CEO refuses to grant a raise for an all-star employee despite saving the company $250,000, then the big boss is forced to outsource contractors for twice the cost when the employee quits: ‘[He] resigned immediately'

Bosses don't realize that without the workforce, nobody will be around to make them money. This all-star employee proved that to an arrogant CEO after making himself indispensable, giving the big boss a run for his money in the process. 

In my opinion, if an employee carries the business, there should be an altar of worship in their name in the boss's corner office. Although CEOs tend to think of themselves as the most important person in the company, more likely than not, it's the boots on the ground getting the actual work done. Without the workforce, CEOs have nothing—no meetings to hold, no quarterly numbers to boast, and a lot of shareholders to answer to. So when this all-star worker saved his company $250,000, he thought his job security was a guarantee, hoping for a big raise of 15% to cover so much savings. Alas, this idiotic CEO wanted to cut corners on salary spending and despite every supervisor's blessing, he denied this employee's raise request. 

Scroll onward to see how this boss immediately reaps his cheapskate harvest when his best worker quits on the spot.
