My mom’s old boss is having an absolute meltdown because she quit, and the reason is just golden. My mom worked for this small local firm for about 8 years. For years, we’ve all been telling her she’s underpaid.
She was basically running the whole office for the owner, who drives a new Porsche every year, but her salary barely budged outside of a couple of inconsistent bonuses. When she finally got the courage to ask for a real raise, he shot her down flat. So, after a little encouragement, she quietly started looking around.
She found an opening at a larger, regional competitor. Even though she didn’t have the specific degree they listed in the posting, her years of solid experience got her in the door. After a couple of rounds of interviews, they made her an offer within three weeks.
The new offer was insane. It took her from around $60,000 to $110,000. Nearly double her salary, plus it came with actual, real benefits.
She was floored. But here’s the best part. When she went to put in her notice, her old boss completely lost it.
He started calling her constantly, making all these frantic counter-offers and empty promises that she knew were garbage. During one of these desperate conversations, he offered to beat the new company’s salary. And then, get this, he looked her right in the eye and said, “I know I wasn’t paying you what you were actually worth to me.”
The absolute audacity.
Admitting he knew he was undervaluing her for all those years while she was raising two kids on her own, right under his nose. I am just so, so happy she turned him and is getting out of there. What a total scumbag.
