Boss denies employee's request for resigned worker's accounts, assigns to coworker, then begs original employee for help when coworker struggles: 'Every part of me wants to tell them to pound sand'

There's nothing worse than trying to voice your opinion and stand up for yourself at work, only for the conversation to be one-sided and your boss to ignore your concerns completely. That's exactly what happened to this employee. After one of his coworkers resigned, he went to his boss to say that he was capable of taking on his coworker's accounts. He had been working at the company for a while and was ready to prove himself. Only for his boss to pass him over and give all the accounts to another coworker. The original employee tried to offer to split the accounts between the two managers, but the boss wasn't having it. That is, until the coworker who acquired the accounts started struggling to keep up with his workload. Now, the boss is begging the original employee to help out, just like he offered in the first place. But you won't believe the offer the boss gave him. It perfectly warrants the original employee's notion to tell them to "pound sand."
