'[I] asked for a raise... Got fired:' Overworked employee asks for reasonable raise but gets terminated instead

Have you ever been fired? It never feels fair. But maybe after a few weeks, when you've cool off, it starts to feel like the right path for you anyways. However, sometimes you're getting fired and you know it's a gross injustice and it will never not be there. What can you do about that? Well, this Redditor decided to burn some bridges on his way out. But honestly, good for him. All OP did was ask for a raise, and instead he got canned. He's the only employee who has been there since he stated (red flag #1 tbh), and he trains all the newbies, who also tend to not stay very long (red flag #2). So when he asked for a reasonable raise, the manager used every tactic in the book to get around it. OP wasn't having it and instead just walked away. So that lead to him being fired, a gross injustice, but hey, welcome to corporate America!
