After extensive talks with my senior teammates, managers and owners of my company, they are not willing to budge on my compensation plan. I told them I had a bottom line or I would be looking for other employment. They did not meet my bottom line.
There is a lot more that goes into this but I have not been treated well or respected by my managers and fellow teammates for over 5 years, while sacrificing my work/life balance to increase sales numbers and develop relationships.
I even did an entire business review/sales sheet/revenue generation outline to justify why I should make what I'm asking for.
Now my manager has been calling me and texting me every few days wondering how my interviews are going and if I've found another job. I don't have to tell him any of this info do I? It's going to be very hard to replace me in the position that I'm in since I'm in a really niche market in an area that isn't the most popular to live in. I know he's probably just trying to cover his ass but it's beginning to get annoying and my answers haven't changed every time he asks.
How should I respond?
