Antiwork

My boss expected me to work for him forever.

-In March I sent my boss/the co-owner of the company an email asking for a little more money. It was like a 5 paragraph email, which ended with me saying I understood if he couldn't do it, but if not then I would start looking for a new job. Did he think about it? Did he discuss the matter with his wife, who is the other co owner? Nope. Less than a minute after I sent the email, he called me and screamed at me for asking for a raise. -In April I began a job hunt and eventually got hired by a company that wanted me so bad that they bent over backwards to get me to come work for them and I have a start date of June 12. -I told my boss on May 12 that I had a job offer, but hadn't made up my mind,…

-In April I began a job hunt and eventually got hired by a company that wanted me so bad that they bent over backwards to get me to come work for them and I have a start date of June 12.

-I told my boss on May 12 that I had a job offer, but hadn't made up my mind, expecting that he'd at least make me an offer to stay or ask what it would take for me to stay. He just never brought it up, so I told him on May 19 that I was finishing up and my last day is June 9.

-Him and his wife are weeks into their massive hissy fit about me leaving. Part of my punishment for leaving for more money is that he has since given me more money. Then to top it off, he tells me that when they hired me a year ago they expected me to work there until either retirement or the company went out of business. I just kinda stared at him when he said that.

Anyhoo, another punishment is he doesn't want to talk to me anymore, so instead of calling me 25x a day (no exaggeration) he calls me 2 or 3 times.
