Accounting clerk gets denied a raise after assuming the work of 2-3 people, she quits, overwhelms her boss with tasks: 'My ex-boss quit [just] two weeks after I left'

Imagine doing the work of 2-3 coworkers, only to be told that you're not putting in enough effort to deserve a raise.

This accounting clerk found herself in yet another toxic workplace environment. At first, she had a decent manager who understood and empathized with the demands of the job. However, that manager got promoted, and now, she was stuck with an unfeeling lunatic who showed absolutely no sympathy, even though this clerk was objectively taking on more responsibilities than the other folks on her team.

By the time the clerk was up for a raise, she had prepared to advocate for herself in her meeting with her boss. Not only was her request denied outright, but her boss also had the audacity to inform the clerk that she was not doing enough. This obviously hurt, but after the uncomfortable pain she endured from that conversation subsided, the author rightfully came to the realization that none of this stress was worth it for such a half-baked salary.

Guess what happened after the author quit? Well, let's just say that her boss had a bit too much trouble juggling all of her responsibilities. Perhaps she wasn't putting in enough effort either!
