'I refuse to settle... I'm applying elsewhere': Hardworking lab technician quits after getting denied a promotion but having his workload doubled anyways
More work equals more money. It's the golden rule of business, but in most company environments, this simple equation gets over-complicated with variables like pizza parties, 'company culture', and bosses saying that you're a family. The planned mystification of wages in the workplace goes all the way up the ladder, but for many workers, the mysteries that lie behind their salary are infinite.
Apart from the HR lady who initially signed every employee up for direct deposit, most workers struggle to ever pin down whomever is responsible for their pay. The pinball effect of bouncing the responsibility to someone else or 'needing to circle back' 400x before ever discussing a raise is what keeps most workers under their preferred pay. Well, for one hardworking research lab technician, u/Ddaeng_chick, they were tired of having their bosses forget the golden rule. Keep scrolling to read the full story of how one employee saw right through the veil of salaried mysteries and decided to take their wages into their own hands.
Next up on the list, here's a story of a guy who taught his employer a lesson by charging an arm-and-a-leg on a consultation meeting that could have been an email.
