Non-contractual agreement to increase salary after probation, boss now completely ignoring me.
For starters, I have 2 jobs so have the luxury of being able to do whatever I want in this situation.
I started a new job earlier this year. It was a big career jump for me so I didn’t have the on-the-job experience they were looking for, but I did have certifications as well as the right attitude to learning and was hired, they said they were looking to fill the position for 6 months prior and just waiting for the right person.
When they offered me the job, they offered it at xx salary with a 15% uplift after successfully passing my 6 month probation and proving that I can do the job despite my lack of experience.
My probation was passed earlier than 6 months so I was doing something right. 7 months in, the uplift hasn’t been mentioned so I drop my manager (now my manager’s manager) an email and remind them and ask if they’re happy to proceed with the uplift.
No reply.
A week later I send a gentle reminder, specifically asking if the lack of reply is the answer to my question. No reply again.
So now these guys can screw themselves. I was overworked anyway, and hate everything the company stands for so I’ve already started applying for other jobs.
I have a longer than normal notice period which is annoying. I’m thinking of giving them the same courtesy and giving my notice then ignoring them when they try to ask why I’m not working it.
What would you do?
Netizens’ comments
- After sending the notice, switching from “overworked” to “bare minimum” would be the main priority.
- Maybe a bad company, but either way you go, recommend a live discussion first face to face.
- Why are you even still serving a notice? Just f-ing quit straight away. Go into the office, raid the pantry then get out of there for good.
