'I'm quitting...': Veteran employee passed up for promotion then is asked to train their new boss


Being passed up for an internal promotion that you've been preparing for and waiting for for years is always going to sting and make you reconsider your employment—but being asked to train the person they've externally hired over you will definitely grind enough salt in the wound that it will drive you to quit. 

That's what happened when this employee was passed over for a senior role at their company and asked to train their boss-to-be. They shared their story in a short thread that they posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit yesterday, reporting that they were planning on quitting their role. The thread began to trend on the popular subreddit and garnered all types of responses from readers who offered their advice and reactions to the events.

Keep reading for this short thread and the reactions below. For more like this, check out this dude who was fired less than two hours into his first day.
