In a professional supervisor-subordinate relationship, expectations come from both sides. Managers expect their team members to do their jobs well, and employees want their managers to keep their word.

Not all professional relationships are perfect. It could either be the employee or the manager who's in the wrong.

But the story we're looking at today is the fault of the manager. Let's face it.

We all hate "carrot dangler" bosses. During the hiring process, we're promised all those good things and benefits.

But the moment we get in, we find out from people within the company that those promises aren't happening anytime soon. More people nowadays are in search of fulfilling jobs.

So if the company or the manager breaks promises or fails to meet expectations, other employees tend to look for better opportunities. There are plenty of other jobs out there, so why stick with a company or a manager who can't keep their word?

A Redditor asked the Am I The A**hole (AITA) community if he was wrong for not approving a new hire's leave. During the application process, the applicant made it clear that she will accept the job only if she'll be granted her leave request.

But since the other employees filed for time off that day, he couldn't approve her leave. Let's see what happens next.

The new hire's leave was a non-negotiable.

The manager didn't keep his word.

The new hire quit too soon.

The original poster's question to the community.

Now, people don't want anything to do with the company the original poster is working for.

If the manager granted her request, they wouldn't be understaffed in the long run.

Who's that next best person for the position? The original poster needs to think about this now.

Power moves no longer work. He probably needs to realize that.

Not all people are willing to put up with what the original poster did.

If the manager kept his word, there'd be no problem.

A redditor thinks that the original poster should be fired.

Sadly, there are companies who think employees are slaves.

It was clear from the start what the new hire needed before she entered the company.

There are plenty of companies out there willing to respect an employee's wishes.

We hope the manager learned his lesson.

A redditor noticed something else with the original post.

Calling the new hire "girl" didn't set well with people.

It looks like the manager still displaying his "power" on his Reddit post.

This situation reveals who he is as a manager. Did he realize his mistake?

A lot of times, it's all the manager's fault.

It was this simple.

The manager now has to deal with the consequences of not keeping his word.

Managers should stop relying on power moves. It no longer works for people who know they deserve better.

Statistics show that new hires who leave their jobs within 45 days are up to 20%.

Among the top reasons behind this is companies don't follow through with the expectation they set with the new hire during the hiring process. This is bad for the business as they already spent a good amount of time and money when recruiting these people.

Unfortunately, what these companies don't realize is that the fault is sometimes committed by their managers.
