A colleague of mine was "offered" a management role—basically told to take on extra responsibilities for 20 people, but with no extra pay. Boss gave him the usual speech about how it was a "great opportunity" and would "open doors" for him. He took the role anyway, built strong relationships with his team, and after eight months, another company offered him the same management role—with actual compensation.
He accepted the offer and, in the process, took about 10 of the people he was managing with him. Just people who trusted him enough to follow him to a better workplace. Ex Boss was shocked and majorly understaffed after that 😅
I mean, what is to be expected when you're asked to work extra for free???
The boss wasn't lying when he said it would open doors!
