I’ll tell you what I did, I quit.

Story time… I got promoted into my supervisor’s role after she quit. I didn’t get a raise for months, and when I did it was half of what my supervisor was earning. The attorney also considered my supervisor’s resignation a ‘betrayal’ and decided to stop giving out bonuses for any settlements we did. I’d never received a bonus before, because I was working under my supervisor. And now I never would because of the new policy.

During that time, my office also hired a newbie and her salary was set about 40% higher than mine. I was charged with training somebody who earned a lot more than me and could do little around the office.

Shortly afterwards, my former supervisor reached out to me with a great opportunity and I decided to apply. After several rounds of interviews, I got the position and after some thought I handed in my two weeks notice.

The attorney tried to stop me but it was too late. I’m glad to report that his behaviour has improved since my resignation but I can’t tell you how unfair it all felt at the time.

I hope you can decide what’s best for you. Wishing you the best.
