So about 4 weeks ago now I left a job I had been doing for 10 years. I liked the job, and I was very good at it. Over ten years I had become an unofficial supervisor. When something went wrong mgmt would call me in to take care of the issue. It was no skin off my back I liked what I did and it was not a burden. For many years I worked training new employees on how to do the same job as well. At that time I was told repeatedly by my mgmt that I was one of the best performing employees at what I did. In ten years I had never gotten anything less than excellent in a yearly performance review.
A supervisory position opened up and I submitted my application for it. I did not get the promotion but someone who had been at the company longer than I had did so I had no complaints about how it turned out. Several months later another supervisor position opened up and I applied for that. After all of the years working at being the best at what I did that I could be, all of the excellent performance reviews, after training more then 100 employees I was not even given an interview for the position.
The person that got the job had been doing the same work I had for three years and was a person that I trained on how to do the work. He was a great guy but he was now my supervisor, he now made more money than me, he had less experience, he knew less about the ins and outs of the position. to top that off a friend told me about a conversation that a person in mgmt had with them and had told them that I would not be promoted or considered for promotion. I was pretty teed off that a manager would have that conversation with anyone other than me considering it was about my role as an employee.
I quit with no notice and start my new job next week making more money for less work. the benefits are better, as an added bonus my transportation costs fall to zero and I get a 3000 dollar hiring bonus on top of it all.
DO NOT BE AFFRAID TO QUIT if you are being mis-treated you never know what may happen you can only be affraid of what is right in front of you.
