I'm using a throwaway account for obvious reasons. Apologies if this post doesn't belong in this sub.
I'm sure this is pretty common so I would like some feedback and advice about a situation I find myself in. I am leaving my job and gave a 3 week notice to help smooth the transition. A day after I put in my notice, an email went out to everyone in my department except me announcing salary increases. Today I found out that the increase reflected the entire last pay period (we get paid monthly), including the weeks before I gave notice. I used to be one of the highest paid employees in my department but now for this month and the ten days I work in the next pay period, I will be among the lowest paid. I am very angry and I feel like it is one last dig at me before I leave. Am I taking this too personally or would you feel similarly in my shoes? If it makes a difference, I have put years of blood, sweat, and tears into this job. I was consistently a high performer and I would do extra work and take on extra responsibility without any additional compensation. Advocating for higher pay has historically been seen as “toxic” behavior. I'm just looking for opinions on whether or not this is reasonable behavior on my company's part or if my anger is justified.
