I love my actual job and my clients, but my companies management all suck. I’m pretty independent and do my work, keep my head down, get paid well and everyone leaves me alone so I’m happy.
One of my coworkers been around for a few years, and was expecting his promotion because it’s time. He got it. Without a raise…..usually with that promotion is a 10% raise. And they gave him zero because they’re trying to control budget even though we’ve never been more profitable.
What kind of idiot management does that. He was super upset obviously, but he took the title so he could look at other jobs. He found one.
Then he quit. On the spot without giving his two weeks. He’s working on a product that’s brand new and nobody knows, so multiple clients became stranded and now management is scrambling like hell trying to find someone to help the clients. I’m not helping, i don’t know the new product and have zero incentive to help.
I’m so proud of this guy. Stick it to this incompetent management team. Promoting someone without increasing their pay is so idiotic and the company fully deserved what happened. Wish I had the balls to do something like this but I’m in so deep in my job it’s hard to find anywhere else where I’d be this content (minus the incompetent management team that I rarely deal with)
Tbh I hope we go bankrupt because then I can become an independent contractor and not deal with them at all.
