‘Hey, I tried to help’: Blue collar guy ends up managing his old workplace frenemy, so he promotes him to a higher position where he can ‘shine’ and where the work is loathsome

A blue collar worker was excited to leaven his last job and start anew. He had been working too closely to a man who quickly turned into an enemy. He played it cool his entire career there, but after he left, he was glad to be rid of him. However, a few months later he gets a promotion out of the blue. He is excited and happy for this opportunity! He was ready to hold a higher title and make more money. However, we he got to the new workplace, guess who was there? Yup, his frenemy. At least now he was his manager, but he still was not excited for that. 

After a while of difficult work with him, he gets the opportunity to promote him. Now, he knows this promotion includes back-breaking work that no one likes to do, but it also provides a lot of good connections with higher ups and potential for a "permanent contract." The frenemy was not happy about this promotion, but also couldn't pass it up. Thank goodness too, because now he would no longer be this blue collar manager's problem. 

Another promotion came through that he was offered but knew it was actually loathsome. So what did he do? He recommended his old frenemy for it! (He still didn't get it lol)
