Woman Doubles Salary With New Job, Hadn't Gotten a Raise in 10 Years

Wouldn't it just be easier for him to pay her what she's worth in the first place rather than have to go out and find someone to replace her? Wouldn't it just be smarter to acknowledge her value much sooner? 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the woman's son, u/nannerooni (OP), who posted the thread to the popular sub to share his mother's story and experiences with her previous employer.

u/nannerooni explains that her boss was "filthy rich" but was as tight as he could be when rewarding the people who helped him get there. When the OP's mother told him of her offer, he offered to pay her more and admitted, "I haven't been paying you the value you are worth to me."

Commenters voiced their support for the OP's mother and wished bad fortune on the employer and others like them.
