Denied a raise.

After 4.5 years of hard work in this job with a horrible boss I was told I didn't get approved for a raise. I'm severely underpaid and overworked. Never call in sick and give my all to this job. I'm an educator in a specialized field and I love what I do. I broke down in front of my boss and cried after they told me. I told my boss I feel used and unappreciated with everything I have done for this company. I regret crying but it's been years of being abused by my boss and treated like shit. It's just a culmination of negative feelings. I don't get paid enough or a living wage. I'm doing managerial duties even though that's not in my job description. I made our organization successful and implemented processes that have made things efficent. I feel like my ideas were stolen to benefit…


After 4.5 years of hard work in this job with a horrible boss I was told I didn't get approved for a raise. I'm severely underpaid and overworked. Never call in sick and give my all to this job. I'm an educator in a specialized field and I love what I do.

I broke down in front of my boss and cried after they told me. I told my boss I feel used and unappreciated with everything I have done for this company. I regret crying but it's been years of being abused by my boss and treated like shit. It's just a culmination of negative feelings. I don't get paid enough or a living wage. I'm doing managerial duties even though that's not in my job description. I made our organization successful and implemented processes that have made things efficent. I feel like my ideas were stolen to benefit a company that doesn't give a crap about their employees. My narcissistic boss as usual lying about why it was denied giving excuses and saying they will keep fighting for me ( I don't believe them at all).

I feel utterly broken. But I'm on the hunt for a new job and that itself is a demeaning process. It's been hard to feel motivated when I see low salaries everywhere. It's just soul sucking. Being abused by a toxic boss doesn't help with my confidence. But this sub has really helped me not feel alone.
