  1. 1

    I recently handed in my two weeks' notice after nearly five years at my job as an entry-level clerical worker. Initially, my boss respected my role, but over time, I found myself taking on a lot more responsibilities, including tasks typically handled by HR generalists, all while still being paid like an entry-level employee. When I approached my boss about a promotion or raise to reflect my increased workload, he dismissed my request with a dirty look and claimed it was out of his control, despite being the head of HR. He suggested I reach out to higher-ups, but it was clear he wouldn't support me. I already have a new job lined up, so I decided it was time to leave. After submitting my notice, my boss sent out an email about training sessions, excluding me from the list of attendees. While I understand the need for training, I feel strongly that I shouldn't have to train my replacements, especially given how my contributions have been undervalued. I'm grappling with whether I should just stick to my decision and not train anyone, or if I should swallow my pride and help out. It feels wrong to train others when my salary hasn't reflected the work I've done. I know I deserve better, and it’s time to move on.
