Rich CEO tells employee 'low pay is a good thing because it entices you to be more responsible,' employee quits without notice: 'The hypocrisy is unreal'

Everyone wants to feel like they're being fairly compensated for the work they do. It's part of what makes a job sustainable. Not only do you need enough money to live, you need enough money to feel appreciated, or else your sense of purpose will dwindle over time. The best employers know this and do their best to pay their employees not only a living wage but a wage that matches their commitment to the company. Loyalty doesn't come for free when it comes to business. 

What certainly isn't appreciated are mind games, tricks employers play to keep their workers in line. Or unsolicited advice that ends up feeling patronizing. That's what happened in this situation when an employer gave some pretty paternalistic advice to his loyal employee. But he soon learned his lesson when his employee put him in his place. Read on for the story and see what you think.
