I’ve been promised a ‘promotion’ since the end of my first month, including a raise, but no moving forward on it all this time. I found another job and gave notice, because I do have respect for and like my direct supervisor.

I told him I was leaving in Monday. Today, Thursday, I was given a phone number to call to get my benefits started and was asked to log into my company profile on the ‘recruiter’s’ laptop. He then proceeded to take the laptop and officially apply to this position for me, after I told him I was leaving the company.
