God damnit. 2 more coworkers quit. One was for family reasons which I understand. The other is an exec for us. Him and I get along well even though he’s got an Eeyore, glass half empty, complains a lot personality. He gave good notice to our boss since he reports to her directly.
I know he’s been grumbling for a while and I’ve been his advocate to get him a bigger raise, better car, better bonus, etc. A lot of his woes are driven by his own decisions but he somehow blames the company. I don’t know if he’ll be happy anywhere, but he does good work and I need him in light of us losing people a lot of people since June (our company turnover is around 20%!!!)
Our division president called him and said he wouldn’t accept his resignation. They’re friends as well, so not sure how that’s going to go down.
Anyway, I found out that that are offering him $190k base. I told my boss that that’s more than I make, and she mentioned that management has been proactively looking at adjusting my salary. I’ll believe it when I see a bigger paycheck.
