| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Riley. |
| 0:01.4 | And this is Keon, your favorite OKStortime host, and we've got some great stories coming up. |
| 0:06.1 | But before we get to that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep the show alive. |
| 0:11.2 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:15.9 | My manager made me believe I'm getting promoted, but it was promised to someone else. That's messed up. |
| 0:22.1 | Six months ago, my manager went on parental leave, and I was put in his role. A manager explicitly |
| 0:27.7 | said after coming back, he would not resume his role because he didn't enjoy it anymore. |
| 0:32.9 | We all knew it, so when I got temporarily promoted, they told me that I would be offered the position permanently if I performed highly these six months. By the way, this comes from Adventurous Wash 3201, and if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash-O-K Storytime subreddit, and I'm Angie. I'm Sophia.

| 1:17.6 | He's so clingy. |
| 1:19.0 | He's so annoying. |
| 1:21.3 | Today I called my manager on parental leave and asked him what's up and why I didn't get a confirmation. |
| 1:26.9 | And he told me oh yeah this other |
| 1:29.3 | colleague who was hired when I got the position was promised the position when he signed but they first said |
| 1:35.9 | he had to do some work but when I'll be back he was going to get the job so he is the one that's getting the |
| 1:41.8 | role what what the actual heck? |
| 1:45.4 | I feel so used. |
| 1:48.2 | Also, because I worked so hard and delivered way beyond my targets. |
