‘Now I am working a job that pays me almost 50% more’: Manager scoffs at request for a raise, so employee leaves him high and dry

It's not easy asking for a raise. It's stressful and anxiety inducing, but if you have a good manager they take it seriously and try their hardest to give it to you. But the internet seems to make it clear that there are not many good managers out there. Just look at this short and sweet story that is the epitome of this. 

OP puts it plain and simple: They asked for a raise and their manager responded with rudeness and immaturity. OP poised their case with good reasoning on why they deserve a raise. It wasn't only that there were more duties added to their role, but also that their normal life expenses have gone up due to the inflation and other aspects. Instead of the manager responding with professionalism and empathy, he responded by wishing him good luck finding a new job and he "hopes he gets paid what he thinks he's worth." 

Well, the manager might have said that with sarcasm, but the employee took it seriously. He left him high and dry and found a much better job that gave him an almost 50% pay raise with benefits and then some. OP probably would've just taken a job that treated him with professionalism.
