'Go get another offer': Boss tells employee to get an offer elsewhere to justify their request for a raise, cue malicious compliance

This employee just did what they were told to do...

 

What happens when you realize your coworker gets paid 20% more than you and you ask your horrible boss if you can get paid equally, especially considering how much extra work you have been taking on? Well, apparently, your horrible boss tells you to get a competitive offer somewhere else to justify your request for a raise… Ok, boss. You got it.

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/inertzero, shows how pointless and unproductive these kinds of negotiations are… because what happened when the employee complied and got that competitive offer? They went ahead and took it! And now their horrible boss has to find a new employee willing to take on all those extra responsibilities that the Redditor took on. We doubt that it will be an easy search.
