BOSS FORCE EMPLOYEE TO LIE AFTER GIVING A RAISE, EMPLOYEE QUIT

I’m a regular office guy who does IT and additional “this and that” for a mid-sized company. I program, set up, and run 4 POS machines at 4 locations islandwide and paid I have felt I am underpaid for a while and looked at other workplaces.

Got a job offer to do something similar for 20% more salary. The owner of the company where I work has said loudly on the shop floor that he does not compete for workers and never will. I, therefore, gave my 2-week notice to him in his office and went back to work.

I told my coworkers I quit and why. The next day the owner comes to me and offers me 25% more and another week leave. I accept out of a sense of obligation because I have received a lot of training from them. I tell my co-workers I am staying with no mention of the offer, but it’s not hard to figure out. My supervisor immediately goes and demands a raise.

The boss lies to him and says he made no competing offer. The boss comes to me and says that I need to tell everyone I lied about the job offer to squeeze more money from him and that I was not offered another job, and he did not offer more money.

I then quit and left. Emailed HR my resignation stating why. I then emailed my job offer letter from the other company to my coworkers to show I am no liar.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Your ex boss is trying to control things that he isn’t allowed to. With that attitude he will be lucky to keep any employees.
  • I’ve always felt that once you have decided to leave, leave.
  • You are only worth what you can negotiate. Your ability to create value for your employer is only a part of your wages. Some employees DESTROY value, but are able to make the same wage (or even higher) than their coworkers because they can negotiate better.
