Discussion on question by Pender: Senior engineer suddenly unwilling to do extra work they used to do after being denied promotion

Does this answer your question? How can I deal with troublesome Professional Engineer?

How come this question keeps popping up once in a while without being a duplicate? This is at least the 4th question of this kind that I see, and it seems to always follow the same pattern.

This is a question that has at least two eerily similar questions about how people (badly) treat engineers - what do they expect? See workplace.stackexchange.com/q/145709/75821

I'm always amazed by these question, and not in a good way. "We screwed our employee and now he's not happy. Why?" - It should be fairly evident to you.

It warms my heart to see greedy and clueless management and bosses who don't stand up for their team members get what they deserve sniff. Happens not nearly often enough.
