I'm working for a small company(50 people, my team, IT is about 4) and recently got an offer from a big company(6000+ people, new team, about 80 people).
I have known him for 5 years and thought he was my friend more than my boss.
I did so many different things for the current company, even though my job title is UX designer.
- Created the public websites by myself(including all the contents, photos, videos, verbiages, interviews, and server setup)(15+ websites, marketing landing pages, and public websites).
- Processed audits, and setting up auditing processes, and services.
- Brand image development.
- Employee computer set up, fix,
- Created all the training materials, and gave training sessions.
- New tech implementations.
- Office 365 admin. (I'm the only one who knows how to use office 365 admin properly..)
- Several core operation features with RPA. (I'm the only one who knows how to fix and update..)
- Being an office admin(sometimes fixed wires and baths, too).
- Sometimes, translator, as well.
And yet, my salary nor title ever grew.
So I was looking for a job for about half a year, and luckily, I got a job!
I told my boss, and I thought he would be happy for me, but instead of that, he said “You're not ready for a new job. I'm giving you some advice here. You will regret leaving here, you need my protection.”
WTF?
I really wanted to give the company about 2 weeks to help them and properly transfer every knowledge I have to them, but now I really don't want to do that.
I'm thinking of talking to upper management about the situation, and if they have the same reaction, I will just quit without anything.
