The Sales and HR Managers accused the employee of being “disloyal, unprofessional” and of “taking advantage of the system.”
The employee had resigned after accepting a promotion.
Changing jobs is often seen as a natural part of career growth. When a better opportunity arises that offers more perks and benefits, it is common for individuals to decide to move on. However, one such employee at a company faced consequences for doing just that. A user on Reddit shared how his colleague was “reprimanded” for resigning from the company after accepting a promotion. “One of my colleagues in the sales team recently got promoted from Coordinator to Supervisor. He accepted the promotion, took the revised salary, but before officially starting the new responsibilities, he resigned for a better opportunity at another hotel,” the Redditor wrote.
The Sales and HR Managers were upset with his decision and publicly reprimanded him. They accused him of being “disloyal, unprofessional” and of “taking advantage of the system.” This led to a discussion among his colleagues with many agreeing that his actions were wrong.
The user questioned the logic behind this reprimand, saying, “If he hadn’t been performing, and there was downsizing, the company wouldn’t have thought twice before letting him go. They wouldn’t talk about him. They wouldn’t talk about loyalty. They’d just say it was a business decision — and move on.”
The user then asked, “So why is it such a problem when he makes a decision that’s good for him?”

The post gained significant attention, with social media users weighing in on the situation.
One user commented, “He did what he felt was best for himself and his family. You get an opportunity to see how mature your leaders are. He got the opportunity to see what it could have been like if he had stayed. Every coin has 2 sides and you just scratched the surface. I’m glad that you understood the scenario and posted respectfully.”
Another said, “He made the best decision.”
“Nothing wrong. Not like companies don’t fire people out of nowhere. Are employees allowed to reprimand HR publicly for this?” a person remarked.
However, a user who identified as an HR professional shared a broader perspective, pointing out that HR managers “have no right to reprimand him publicly.”
“It could’ve been a private conversation and they should’ve dealt with the matter accordingly. Also, the HR should have a thick skin with these kinds of issues, as it will happen more than once in their career. That is why many companies offer the new promotional salary three months into the new role, with back pay,” they wrote.
The HR user also warned that the colleague who resigned might face challenges in future interviews, writing, “Regardless, your friend will get stuck one time or the other in a new interview if he keeps going on like this. He wouldn’t be able to explain his previous departure and background company checks would be a mess.”
