Antiwork

I have been working at this company for over 2 years. I asked for $5,000 more. The best they could come up with is $2,000 more potentially after 6 months. So I then went out and got a different job offer offering $7,000 more. I guess you can say I won't be sticking around long.

I handed in my 1 month notice last week. Boss is upset that I didn’t take a counteroffer matching the money (15% raise).l but with HUGE additional responsibilities. I shrug it off, and actually put in some crazy hard work this past week. Boss called me in today ‘How come you are buzzing this past week and surpassing expectations left right and centre?’ Bitch because I’m happy, someone else is going to pay me what I’m worth and you guys have suddenly realised what I’m worth too. You turned me down for promotion the last 2 years’ Fuck them, I’m out.

This morning I received a call from my work place. A woman informed me that I had an old paycheck to collect. She went on to detail that she was the new manager, and that she OPENED MY MAIL to see if it was an “active” check (it is). This seems highly inappropriate and possibly illegal. I feel like if she was that concerned about the check, she could have called me or confirmed with payroll? I don’t feel comfortable at the prospect of working with her in the future. Opening my mail feels like a major boundary violation. I’m not sure what to do going forward- I’ve called HR and left a message about what happened, but am skeptical anything will actually happen. Thoughts?
