Been underpaid and overworked at my job for a year and a half. Waited 3 months for my annual performance review when everyone else’s was done. Verbally abused by coworkers and misunderstood by my manager, ignored when I threw my back out doing unrealistic amounts of work by myself.
I got a 4% raise on $55,000 and a 4% bonus. Insulting as I got 10% for both last year and worked my ass off and got a glowing performance review this year.
Went through 3 rounds of interviews for a company since early February and a test assignment for them and they offered me a job that results in lots of perks such as WFH option, more pay, bigger bonuses, closer to home, and 100% paid health insurance where I was paying $300/month before.
My old job asked me to give more than two weeks, that was the most pathetic plea and I said no with confidence. Cue to “I wish you told us earlier” and “we were going to promote you (for the same pay) in 3 months”
Nah, thanks anyway. I won’t miss anyone except the IT dude who sold me weed.
