He Said I Was “Management Material” — But It Was Just a Lie He told me I was “management material.” Said I was next in line. Said the title was coming — I just needed to prove myself. So I did. I worked 60-hour weeks for three months straight. Late nights. Missed weekends. No promotion. No raise. Just lies.

He Called It Commitment — HR Called It a Liability I once worked 18 days straight. No days off. No breaks. No sleep. He said I was “committed.” Called me an example. A rising star. But when HR found out? They didn’t see a leader. They saw a liability.
