Antiwork

I have my bills and rent to pay. I don't have a second income and my current job underpays me. I've been here for almost five years and with my “promotion” I still don't even make the market rate for what my salary should be. So I have been looking for new jobs like crazy. Management here sucks for many reasons outside of the bad pay too. Almost everyone within my department has abruptly quit to leave instead of giving two weeks. And I will be doing the same.

Boss: And why is that? Me: Because [other coworker] was making that. Boss: Shit. How do you know that? How did this come up? Me: It came up. Team lead: Heavy sigh. Boss: Well, I'm going to have a talk with him. He told you? Me: I asked. Boss: You know you're not supposed to talk about pay, right?
