As upsetting as this initially sounded, thankfully, this employee ended up standing up for herself. We know that gender bias exists in the workplace. This is obviously not new information and not the first time this conversation has made its way onto the internet. However, clearly there are some folks who still have yet to catch onto the unconscious bias and the unfortunate ways in which this dynamic has become ingrained in workplace socialization and office politics.

Imagine having a coworker so terrible that when you get a new management role and poach the members of your old team, your old HR manager actually gets mad at you for not poaching the awful one. That's a scenario that boggles the mind so completely it's hard to imagine this scenario actually playing out in real life. Yet, that's exactly what his manager reported experiencing in a story that they shared on Reddit. In their account of events, they tell how—a few months after leaving their old job…

If there's one thing you can expect from an unqualified nepo baby, it's that they will likely do their job incorrectly.

We've all had the experience of being overlooked by an employer.

We all have that one coworker...

Imagine working hard for decades for the same company, pushing towards retirement age, only for them to turn around and treat you terribly.

You know it's ridiculous when the cost of the request exceeds the actual overpayment!

Your boss's inability to be organized is not your problem!

This garbage CEO should really think before he speaks...

This employee needs to recognize that their coworker very much did this to himself.

There's nothing like finding a niche loophole and getting some money back in the process.

If this isn't the problem with startup culture, I don't know what is!

Something tells me this is not what HR was hoping for.
