I know your pain like no other.
I was working in this company as an IT Specialist.
After spending about 2 years in the company, beloved by all employees and clients, and have a dedicated employee of the month award, I took a shot at asking for a pay raise. I am was making $40,000.00 per year and most places were paying around $55,000 to more.
I was informed that the company cannot afford that because they were looking into expanding the IT department to make our jobs "Easier".
I was not mad. I was said okay and continued on working.
But during "My Time" I was applying for other positions.
Two weeks later, they hired another IT Specialist, a young black guy fresh out of college.
His knowledge of the IT Field was very weak.
To give you an example, he thought the Shared IT Network drive was for his personal files.
He stored his W-2, Email Files, and everything personal on the Drive where the whole team could see.
My co-worker who been their for a year informed the black guy about it and we had to teach him where to store his personal files.
But before we cleaned his stuff out of the Network Drive, I had a small look.
This black guy was hired in the same position and title as myself, but he was being paid a little over $65,000 per year.
While I been their for 2 years and been only making $40,000.00 per year with no pay raise.
That is not the worst part at all.
This black guy was sexually harassing the female co-workers.
He was breaking more stuff and could not fix a single IT basic issue.
He was caught watching porn with his hands down his pants while working.
When I finally left that company, everything started falling a part.
My co-worker their informed me that the black guy stabbed the new IT guy who replaced me.
The new IT guy was also black and was making $70,000 per year.
The black guy who was making $65,000 found out and stabbed the black guy who was getting $70,000.
I received phone calls asking if I would come back for more money.
I informed them that money would not be enough to put up with that nonsense.
