I experienced something similar to this when I applied internally to a role that I had actually been doing for several months. I had been taking on duties two management levels above me, like the author of this story, thanks to two vacant positions. I had previously agreed to take on my manager's role temporarily, foolishly without secondment or additional pay, not thinking that it would be vacant for months. My manager's manager, who had asked me to do this soon, also left, leaving a disastrous lack of structure at the location where I worked and in the region. But, when I applied for the very role that I had been filling, I was laughed out of the room by the HR manager, who noted my "lack of experience…"
Although I also left soon afterward, the conclusion of my experience wasn't quite as satisfying as the author in this story, who shared online detailing how they left their job for one that paid 32% more after their contributions weren't properly recognized and rewarded by their employer.
See their original story below, followed by reactions from the employment community where it was shared.
