Employee quits job after manager refuses to give them a raise, later finds out manager hired a less skilled replacement for a higher salary: ‘What's the point?’

How long would you be willing to stay at a job without getting a proper raise?

People in the workforce have come to the realization that it is much better to leave a job and find another, than to stay at one workplace and fight for a higher pay or a promotion there. Companies have given up on ensuring their employees are happy where they are so that they would want to stay, and have resorted to easily replacing anyone who leaves, even if it costs them more.

Each of us, the employees, has a line we would not cross when it comes to sticking in a workplace without a change. Some give it a year, others stay for five years, but eventually, we all understand that if we want progress, it will probably not happen where we currently are.

The employee in the story below quit their job after their boss denied their request for a 10k salary raise. Then, they discover that the new hire who will replace them is getting 15k more than they did, meaning the boss was willing to pay more to hire someone new than to give their seasoned employee the raise they asked for.
