Companies have the resources to pay their skilled employees the salaries that they deserve but they choose not to do so and in the end, lose valuable employees. They often wonder why the turnover rate is so high but they would never give a raise to retain talent. Companies often face go in loss after high-performing employees quit their job. This is the dilemma with a Redditor who shared that he had been a high-performing employee and has been closing over 60 deals a year. After completing his one year at this company, he talked to his manager about a 20% raise but only got a 2% adjustment. OP\u2019s manager received $2M bonus but couldn\u2019t give a 20% raise to an employee.<\/p>\n
There was a yearly meeting in which OP asked an anonymous question and the CEO chose to answer his question. OP asked the question \u201chow do you plan to retain talent when there are other companies offering 2x the money with half of the workload?\u201d The CEO laughed at his question and replied that if you get the job, you can quit. This was the moment when OP made his decision. Scroll down to know how OP planned his malicious compliance.<\/p>\n
