I feel so stupid for trusting them, but here I am.
Took a significant pay cut ($20k) for this job under the agreement they would make me a manager and give me a raise, but I had to move first for them to do this. Been with them for 11 months, and moved to the home office 6 months ago.
There’s been no movement on the position, even after having multiple discussions with them on my concerns and frustrations on this. They also still owe me about $4k in moving bonus money that they said was approved, but are now backpedaling and saying they still need approval on.
The company has been “bleeding money,” so I imagine that’s why there’s been no movement on my bonus, promotion, and raise, but they won’t give me any details or just straight up ignore me.
I was SUPER fortunate to land a new job that pays what I was making before, and start right after Thanksgiving. How my employer is handling my situation and how my SO and I have been struggling in our new state made it a no-brainer to take this new job.
I don’t think I should give them notice. A part of me wants to be vindictive on this and just send an email during Thanksgiving break saying I’m not going back. Kinda treat them how they’ve been treating me. I know my SO will say to give them the notice and see if they can give us the bonus, but I honestly don’t see that happening, considering everything. I really want to put this past us, count our loses, and work towards moving back home.
If any of you were this situation, would you give them notice, or go scorched earth? My job was never defined and can be easily absorbed. The one coworker this impacts knows already, and I’ve told her I’ll do what’s left on my plate so it’s not a hard transition. She’s been super supportive and understanding, but if she does say anything, at this point I don’t really care. And of course, I wouldn’t come back to this job if they offered the world.
Thanks!
