"I AM QUITTING was fine with the job sort of for a while. Then it just started to irk me that xxx was paid more than me. The truth is that I taught myself web development because i imagined making tons of money and tele-commuting from exotic beaches. When i was literally the lowest-paid person in the office, but worked every day, I started to get a little agitated. The new xxx xxx gets 5k more than me. Accountant makes at least double. And if xxx makes even 5 cents more than me, then i figure it's some kind of awful injustice. She is probably the most annoying/distinguished mentally-challenged/unhelpful useless employee i have ever seen. Plus her husband is loaded. She doesn't even need the money but whines and sighs all day long like she's in some prison camp. I finally snapped when xxx asked me if I had problems paying my rent, more or less, he asked me if I'd become homeless because I had said I was moving, and was coming in unshaven. Then, very nicely, but came off to me as enormously patronizing he offered me a loan to "get back on my feet". And i'm like, hey, I don't need a loan, dude. I need a fucking raise! I just burrowed 2k from my bankrupt parents and I don't want to owe anyone any money. Then, coming into the office and seeing xxx with her enormous diamond ring and hearing her sigh about her problems ('oh.. ahhh... oh... so much copy.... ahhh. I am the senior marketing director... oh... ahhh ), i just lost it. I told xxx I was leaving two days after he offered me the loan. But the next person to take the job will not be a programmer. xxx wants the site to make more money and needs more of a marketing person. I don't think he realized that what was originally envisioned as "small changes" to the website and order management actually amounts to a full time job. Anyways, we're relaunching the site in a month or so and if there are things that need to be done and the new marketing person can't figure it out, you better believe i will be submitting invoices. How's everything going with you?""
Nice to know I wasn't alone!
