    r/antiwork Posted by u/__brea 13 hours ago Quitting my HR job with no notice. 4 Incoming rant because I don't have many people in my life to listen. My company has 650 employees. HR is a team of myself (HR Assistant) and my boss (HR Director).

    I've worked here for 4 years and haven't received a pay raise since 2021. Which was only $1 to begin with. Despite so many promises from the owners and HR Director. I'm paid less than $25 an hour. My boss makes six figures.

    My boss is HARDLY here. I would estimate she works 25 hours per week while I regularly work 40- 55. She also gets to work from home routinely. I was told I cannot because technically it's only for high level execs.

    The abuse of power by my boss is crazy and the owners shrug their shoulders and turn a blind eye all because she's married to one of their sons! I'm basically doing what should be at least 3-4 peoples worth of work a week.

    Long story short, I'm quite young and only have experience, no degree. So for awhile I thought this is the best it could get given my lack of degree. But I've just gotten a much better paying offer where I will be apart of a REAL team and can work from home 3 times per week.

    I'm quitting this Friday. No notice. My boss will be doomed with year-end projects and she has a vacation to Hawaii planned in December. I don't feel any remorse after countless times of being told "there's no way you can take those dates off, I'll need you here." And "you know the company can't budget in a pay raise right now, but give it 6 months! You'll see!"

    Oh and by the way, I'm the only person who knows how to use our HRIS (HR computer software). Good luck to them! No one else ever bothered to learn it. Because they rely on me.

    I guess my only point in posting this here is to let it all out and to say: employers better treat people with respect, especially those who act as the glue holding a lot together. Because we can just walk out and leave companies struggling.

    Jimmy McPoyle_AZ. 11 hr. ago This is wonderful. As others have mentioned... do NOT tell them where you are going. Don't update LinkedIn, don't announce anything on social media.

    MyWayUntillPay Day 10 hr. ago I did this. it was epically awesome. You need me to close that $40k deal - AFTER you fired me? It will be $2k for the day payable upfront. I will not set foot in the building unless I have the CASH in my hand. Did they pay? naw... that is not the point. Being able to rub their noses in it... priceless.

    OFPMatt 12 hr. ago Corporate America really fleeced the workforce when they got everyone to use the word "team" when referring to coworkers. Well done, though, OP. No remorse, no sadness, just a nice tall, cold one on Friday. Screw them.
