This worker shared their story with Reddit’s r/antiwork workplace subreddit community, sharing how he had been demoted from his position for a serious incident that occurred at his workplace. When the worker arrived at work, his boss told them that they wanted to speak with him at the end of the day, specifically noting that he “Wasn’t in trouble” This led the worker to believe that he might be receiving a promotion for all the extra work he had been doing, putting him in high spirits for the rest of the day. However, when the time for the “talk” came, the worker was met with a written warning and an accompanying demotion from their role—with the immediate appointment of another replacement.
After doing some digging, the worker was able to quickly determine that the alleged incident hadn’t even taken place during his shift, leading him to revisit the situation with his superiors. Instead of reinstatement, their boss offered only a single “Sorry.”
