We've all had the experience of being overlooked by an employer, but this guy had it rough. He had been working at his company for over a decade and had been clocking in over 40 hours a week, and yet somehow, he has been plagued with the status of being a part-time employee despite everyone that this label is far from accurate. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/SilentMaster, who also helped prove once again that HR is not your friend. This particular HR lady was barely present in the office and had no sense of the kind of support OP needed in his department. He asked for someone to join the team under him to better help the workflow, but HR claimed that this wasn't doable. After HR left the company, OP went to his boss and said that instead of having someone join the team, it's probably a better idea to just have OP promoted to manager with a raise and title that accurately reflects his position at the company. His boss seemingly approved, but apparently, the CEO denied said request because he was informed by the former HR lady that OP was part-time and therefore was under-qualified for such a promotion. What an insult to someone who had been putting in 40 hours a week for over ten years. Furthermore, a lot of folks in the comments section suggested that the CEO was using the former HR lady's "opinion" as an excuse to not promote OP. Clearly, he had the credentials and was more than willing to have a "full-time" position. We believe this hot take is a compelling one. Why even consider what a former employee who never came to the office had to say anyway? Sounds like a pathetic excuse to us!
