Short story as I hate typing on the phone:

I am a mid-level manager. Promotion opens up in my plant and most blue collars root for me to get it as I am quite popular. I apply and nominate my right hand guy as my successor, a fantastic person.

Corporate rejects cause “I am not ready” and hires externally a narcissistic asshole with no experience in our sector. A year passes. KPIs are destroyed, turnover is through the roof, my right hand guy quits with my blessings.

I just handed my resignation since I finally found a better job only to find out that guy that got the job I wanted quit 2 hours before me. Upper management offered me the job but I refused with a laugh.
