Heather’s prompt and needlessly rude response to the new hire’s question barred her from a promotion almost immediately, and the poster told her as much
Heather lodged a complaint against the boss and played the victim card, so the manager wondered whether she shouldn’t have told her the reason for not being promoted
Today we dive into a story where our protagonist with a truly unique name,Ukcheatingwife, is a good boss who put a mean worker in her place. What happened was that the manager’s company had an open position for a supervisor with a higher pay while they had also recruited warehouse workers.
To get some insights about the work environment,Bored PandainterviewedApoorva Kale, an industrial and organizational psychology practitioner. She mentioned that new hires facing cruelty for asking questions or doubts will feelincompetentand even doubt their abilities to complete a task.
“They will suppress their needs and opinions and feel uncomfortable or unsafe at work, affecting team dynamics with a lack of trust. This will also cause low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and it will be more likely for the employee to quit the job,” she added.
Well, it looks like it’s a good thing the original poster (OP) overheard Heather belittling the new hire and decided to not promote her to the supervisor role that paid an extra £5 an hour. As many Redditors pointed out, the best part was probably how the boss told her the reason to her face about why she was not promoted to the position.

Our expert also explained that having transparency in theworkplacehelps avoid misunderstandings leading to confusion, or, at worst, lawsuits.
“It was the right thing to do as Heather needed to understand that she isn’t fully capable or equipped to be a leader and might need training in this case so that she is skilled/ educated enough to lead a team without having any negative consequences because of her behavior,” Apoorva noted.
On top of it all, folks online scoffed at how Heather played thevictimcard and lodged a complaint about her manager. They said that it was clearly evident that Heather lacked leadership skills and it was actually a blessing in disguise that the boss caught her acting that way.
People pointed out that she would’ve caused people to leave, and honestly, where’s the lie? We spoke to Apoorva about how a company can assess readiness for a supervisory role, especially in terms of a candidate’s interpersonal skills and temperament.
She advised, “Having a recruitment plan in the process would definitely benefit in making the right choice for the right role. Especially for a supervisory role, incorporating a behavioral interview questionnaire will be more insightful as the situational questions will help identify the candidate’s interpersonal and decision-making capabilities and also understand their reactions/temperament in certain situations.”
Folks applauded the boss and claimed that Heather got what she deserved as her actions would have made people leave if she was a supervisor
