‘I’m not proving my value, bye': Tenured team member told by boss he needs to become a manager to get a raise, despite being paid $40,000 under market value

What will it take for managers to wake up? Do all their most experienced employees need to walk out the door for them to agree to a raise? Getting ahead with inflation today is hard, but companies are making it so much harder by underpaying you and expecting you to just take it. Well, let's collectively say 'no more' to silence, because this is getting ridiculous.

One employee was working at a manufacturing company, making way less than his coworkers. He was frustrated after he saw other people getting a raise, while he was left behind. He was the top employee in his team, but we all know that gets you nowhere. Eventually he approached his boss, figuring he might as well demand the raise that he deserved. He asked for 30% more, which was a bargain if you ask me. Scroll down to read how it all ended up playing out, and then for more stories like this, here is a demanding couple who kept changing their order so that their server would look bad.
