'I will not be disrespected like that': Employee discovers new hire got offered more money for the same job, quits on the spot
We know all too well at this point that your boss is not your friend. No matter how much it seems like they have your back, they almost certainly do not. Because the person above them and the person above them have tasks and duties and quotas for your boss to complete and fulfill. That's what your boss ultimately has to prioritize. Your pay and emotional well-being at the company? That's low priority, no matter how much "family talk" is thrown around on a day-to-day basis.
This thread was posted to Reddit by u/PmZ_Xt, who was promised a promotion once a new position was filled. The company had been looking to fill this position for four months now, and in the meantime, the remaining responsibilities were split between OP and their boss. Eventually, they did find someone, but it did not take long for the Redditor to learn that this new hire was making more than OP. When OP confronted their manager about this, they heard what I presume so many of us assumed about the state of hiring these days: in order to get people on board with competitive offers, you need to really "buy them," so to speak (a phrase that in and of itself makes me sick). Unfortunately, that does not mean ensuring that current employees are compensated fairly as a result. Thankfully, OP had enough sense to get out while they still could.
