If you're looking for a sign, this is it. Is your boss treating you as if you're easily disposable, adding additional work duties that are not technically a part of your job description? Maybe it's time you look for a place where you'll be appreciated — where you won't be taken for granted, a place that will properly compensate you for the amount of work you do.

In an earlier post, you'll find I wrote about a tired employee, working on an understaffed team at a restaurant, who shared his 'horrible boss' experience with Reddit. This boss instructed him to do things that weren't a part of his job description. We've all been there... they're the worst. Furthermore, he told u/Dio_bean (the worker) to go and do a 'deep clean', so this employee did what anyone else would — he maliciously complied. You can check out the full story here.

So, a lot has happened since then — apparently, u/Dio_bean quit and found a better job that pays double what he's making now. His boss was unhappy about it, so he decided to try bribing him to stay… drumroll please… with a 25-cent raise. Scroll down to read his detailed account below.
