An 'up yours' to my employers I thought I would share

Was recently blocked twice for a promotion as someone was going on maternity leave and they said it would mean them having to recruit someone in my place which would have been too costly. Found this fairly unethical due to the fact that I was a perfect fit for the promotion and I'm getting into debt due to cost of living m. Have been bullied at work and was told to pull my socks up when dealing with poor mental health due to DV. After multiple attempts for promotion, I decided I would leave, and have been offered an amazing job, twice the income, and current manager is now telling me how disappointed she is in me. Two weeks to go and I couldn't give a fig. Onwards and upwards! Anyone want to celebrate with me? Had a horrific week and am feeling very positive :) AIBU to be absolutely loving this?!

YANBU, and congratulations!

glamourousindierockandroll · 11/10/2022 20:14

Intrigued as why the employer thinks she has the right to say she is "disappointed in you!"

Pissed off you're leaving certainly but it sounds like you're off to better and brighter things!

MrsCarson · 11/10/2022 20:14

Congratulations. They were very shortsighted. Serves them right they are losing you.

Congratulations!!!!

Don't forget to leave your boss a long but entirely useless handover which doesn't cover the most important bits of your job!

Hide some kippers on top of a very high cupboard in the managers office. I know someone who did this and it took weeks for them to find where the awful smell was coming from 🤣🤣
