I started working for this start up in the Summer of 2018 (I was 21) and since then I kept my head down and worked without ever discussing finances.15 months down I got this minimal raise which made my work harder by at least 2-3 times. I still, without complaining anything, I kept working. Mid 2020, I realised I need to stand up for myself and I set a date with the founder that I'd like to be appraised.In the meanwhile, I had this idea that I can do the same thing as he does (it's a service industry, nothing proprietary).When the appraisal took place it was awfully capping my growth. What he once promised was a commision model with no cap, it turned into a year end bonus with a cap of 20% of my annual salary, which was increased by 20% (while the company has grown exponentially, 7 new hires, some of them senior than me). He gave me this appraisal on December 26th. I did not shake hands on it, I said I needed time. But I have failed to come with therms to what I was offered, as I was the most reliable hand in this company.I tried to renegotiate today and I brought up his promises from the past and he suggested I should give my notice period because "I'd never hear the end of it", my boss said.I've made up my mind. I'm quitting. 3 months post my exit, I'll be establishing a company on similar lines.I just wanted a platform to open up about it. That's all. Thanks for reading! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
