'If you're being serious, I quit': Employee saves Fortune 500 company whopping $20 million in profits, denied promotion, offered 2% raise instead, employee quits

Employees are being taken for granted like the sky is blue, the grass is green, and your grandmother makes the best potato chips you've ever tasted in your entire life (sorry, Mom). Being underappreciated brings up so much sour rage that you ask yourself why the companies still find it worth it to ignore stellar employees, denying them a good salary, better working conditions, and promotions. It doesn't make any logical sense. If somebody is doing a good job, wouldn't you want to reward them, motivate them, and create a comfortable feeling so that they continue to excel?

Nope, apparently not, as this story comes to tell us. A worker took to r/maliciouscompliance, sharing an ongoing case of MC where they had been denied a promotion and offered a 2% raise after saving the company a whopping 20 million dollars. They were still told that they did not 'exceed expectations' in an annual review, which flustered them so much they just quit.
