TL;DR:
The employee who shared this story worked at a franchised cell phone store where an incompetent manager, Alexis, spent years mistreating staff while engaging in questionable business practices. After returning to the company, the employee deliberately documented Alexis’s misconduct, helping build the case that eventually led to both her and the district manager being forced out.
Believing they had been promised Alexis’s vacant manager position, the employee spent days repairing the neglected store and preparing to take over. Instead, management handed the promotion to someone else who had supposedly been promised it earlier, while telling OP to wait a few more months for a different opportunity that wasn’t guaranteed.
Feeling betrayed after months of extra effort and loyalty, the employee, instead, resigned. This left the already understaffed store with only one remaining employee, and the now-former employee accepted a better-paying job that matched their interests and offered significantly better pay and benefits.
