I got a job offer today which had great timing after being told I wasn't going to be considered for a promotion at my current place so I let my boss know.
He came in and asked why I was leaving and I gave it to him straight. The culture that head office brings is absolutely toxic and disrespectful, and I'm not there to just be a “yes man” and push through shady shit because the general manager wants to.
His attempt to persuade me to stay was saying how he could every one in the office raises (then do it, like it's been promised SEVERAL times for the more senior staff), and how when he started he only intended to be there a few months so he didn't bother trying to learn anything (which is why the previous office manager hated him).
Of course you don't want me to leave! I do your job for you so you can nap in your office and ask me basic questions you should know! You try to vaguely hint that people are talking shit but oh you're not going to say what it is. Or how head office has “big plans” for me but you can't mention what it is.
I'm peacing the hell out it's honestly such a relief. CRASH AND BURN MY DUDE
