'I should get a bump in pay too': Boss pays new hire 20% more, denies employee the same rate, employee gets a better job elsewhere
Bosses should never underestimate their employees' ability to get the pay they want somewhere else. This dude not only denied their overworked loyal employee the raise they deserved, but they also had the audacity to tell them that the only way they could negotiate a higher salary is if they got a competitive offer at another company. Either this guy wanted his employee to leave (and his team's productivity level to implode) or he really underestimated the Redditor's ability to find a better job.
It turns out, of course, that it was no problem at all. The employee not only got a better job but they were able to return to a previous employer and a much better manager. They shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. Once again, this story proves that if bosses want to establish a sense of loyalty among their employees, the best way to do that is to pay them fairly and to be transparent. The main reason why this employee left was due to her boss's inability to recognize their value and how serious they were about leaving. Well, it seems like he probably had to deal with those consequences, since no one on the team was nearly as productive as this employee was.
