When you work for a company it can be very frustrating when the boss seems to be wasting a ton of money, especially when they say they can’t give you any raises.

What would you do if you haven’t had a raise in two years, but whenever you bring up the wasted money, your boss dismisses it and says you can leave if you aren’t happy?

That is the situation that the employee in this story is in, and while he doesn’t want to find a new job, he is very frustrated about the situation.

I audited and found out my boss writes off a ton of money but refuses to give a raise.

Mainly just a rant, I was tasked with auditing something at work, basically my boss will write off tons of bills if he thinks someone is unhappy and will give bad review.

Wow, that is a lot of money.

Calculating for missing consents, complaints and clients who no longer use us. I have found that the boss writes off over 56k a month.

I tried to bring this up, and even during the middle of my audit he tried telling me it wasn’t important.

Well, his personal vacations aren’t really the business of the employees.

To make matters worse he always complains about money and funds but constantly goes on vacations(one time was literally a weekend trip to Paris) and over books our schedule when he’s about to go on these short vacations.

He hasn’t given me a raise in two years and 90% of his staff are complaining they don’t make enough.

At this point, the employees should take him up on that offer and find another job.

But he doesn’t care, his response is “there’s the door”

It can be frustrating when businesses seem to be run poorly and employees aren’t getting raises, but they can always find another job.

Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say about this story.

Finding a job is the best option.

Yup, sometimes you have to walk.

This commenter says the boss may be breaking the law.

He is doing very well for himself.

What a waste of money.

He showed them the door, they just need to walk out.
