Boss refuses to accept employee's resignation after denying them a well-deserved raise: 'He thinks he can just order me not to quit'

It's always amusing when bosses think they can enforce something that is fully out of their control. Sure, these folks may have risen the ranks within their respective companies, but that does not mean they are responsible for the way the entire world is run. 

In this case, we have an employee who was sick and tired of being the most dependable person on the team, even though they kept on getting denied their well-deserved raise. So when it came time for them to confront their boss about this, their raise was once again rejected. At that point, it was the final straw for the author, and they knew that it was time to resign. After all, at this point, they had gained enough experience to be able to get a much better job offer elsewhere with a salary and a title that would be worthy of their talents and skillset. 

However, there was a bit of a hiccup in this process: the employee's boss refused to accept their resignation.
