‘I actually got to see a "shocked Pikachu" face’: Employee expected to get a $20k raise is actually offered $6k and told to “just quit” if he's unhappy, so he does and finds a higher paying job

Working hard and doing your best is great advice to be successful in your care path. However, sometimes you have to do something risky in order to grow. Like this employee. He had been working long and tirelessly at his job. He was told if he were to get a certain promotion, he would be making $20k more than his original. So he worked hard, even took extra classes online in order to qualify for the position. And yet, when he was offered the promotion, they only told him he would get a $6k raise. Infuriated, he expressed his disappointment to his boss. And guess what he said? He told the employee that if he didn't like it, he should just quit. 

 

Well, that employee took that advice to heart and started applying to new jobs. He thought it would take months, maybe even a year. But within just a few weeks, he was already offered a new and higher paying position. So, he quit. His risk here was applying to new jobs while still employed, which can definitely get someone fired. But he didn't care, that boss basically told him to do just that and his boss' faces was in complete shock when he turned in his two weeks notice.
