Work drama hits different when it becomes personal, and this one hit me right in the gut. I never thought I would be the kind of person who refuses a task at work, but what happened felt so unfair that I still cannot believe my company expected me to play along or that some people are actually pointing fingers at me.
I’m a woman in my 40s, and I’ve been at my current job for 9 years, almost 10. I was told to train a new employee. I even thought it might be nice to have someone take a bit of the workload off my shoulders.I was totally OK with it, until everything flipped. I found out, by accident, that this new guy was not only replacing me, he was also making $28,000 more than me
