roof with someone who makes you feel unsafe. Long story short, her roommate accuses her of "stealing" a work promotion from her, despite never having applied for the promotion to begin with. There's a bit of back-and-forth, but the solution for the roommate seems to be kicking the woman out. Good luck with that—she's paid her rent for all of July. Scroll below to read the rest of the story.
