Comment on Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
S_204@lemm.ee 1 year agoI was abundantly clear that I was leaving for the money. They countered with a salary that was pretty much identical, but I wasn’t shy about telling hr that it shouldn’t take me getting another offer to convince them that I was worth paying market rates for.
No bridges burned, they’ve reached out twice now to see if I’d come back and the salary is now pretty competitive but I’m in a good spot and not interested in leaving.
You can be honest and diplomatic…if you try.

So what you’re saying is that your reason for leaving wasn’t about the money

It was specifically about the money. Please don’t be one of those people so ignorant as to believe that a firm who doesn’t value their employees until they’re one foot out the door is somewhere that will pay you what you’re worth in the long run.
Money isn’t only valuable in this instant, the availability of money in the future is also an important factor.
