Some of you may remember me b**chin about my job and how my boss takes credit for everything I do and pays me in peanuts, constantly increases my work load and never thanks me for coming in early and staying late every day. I have been with these guys for over 12 years and I have finely had enough. I put my resume together (thanks again Busa Jules for fixing the spelling and grammar) and put it out for all to see. I found a job working for a company that does the exact same thing as me and even buys their products from the same venders. The only difference is that this company is in a larger market place and can afford to pay me what I’m worth. I have asked my boss for a raise several times and I always get the same answer, “if you don’t like it go find another jobâ€. Well, I took his advice and now he’s begging me to stay. I just scored myself a raise of $22,560 a year, my health insurance is now paid for in full by my employer, I get a company gas card to use whenever I want, and they have a 401K that he matches 5%. The gas card alone will save me $300 a month and I have no 401K where im at now. I will get yearend bonuses that range from $1000.00 to $15,000.00 depending on the amount of business I bring in and my salary is only a starting point. The company I work for now could never afford to pay me close to what the new company is starting me at, let alone increase it as time goes on. The only bad part about is I need to relocate my family to Houston Texas. I grew up in Washington DC and swore I would never move back to a major city but living in a small town has only gotten me small pay so if I want to support my family the way I want I need to move to a larger market place soooooooooo Houston here I come. Houston is not all that bad; I have a couple of cushions who live there so I have some support. I can’t wait to start the next chapter in our life and Im looking forward to moving to Houston!
Right on brother! Best of luck and break a leg!!
