5 years of daily overtime and effort to get this kind of backstabbing treatment.
I went above and beyond designing products to bring to the market. I saved the company hundreds of thousands by reformulating a product and preventing a recall. Modernized our quality system and learned regulatory requirements to train our team.
All this and I was only worth a 2% raise. But I'm being priced out of my city and with gas getting more expensive, moving further away is a bleak option. When I told my manager I was struggling, I was met with shrugs and promises of future rewards that I'd heard before.
The very next time I took a day off, my coworkers informed me that my manager had interviewed someone FOR MY POSITION. A supervisor they're friends with let them know that the plan was to have me train the new person and let me go when they were up to speed.
Well fuck em. I stopped updating my project records and did everything by memory. I applied to literally hundreds of jobs over the next month and finally got an offer for a significant raise over my current role.
I've put my notice that my last day will be the day before the my 'replacement' starts. Have fun picking up all my work that I haven't taken notes on in a month.
