Boss gives hardworking employee a mere 2% raise, expects employee to take on several coworkers' task loads in return but they refuse: ‘Why are you hiring people who are not working?’

It seems most bosses will ask you to come in early, make you stay late, and expect you to do so without compensation (and with a BIG smile). Why? Well, bosses forget what it's like to be at the bottom of the food chain. They'll try their hardest to keep money in their pockets while they steal money from their subordinates. The corporate world is a merciless one, especially in these trying times and the current job market. A 2% raise? In this economy? You might as well fire me so I can cash in on some unemployment and catch my breath.

The employee in this next story considers quiet quitting after their boss gives them a laughable raise, all the while expecting them to double their task load in the wake of many of their colleagues going on PTO. That is not their problem—they're simply acting their wage. Once you scorn an employee, you set the tone for the amount of work they'll be doing thereafter. Don't say we didn't warn you.
