Employee quits job after being denied a promotion and raise for heavy workload, company begs her to stay, but when she refuses, they are forced to hire three people to replace her: 'Could've saved themselves a lot of money by giving me what I asked for'

Imagine trying to prove to your company that you're being overworked, and they turn the tables and prove the very same point to you…Except now it's too late. Are you not quite catching on? Well, let us explain this employee's story to you all! This employee was undoubtedly a hard worker, constantly (and with difficulty) taking on 3 times her workload every day. She was tired and burnt out, but considered herself the furthest thing from a quitter….So she continued working, but this time requested a well-deserved promotion and raise for her efforts…

As you could've guessed. Her request was denied. Why? Well, not all corporate companies understand the value of their employees, even those sitting right under their noses. So she began rethinking this whole "I'm no quitter" thing and sent in her resignation. But after realizing that replacing her was somewhat impossible, they begged her to reconsider. Her answer was pretty much identical to their initial one: no way. So she packed up her desk, and instead of the company having to give her that extra $5k raise, they were forced to fork out money for 3 more people's salaries to cover her workload and fill the void she left behind…
