Imagine getting a promotion at work, but instead of being happy for you, one coworker is jealous and the other thinks you’re trying to steal her shift.

Would you respond to the drama, or would you try to ignore it?

In this story, one woman who works at a gas station finds herself in this exact situation. She finds it pretty baffling.

Keep reading for all the details.

You’re quitting because what now?

I work at a corporate gas station, and I have a quick little tale about my returning to the job.

So I worked for this company for four years, then left for about 8 months for a better job, but got laid off, so I returned.

Upon my return, I was promoted to assistant manager.

The coworkers were jealous of her promotion.

The store is primarily staffed by other ladies, and apparently it caused a stink or two when I returned.

One was angry about being overlooked for the position even though she hadn’t really earned it, and I had done most of the duties during my previous employment regularly.

She is now full of attitude and constantly trying to inconvenience me.

I do not understand the hostility but I’m dealing with it.

Another woman was upset about something she should’ve been grateful for.

One of the other employees, a woman who worked the 6-2 shift went on vacation this last week. I covered her shift because that’s one of my responsibilities.

I found out yesterday, she quit. She apparently told the other assistant that she was upset that I got the 6-2 shift.

I was only working it because she was on vacation and it needed to be staffed. Essentially she quit because I was covering her during her absence.

Helping out really backfired.

I am now working 6 day weeks with significant overtime to cover the shift until a replacement is staffed.

I was quite baffled at this, but I have to say I am no longer surprised when things like this happen.

I didn’t even want the shift, I enjoy sleeping in!

The employees sound pretty awful. I hope OP is able to find a good replacement for the employee who quit.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

The former coworker probably quit for another reason.

Jealousy will get you nowhere.
