Worker Shared Amazing Story About Finding A New Job And The Internet Loved It

Never undervalue an employee who is giving it his all.

Good employees always know their earth and would never settle for less. At times, corporates, or should I say most of the time, try to use the power of the “seat” to show superiority over employees and make them conform to the local norm of negativity. Good talent is often not recognized the way it should be and definitely not rewarded the way it should be. The foundations of such organizations cannot take the burden of such unethical activities for too long and they always fail in the long run. Yet, employers don’t understand this and undervalue their core asset which is their workforce, like it is nothing.

Today’s story is about a worker who was undervalued by his organization. The worker ended up finding a new job that acknowledged his worth and paid him 30% more than his current workplace. They were being pressed by their current organization like they were a nobody and their coworkers were the ones who made them realize their true worth and made them decide that they have to look for a new role, a role that suits them for the value they wish to give in.

The story was posted on Reddit and the internet went crazy. They absolutely loved the choice and wished him the best for the new chapter. Such acts raise the overall confidence levels in the community. Good talent shall never go to waste and the only way to retain good talent is by reinforcing it through rewards, recognition, and incentives.

5. The biggest problem in the corporate world. Not being valued for the efforts you put in and the same happened to OP. The pay didn’t reflect the efforts they were putting in at the workplace.

I don’t think this one is a brainer. I mean, why would someone want to stay at an organization that just does not value them for who they actually are. But, I really do commend the efforts of OP, and honestly, it surprises me, that they managed to work for 8.5 years at that company. Maybe it’s because he never realized his true worth himself. He just kept expecting better from the employer not knowing they had been hitting against a hard wall. Thanks to that new co-worker, OP realized that he has to move on and find a place that acknowledges their worth and before you know it, they found that workplace.

This story was amazing and the ending was super cool but it was very good of OP to share it because it sends a very positive message about self-worth and it definitely raised my confidence and I hope it raised yours too.
