The price paid for desperation

[ad_1]

I hope no one at my office uses Reddit…
Anyways, I’ve been getting job offers with other companies. Good ones. Ones with growth. Not stuck here in company with no growth and no future.
I’ve been so excited for getting to second interview that even though I don’t have the offer(s) in hand yet, I cleaned my desk off yesterday.

Packed all my pins, took home all the notes, left behind the manuals and my headset, took home the bag under my desk stuffed with sweaters and paper cutlery. Threw away all the sticky notes on my monitor.
I guess someone noticed because this morning I get a frantic voicemail saying “Hey, call me back! You’re getting a raise!”
I hadn’t said anything to anyone about if I was going, but yeah. Summer is coming and there’s only 5 of us when there’s supposed to be 10 and I overheard someone yesterday was looking at leaving.

It’s going to be kinda funny if I end up leaving too and they will have to shrink hours or something in order to operate but hey, clean desk off, get raise. 🙂
