Today was my last day at my job. This has a happy ending. My coworker is an idiot. Typical sales guy that’s all about “getting the deal”. I sold more than him because he can’t see that traditional sales tactics don’t work anymore and haven’t for like 20 years. I also ran operations and account management. Basically the GM without the pay or title. Small business – you “wear a lot of hats”
Anyways – about three weeks ago he demands a 20k raise and to be made my boss otherwise he’ll leave. he’s unhappy with my work and thinks he can manage me better. I don’t know the justification for this. I was doing my job and more just fine.
For reasons I cannot explain the owner agreed. I work in the IT industry. Theres no shortage of open jobs. I make a few calls go through the interview process and have an offer within a week.
I submitted my two weeks and all hell breaks loose. The owner finally realized how much he fucked up and tried to keep me. All I had to do was tell him my new salary and he just shut down and got depressed. Now all of my responsibilities were moved to my “new boss” and he goes fucking ballistic that I won’t be doing the work for him. I won’t lie my last two weeks there were very entertaining watching them stumble around. They’ll probably be fine but now mr. sales man will finally have to do something for himself.
My coworker got himself a 20k raise and a shit ton more responsibility.
I got a 95k raise and never have to work with that idiot again. (To be honest I cried when I got my offer letter. I never thought I would be making this amount of money in my life)
