I Refused to Work Overtime Without Extra Pay—Now HR Is Intervening / Bright Side

Hello The bright side,
I have been with my company for 7 years.
Over the past two years, my manager has kept… Increase my workload With a promise of promotion soon. He gave me Extra work I did it for free almost every day, even on weekends, saying it would prepare me for the team manager position.
Yesterday, I finally stood up to him in front of the entire office and said: “No! Go find another doll!” He smiled and nodded. Then he shook my hand. I felt so proud to finally stand up for myself.
Today, imagine my horror when I went to work and found my colleague sitting in the manager’s office…The position I was aiming for.
I tried to stay positive, but all my doubts were confirmed when HR sent an email to the entire company. I froze when I read: “Please join us in congratulating Samantha R., who has been promoted to Team Manager…”
I felt very wronged. Samantha always left work at six, while I worked overtime for years.
When I confronted HR, they said they planned to promote me, but yelling at my manager in front of the team showed that. I wasn’t ready to drive. They added that hard work is not everything, Attitude and professionalism It matters too.
I was speechless. I’ve been a model employee for 7 years, and now I feel lost. I don’t want to leave after that Investment A lot, but I feel too Deeply oppressed.
Was I wrong? What should I do now?
Florence
