Has one of your coworkers ever become your supervisor?

My direct supervisor was once a colleague,

[Lliam]

Yes.
The thing is, I worked as a motor vehicle damage field adjuster/appraiser. I really liked working in the field all day and had no interest in becoming a supervisor, being in the office most of the time, answering complaints and putting out fires.
I made a good salary, as much as some supervisors, and had excellent benefits.

Most people wanted to make supervisor and move up in the company.
I was friends with every coworker who became my supervisor. It was no problem.

I was next in line for manager and when it came up, I really wasn't thrilled about it. One of my coworkers, a subordinate in fact, asked if she should apply for it. Not only did I want her to, I told her that I'd help teach her the stuff that she needed to learn. I was glad, I didn't have to be manager and she got a job paying considerably more.

I honestly don't think anything should be wrong with this

[Soapsoaplady]

Yes in my last job but only for a short while as I left

[Staglioni]

I have been the coworker who became the supervisor, but because I know how it is for normal employees and I give a damn about my guys management hates me now🤣

[Friendlybro79]

Yes. It was fine. We were adults about it.
