‘You can’t leave, you're my only employee': Boss demands overworked employee not to quit after he gets a better offer, but refuses to give him a raise

It is one thing to like your boss as a person and another thing to like your boss as a boss. They can be wonderful people, and you can have a lot in common with them, but still be terrible at managing people, and give you a hard time at the job. This is why it is important to separate between the two and remember that even though you might like your boss outside the work, they are still the person who is in charge.

The employee in this Reddit story also learned that although his boss was generally a nice guy, he wasn't the best boss. He was putting a lot of pressure on OP (original poster), who was his sole employee, and did not give him the proper recognition, let alone the proper pay, for his hard work. Eventually, OP got a much better job offer and decided to let his boss know that he was leaving. In return, dear bossman tried to guilt-trip OP into not leaving him. Not much of a "nice guy" now, huh?
