So about 6 months ago when my yearly review took place I asked for a $2/hr raise. My boss said he could only give me ¢0.62/hr raise, this is as high as he could try for me since he didn’t make the decisions about things like that.
He always said he loved me and my work ethic. I made a positive impact on the team and we had a very nice working dynamic. When my raise request was denied, I was disappointed, not at my boss but at my company for being stingy.
So I started looking for another job. My boss knew I was disappointed and always asked me how I was doing and if I was happy. I always told him I was fine, even though obv I felt undervalued. I didn’t think I was asking for a lot to begin with. I figured there was nothing he could do so I never expressed my concerns after everything happened.
I found a job and put my two weeks notice. When I did so, he scrambled to give me a raise for $4/hr, matching what the other company offered, which was more than I even asked for initially. It was a big deal and lots of people had to get involved (higher ups). I said I’d stay because I like my job and the people I work with.
However, the other company counter-counter offered $6/hr more, plus it comes with experience in a field I want to get into. I want to express that I was NOT expecting to get more money.
After the paperwork for the raise was already finalized, I told my boss I was grateful for everything, but the other company made me an offer I cannot turn down and I put in my two weeks notice again.
My boss is now pretty much giving me the cold shoulder, acting very passive aggressively and taking it out on the whole team. He told me he went through hoops for me for the raise and I let him and the team down. We’re not on speaking terms, and things have really soured. I even tried to ask to extend my 2 weeks notice into 3, so they had more time to find and train my replacement, he said it’s fine, I can go sooner if I want to.
I went from being his favorite employee to being the black sheep. I feel uncomfortable and really sad that our whole relationship fell apart over this. I really wanted to do things right and leave the correct way.
Not sure if there is anything I should be trying to do to help this situation and I’m new to this career world and still navigating. A little advise or input would help. Thank you all.
Tldr; my relationship with my boss fell apart over my resignation, I’m struggling to figure out what to do, if anything at all.
