Man, this boss was clearly blind to their own ignorant toxicity. If you're going to hire someone and pay them double the person that is training the new person, there is clearly a monstrous hole in your logic. And then for the employee to take that well warranted concern to their boss, and have it thrown right back in their face? Get out of there with that. Fortunately, it sounds like inconsiderate boss learned their lesson.

    Text - 1 year has passed and I was put in comercial proposal for sales, I was one in a team of three (me included).

    Text - Okay, things were great, right? WRONG! I was left in the department ALONE. Besides having to do the work of 2, I had to teach someone to help me, so actually I was making my job, my friend Ed's and my boss'. The best part was finding out that the girl I was teaching was making DOUBLE my money for the same work hours (~$560,00/month). The new girl had just started learning and COULD NOT be sending our clients our quotes for the jobs, but She complained about my teaching and everything She

    Text - I now allowed the new girl to talk freely with our clients and do her work as I did mine. She insisted in asking for my advices on all matters, e-mails, doubts, projects and many more. Most of the time I helped, but it started to be so frequent that I started not helping anymore. Like, wasn't She being held back by me? FYI: My contract was about to end by May/2019, so there only was a couple months before it ended. Before my contract ended, I sat down with my boss so we could discuss my n

    Text - This was followed by this conversation: Boss: Why are you refusing the payment? It's more than enough for someone your age (19 by the time). HR: Why are you declining our offer? Me: Because l am the only person in the department that knows how to work in every other department, plus both "boss" and "new girl" don't know how to do my work. Boss: THAT'S NOT TRUE.

    Text - Me: "New girl" makes double my payment, She is 3 years older than me and knows not even half of what I TRIED to teach her. Both HR and Boss: *Surprised Pikachu face* (° o°) (°o °) Boss: If you don't accept what we are willing to pay you, you don't have to keep coming. Me: Ok. Then i will bring my uniform and my papers to you tomorrow. Boss: WAIT! YOU CAN'T JUST GO OUT LIKE THIS! Me: I can.

    Text - Boss: ... okay then... The next day I brought my papers, uniform and told my now ex co-workers that I was leaving and got my messages and e-mails to be fowarded automatically to the new girl's e-mail and phone number. (I had aproximatedly 150 negociations ongoing and was responsible for 6 out of 8 affiliated factories that constantly sent me e-mails.
