I work at a company who’s been boasting about record profits and blah blah blah.
Long story short, I got a new job that pays me $30k more a year.
My current company asked me to stay while only offering me $7k more a year.
I simply asked my boss to tell me why I would leave $23k on the table to keep working there. He said “because we like you here”.
You like me? Pay me.
In all seriousness, this sub has taught me to value myself more by exposing the corporate greed workers are kept under. So thank you for allowing me to confidently give myself a raise.
