'My boss met with me and cried': Boss breaks down when employee gets new job they were told they were unqualified for
Too many employers don't truly value their worker's contributions — or outwardly appear to in order to devalue their going rate.
This strategy manifests itself as a weird employment form of "negging" (if you don't know what this is, consider yourself lucky) in which the employer/manager will attempt to reduce the employee's self-worth to keep them underfoot — and thus underpaid. It's a fine strategy, albeit with some moral and ethical quandaries, but backfires as soon as the employee builds up the courage to look elsewhere and discovers how undervalued they truly are.
These employers will waste time and resources training new hires just to have this process repeat itself over and over again — never learning the lesson or saving themselves (and their workers) from this Sisyphean fate.
That's what happened when this employee was repeatedly told they were unqualified for work they wanted to take on — but their departure would leave their employer in tears.
Keep reading to see this thread as it was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit.
