    ‘That's when they started panicking’: Overworked employee secretly scores new job with a 50% pay raise, then quits, leaving higher-ups to put out the fires they've created

    An underappreciated, overworked employee will ensure that the day they can leave their toxic workplace for greener pastures, they'll do so happily. We're told that nobody actually enjoys their jobs, but we think an employee should at least feel appreciated in the role they're in.

    All of this hard work, and for what? To be put through the ringer each time we complete work tasks that don't reflect above-and-beyond work ethic? We're supposed to act our wage, and if we're not seeing the appreciation or the dollar signs, you better believe we're sprucing up our resumes each time we receive an unwarranted verbal warning.

    The employee in the story below does exactly that, and even manages to score a new position with a 50% pay increase from their current toxic workplace. Say goodbye to those toxic managers who preach about "family" but don't know the first thing about positive reinforcement; it's time to move on to a role where they are genuinely appreciated for the work they do. When this employee hands in their notice, their workplace tries to match the pay increase. It's not about the money, boss… It's about the environment. Keep scrolling to read the full story.
