It does feel great to leave an employer that pays and treats you like shit, doesn’t it? I had one of those sweet fuck-you goodbyes.
Basically, my contract was about to expire – they abused temp worker time limited contracts – and a few weeks before that I said I’m not signing the extension. My TL was really desperate, offered to accommodate, say I’m next in line to receive the unlimited company issued contract instead of the temp agency one, that included a small raise (because the temp agency wouldn’t take a piece of my cake) and some benefits. I knew this was coming, but it meant nothing to me. So naturally, I was like lol, nope, byeeee.
The reason why they were even handing out company contracts is because the turnover rate was so high, more people were leaving than applying for the position, and the company was desperate to stop the remaining employees from leaving.
I do get a raise each year now, but that’s only through collective bargaining. The employer can’t weasel out of it. But it’s only catching up to inflation and the rise of cost of living. Well, not really, but it’s at least a tiny bit of something. The real raise, though? I was told in a very nice corporate way to go fuck myself. I’m sorry, but I’m not working myself to death just so they swould maybe give me some peanuts. It definitely hurts when my partner has gotten multiple raises plus bonuses in their company, and I’m here getting fucked. Well, the least I can do is to not work hard, and do the bare minimum, since the employer doesn’t value my time.
