ME: I got a work proposal from some company
MANAGER: That sounds awful! Don't you like here?
ME: I like the people.
MANAGER: Is there anything that can change your mind?
ME: It actually is.
MANAGER: It's money, isn't it?
ME: Well, yes. Inflation is 10%, I haven't got any raise.
MANAGER: How much do you want?
ME: The other company is offering me +25%, so that's the amount.
MANAGER: I will try to speak to the higher ups, but there's already an order from above not to raise wages.
ME: Please do. How much do you think it will take?
MANAGER: speak to me in one week.
Two weeks after.
ME: Hey, did you speak with the higher ups?
MANAGER: Yes, and they said we shouldn't raise your wage.
ME: Ok then, we should talk about my resignation.
MANAGER: But couldn't you still not leave? You don't have a small salary after all.
ME: The prices are crazy, next year there is a prognosed high inflation too, and I have kids to take care of. So, regretfully, I will have to say good bye.
I wasn't the only one who resigned and for three seniors who left, they only found a junior to joined them now. I don't feel sorry for the company, I feel sorry for my former colleagues who have to endure a higher workload, because business people don't care there is a smaller number of people to do the same jobs.
