An employee is not bound to accept a promotion, which is in the nature of a gift or reward. Refusal to be promoted is a valid exercise of a right. Such exercise cannot be considered an insubordination or willful disobedience of a lawful order of the employer, hence, it cannot be the basis of an employee’s dismissal from service. (Echo 2000 Commercial Corporation v. Obrero Pilipino Echo 2000 Chapter-CLO, Id.)
