Today, I quit my job because my company wouldn't give me the raise I've been asking for for 2 years. I just saw the ad on Craigslist for my replacement position. The starting salary is above what I was asking for. FML

Hey all - Thanks for the comments... I did have another job before quitting and I did give my 2 week notice. I'm not stupid in this kind of economy. When giving my 2 week notice, my boss offered to match my current salary and I denied it. I then saw the craigslist posting for more money after I already denied what my boss tried to match for me since I felt it was too late and my new job paid way more. Therefore the uneducated, stupid, and not doing well at my job part doesn't apply. However the undervalued, stupid boss does. :)

The EXACT same thing happened to my boss at my old job! And then they replaced her with someone with less experience, who doesn't do nearly as much work. It makes me furious. =( I'm so sorry that happened to you, hon.

FYL for having a boss who wants to get rid of u so bad and would be willing to pay someone else more than u and on the other hand YDI for w.e reason he didnt want to give u a raise had to have been something that u didnt do

Thats why you give two weeks notice, not walk off the job the day you quit - which also harms you when it comes time to future potential employers checking your business. No one wants someone who quits without notice, and if you had put in notice, and weren't a totally lousy employee they wanted to get rid off, you would have been offered a raise to stay

Why work for a company that recruits through craigslist? WTF??? Move on and get a job at a real company.
