I quit my job yesterday due to a toxic work environment

I worked for a marketing firm. Things seemed great for the first few months but then their true colors came out. I brought up concerns about how I was being treated, and that I didn’t feel the work I produced was valued, or appreciated. I ran social media for 6+ accounts, did graphic work, video editing, copywriting, social media strategies, client proposals, analyzed data, research, the list goes on. When I brought up these concerns, their response was “we will agree to disagree.” Didn’t seem appropriate or professional in any way shape or form. Yesterday, I was working on a content calendar, and making some edits for the client. My boss called me because she saw that I was in the document….doing my job, and she decided it would be appropriate to yell at me and give me attitude….all for doing my job and what I was hired to do…

I asked for a raise today and I actually got one…

I knew I was being underpaid so I called my boss and explained I wanted a raise or would leave. Within 24 hours I was given a 15% raise. My attitude going forward will be to speak up and ask for what I want instead of waiting forever to get a raise otherwise.
