Being best friends with your boss almost never ends well. In this case, this friendship plummeted along with their employment agreement.

This finance employee stayed at the company after he was given a raise to match another job opportunity that came his way. After choosing to stay, his boss, who was a close friend of his at the time, ended up denying the employee's annual bonus. This was money the employee had been counting on. Furthermore, this felt like a further act of betrayal because it wasn't just coming from this guy's employer; it was coming from his so-called best friend.

Well, that was the last straw for this Redditor, who shared that he went back to his network and quickly was able to get a better job offer lined up that paid far more than what his current salary was (not to mention, a bigger bonus). He also elected not to give two weeks, which after this treatment, felt especially justified. Keep scrolling below for the full story.
