good fuckem. who needs a job in this economy anyways......

I knew someone who was fired for asking for a raise. He was making about 50% less than new people being brought in to do the same work in the same department. He wasn't even asking for the full amount, just a 10% raise. They fired him, and hired two guys at more than the last new people had been hired at. So, two brand new people who didn't know the ropes, rather than retaining a guy who had been there for years, and knew pretty much everything about the operation. I won't say he was the absolutely most skilled person, but he was definitely worth keeping. I made it through 5 rounds of firings before the department head axed me, because I was more knowledgeable than him. So, more new people who don't know the operation are running it at higher pay. It's going well for the deparment head who works under the concept of "job security through obscurity", And, if you read this yes, I'm talking about you.

To all those who keep saying that the company was stupid for letting her go; Experience isn't everything. In fact, experience is one of the last places that count in most areas save a select few (IT, for example). You may be new to the field, but if you're intelligent and have a good work ethic, you will be a dozen times more valuable to a company than someone who's been working there for 10 years but only puts in a couple hours of useful effort a day. And as for why they didn't fire her; with the discrimination laws the way they are, if you fire a woman or a minority for any reason that isn't bolded in big red letters on the job requirements, you have a lawsuit on your hands. Finally, #48, sarcasm is fun! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

just apply again xD

if you didn't have a fall back then YDI should of stuck it out a bit longer, raises arn't that big a deal in times like this.

easy, just re-apply for the job!

it's really your fault. you sucked at your job, that's why you didn't get a raise.

I have an idea for your infantile excuse of a human mind to chew on: YOU DIDNT DESERVE THE RAISE, FUCKTARD. THEY FIGURED NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY DO A WORSE JOB THAN YOU.

quitting a job right now is STUPID. good luck finding a new one at all. i don't know how it is where you live, but quitting means no unemployment checks, here.

my guess is they don't think you're worth what you were asking. The job may entail more money for a replacement, but they didn't think you deserved it Sorry - move on
