'Either do your job or hand in your resignation': Long-time employee calls boss's bluff, leads mass exodus

This boss felt confident in telling one employee to quit… but he didn't think they'd actually do it.

In a story to r/Maliciouscompliance, this employee shared what happened when they worked for a company with high turnover and low pay. U/Catacombs3 wrote that it was a continuous cycle. People would be hired, trained, and could often hit their targets. But paying your employees a low salary means they can't be loyal to you: they're always going to be looking for someone else who can pay them more. The stress of having a low wage is no joke. When money is always on your mind, it's hard to focus on the good parts of life.

This employee had idealistic visions of the company, and they stayed long after other employees had switched to competing companies. They thought that since they worked so hard and were so dedicated, their employer would see the light, and decide to give them a raise or a promotion. In so many cases, though, these raises or promotions just aren't going to happen. Bosses will lie through their teeth, promising employees these dreams of future success, but it's just not going to happen.
