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. :)

if they hired a male replacement for you and provided you are a female you can sue them for wage to gender discrimination anyways all the best for your future

Unless they said "if you're a woman, you'll be paid x and if you're a man, you'll be paid 1.5x", that really doesn't apply. It was possibly a post which the boss couldn't afford to have empty for long so he offered more to get someone to apply.
