Earlier this week my 16 yo truck with 146k miles needed work and they said it would cost $7500 to fix it. I told my boss, I need a raise, as I can't afford to fix it and I can't afford to replace it. I called our competitor who wants me to work for them and they made me an offer. So Friday, I went to work late, packed my shit and left with no notice whatsoever. I start for the competition at $4/hr more tomorrow and am getting a newer truck later this week.
