Today, after declining an amazing job offer that pays more than double what I make now in order to accept a promotion my boss offered me if I stayed, I asked when I would receive the promotion and pay raise. She snorted and said, "You thought I was serious about that?" FML

Should have taken the other job. I doubt your promotion would have doubled your salary

It may not be too late: check if you can still get the offer for the other job.

Should always get it in writing!!! # 1 rule. Now you know.

Quit your job. Seems like they need you and you can obviously get other job offers!

You could probably sue your employer, actually. You relied on her promise to your economic detriment.

Don't stay for the job that only wants to recognize your worth when you're headed out the door. If anything, leave and come back. Your boss is a fool. Call the other company to find out if that position is open or if there are any similar.

Ydi, get it in writing or leave.. Seems like common sense to me..

Should have gotten the offer from your boss in writing.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Sorry sweetie you deserve it, if it was an amazing job and paid you double you should have taken it. You live you learn
