Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I have been working at a corporation for 12 months in a contract position. My manager offered to make me a salaried employee in the same role with a salary jump and the applicable benefits. She asked for a verbal commitment from me to stay in the position for 18 months. I was really uncomfortable with the idea since I had already been working there a year and they had previously offered me salary 6 months into the job which I declined out of respect to them since I had thought at the time I was going to be returning to school within a year, which did not work out.

I was afraid my manager would not offer me the position if I declined her ultimatum so I agreed knowing realistically I probably wouldn’t be able to honour it. I found another job within the company and applied for it within a few months, now my manager is pissed saying I had given her my word to stay for 18 months. But I’ve talked to other managers in the company and unanimously they found it weird she would ask that. 

I know I’m an idiot for doing what I did, but am I the asshole too?
