Let this story serve as motivation for those of you who have been denied raises repeatedly. The truth of the matter is that most employers do not know how good they have it and aren't necessarily thinking of all the consequences should you choose to leave them in the dust. Your boss does not know exactly how worthy your efforts are, and if you spell them out for your employer and they still don't acknowledge said efforts with a much-deserved raise, then it's time to start considering your options as these star employees did.
They tripled their company's customer base yet were denied a $100 per month raise that would have amounted to $2400 per year between the two of them. Well, the head honchos would come to regret their decision-making because their star employees opted to quit on the spot. To make matters even worse for the company, their replacement ended up scamming customers and costing the company $300,000. Call me crazy but I would have taken the $2400 loss instead.
