A woman claims she was passed up for a promotion that was given to someone else she trained in a viral TikTok video.
The video features Katya (@katyarilatos) as she vents her frustrations while eating in her car. The overlay text reads, “Literally screaming on the inside.” She begins the video, asking the question, “Have you ever had a job where you do everything, you know everything, you train everyone? Well, I’m that person at my job.”
Katya proceeds to explain what happened at her job of four years. Her job opened up a supervisor position she applied for. Katya was met with a slap to the face when her job announced who earned the position. She shared how a person she trained was given the position over her. The caption reflected her dismay, reading, “Venting… its so upsetting to work so hard and for what?”
